I've said this before. I'd like a drooling smiley for talking about tasty food/drink. Also a puking smiley for being hungover. That'd save all the time boardsies take to describe their hangovers!

Definitely need more smiles. I agree with the need for a drool one. Even something subtle like these

And something like this for the rock forum, but less animated

The words "Dear sweet suffering Christ no" spring to mind.

Aww but why? We can start adding them one every year - like new marshmallows in the box of Lucky Charms. Blue Moons were the best thing to ever happen to that cereal...

Do away with smilies entirely - use words to express yourself. Are smilies not another shorthand like the dreaded textspeak?

I'm with nipplenuts and aidan_walsh. I also wish that smilies were turned off by default and you had to select the button to post a smily as opposed to selecting to turn off smilies on each post you make as it is now.

Just one or two threads about this in our history:

That's all very well in PI but smileys are the lifeblood of Humour and Lolocaust.

well you can always just use like that... most of us will get what you mean. Hmm... could we set up some kind of electro-shock system to notify whenever someone uses that smiley though?
