No More Smilies!

I'm just saying, that's all.

In fairness, there has been plenty of bleating about the lack of smilies, which I thought the Admins* had addressed admirably with ww) wich obviously relates to all things troll-like given the nature of WWM.

However on returning from holidays I was awestruck by the benevolence of the Admins* in blessing us all with two more - but of an inscrutable nature. For instance hovering over :horned: just gives "horned.gif" and :f33r: gives "ph33r.gif" as opposed to something useful like "confused" and "big grin"

Then I realised that this must surely be a test (or something) and the new smiles must be named - properly.

So given that :f33r: is really the Odlums brand, and Odlums make flower, :f33r: must refer to all thing flourly or flowery or in their flowers

That other thing I don't have a clue about.

* Bless them in their magnificence

The Odlums :f33r: is evil

gimme · 02-10-2003 10:22am

:f33r:
is ace

amp · 02-10-2003 10:45am

Yes but it's still evil.

Indeed. From fúcktards. The regular smilies I can handle, these new smilies are for fúcktards. I can turn avatars and sigs off if I want, but I'm stuck with these stupid things being plastered all over the shop like so much dog poop.

I'm just saying, that's all. The ninja, the wwm and the horned helmet are for fúcktards. The Odlums one is kinda cute, I'll admit, but it's there for a fúcktarded reason, which is quite possibly worse. ph33r? What are we, twelve?

I'm just saying, that's all. I don't expect anything to change.

MarcusGarvey · 02-10-2003 11:22am

Adam, I think this can all be sorted out with a nice warm fúcktard smilie.

koneko · 02-10-2003 11:54am

Leave the smilies alone.

What did they ever do to you, huh?

which, in fact, isn't far from the truth!

:horned: :f33r:

BuffyBot · 02-10-2003 12:13pm

:f33r: is actually the work of Satan.

I heard that somewhere, honest!

Cake Fiend · 02-10-2003 12:28pm

The WWMan smiley is actually fairly auld, there even used to be a Dav smiley somewhere.

Some of the new smileys are sh1te (well, the horns one is) but that shouldn't discourage the hard work and effort (pff) of the mods who introduce them to the Boards Experience. I wouldn't agree with the request of 'No More Smilies', but perhaps 'No More Crap Smilies' mightn't be a bad idea.

I actually thought :f33r: was something out of Wipeout the very first time I saw it :ninja:

I entirely disagree, and I won't back up my statement either.

A seven-post user's opinion is really important to me.

That's nice.

This ZERO POST USER is thinking about going to look for more crappy smileys.

Stop being so Cústarded.

Stop following me. I really have to agree with Adam now. Smiley users are fúcktarded.

Maybe we should have a fúcktard smiley which can be used as an ironic gesture to every smiley put in every post.

ColinM · 02-10-2003 1:55pm

I have been using the Internet for about 12 years and have sent countless emails and posted thousands of messages on newsgroups in that time.

I have never once used a smiley. I have been able to express myself just fine without using emoticons.

Amn't I great?

Pepe LeFrits · 02-10-2003 2:07pm

The new smileys are stupid and have no use other than spam.

ww) :horned: :f33r: :ninja: ww)

:eek:

I agree with adam, the ninja, the viking and the odlums logo are useless, I think i remember DeV saying he only wanted smileys that represented a feeling or whatnot.

DeV.

Ahh here we go.

I Wish to meet whoever thinks viking smileys, ninjas and odlums logos are "nice, well-defined smilies"

It has come to my attention that the odlums thing is in some way lucutus and mark related. Still though, it means fuck all to 99% of boards, which is why its silly.

mike65 · 02-10-2003 11:17pm

I've found a use for one of them -

This from a recent post -

Idiots the lot of them...they should be impailed on :horned: and garotted with co-axial!

When are we going to get an :embarassed: smilie?

Mike.

mike65 · 02-10-2003 11:24pm

Nah, embarassed has a red hue

Capt'n Midnight · 02-10-2003 11:36pm

- this looks like pontificating to me
. . . speaking while looking down your nose at someone

:horned: - this is a hells angel

:f33r: - this is his bike (*** its trés cool - and ethnic)

Possibly because you are not linking directly to an image file (i.e. cow.gif )

No More Smilies!
