    I second that.

    It's the most misused emoticon ever.

    :rolleyes:

    Ok, I'm taking the piss with it a bit much on this thread, but I think it's an effective emoticon that can get a point across pretty well.

    I disagree. People use it as a substitute for making a reasoned counter-argument all too often.

    Perhaps, but I think it can be used to punctuate a counter argument quite effectively.

    Wasn't there a thread about having playing card symbols (Hearts spades etc.) as emoticons a while ago? For the poker forums and stuff.

    Was there any further on that?

    yes, myself and Ecksor are looking into the best way to do that. The upgrade got in th way but its on my ever increasing list of things to do. Now that we are upgraded its time for me to sit down and zero that list.... which is another thing on the list :)

    No worries DeVore, you've done some very fine work indeed with the upgrade, so whatever your priorities are, I'm sure people'll understand.

    Frankly, I'd be happy if all we got was the Dio emoticon added, and Pacman reinstated. dio.gif

    So, KH, lemme get this straight, you'd like a Dio emoticon?

    ;)

    I think more emoticons could be fun tbh, and should be considered.

    Certainly the four suits would be very handy for the card players among us.

    However, use of same should probably be restricted, in a similiar manner to the sitewide prohibition on txt spk.

    For some examples of rampant smiley abuse, let us turn to our departed friends at the A.A.A.I.

    :D :) :eek: :rolleyes:

    As KH says, not to worry. It can happen sometime.

    The only one I'd really like to see added is a drooling one for use in the food or BGRH forums. Saying mmmm just isn't as effective!

    Bingo! Although the guy's expression is a little bit vacant, like he's not all there.

    I'm sure it will suit us all fine!

    I'm all in favour of new smilies, but restraint should be exercised. People will forget how to type if we have too many. We do need a O_o smilie and a :/ smilie. In order to make room for em we should get rid of :rolleyes: < the lil bastard annoys the crap out of me.
