Suggestion More Smileys

Blue · 11-05-2008, 04:39 PM

Adam,

I know you are busy and this is probably a low priority, but how difficult would it be to add a few more smileys to liven up the threads and help set the tone of a comment? Here are some ideas.

No.

No.

Never.

I don't know where you got those novelty smilies from, but I'd bloody well do a virus scan if I were you.

Animated GIF smilies are cancer.

They violate the internet. No other term for it. A little wiggling thing on your screen is distracting as all hell.

What are you, anyway? Twelve?

How about l33tspeak? How about jokes about "teh buttseks"? How about a sub-forum dealing with the topic of tentacle rape anime?

If you can't express it in simple words and maybe the odd, simple emoticon "

", don't bother. Do you somehow think having an anthropomorphic ping-pong ball waving a placard somehow taps into a centre of deep recognition, obedience and urgency within the brain?

"Oh, he's asking for pictures. Screw it, I say- wait. Oh, he's pulled a smiley that's spraypainting "GIVE. US. PICS." on an 8-bit wall. Oh, Jupiter. Oh, Zeus. I'd better do what he says."

No. How 'bout we put some ads for porn sites up, while we're at it? That'll raise some funds.

This ain't 1998 anymore. The novelty of the animated smiley wore thin, then wore off, long ago.

They've been scanned twice before attachment. They are examples of smileys from a couple of popular forums that have nothing to do with perversion if that is what you are implying. Furthermore, they are standard smileys. But, heck, we could always go back to a lynx crawler like in 1993.

is definitely a nice smiley, haha! But for the sake of tidiness, I won't be adding any extra ones to the site at this time. Feel free to link to off-site smilies, though in moderation, as needed.

Thanks Adam. No more than I use them, that will work as long as you don't mind.
