I believe the changes were done out of practicality, not as a way to
frag with the game-scene (right, Mr. Kenson?). Speaking as a webpage
designer who has over 300 of the little SR-type quotes, they're a
~*pain*~ ! They take extra formatting & the closing quote always wants
to end up on its own line. And then there's the problem of whether or
not to indent them in <blockquotes>. (I solved this by adding blank
space to the start of my transparent gifs). But I digress...
Even 'tho I prefer the look of the >>>>>[older ones]<<<<< ,
the (>)new
bullets are very quick & easy to format documents with -- you just add
a single character to the start of the paragraph & format around it,
without worrying about the hanging indents or length of the post.

Check out the Big Knobi Klub this weekend for examples of both bullets.
Yea, we're (finally) switching over to the newer ones.
