    I find that I'm just not getting my subtle derision across at times.

    and as for deadpan...

    Yep. I have a store of favoured ones I can use. But, they're linked via Photobucket so, of course, I can't show them here with "[IMG]" :([/img]

    no?

    I agree. And, rather than having two :p, could we not replace one :p with a new emoticon? Something to imply that the user is being sarcastic, with maybe one raised eyebrow, rather than the :rolleyes: one which is more condescending than sarcastic.

    (I've never understood the two :p anyway - could anybody explain it to me please? :p:p)

    Boards could do with a few more alright as long as they dont to the other extreme and have hundreds of those all singing all dancing ones.

    We need less emoticons, not more. One thing I really hate about other forums are their over reliance on singing, dancing, rolling, laughing, jumping, farting, vomiting, f*cking emoticons.

    What are people, 12?

    no.

    Lazy.


    and besides, sometimes no amount of 'discussion' will resolve or explain an issue.


    :cool:

    Upper and lower case 'p's both get converted to the picture.

    If you're in any way serious about it, Feedback is where you want to go. I often wondered about the two :p thing. I'm no fan of the rolleyes one, as it is too often used in replacement for a good argument. Incidently, any argument you hold against it gets the usual rolleyes reply. Moronic.


    Replace the second :p with a one raised eyebrow maybe :)

    Fair enough if it was just the case that you could make a :p in two different ways. But why still have two :p options to click on at the right-hand side of each message. Sure, they both are the same.

    Can I have a 'why am I bothering to post this face'?

    Or you could ... just not post?


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    The 2 :P is so that you can use both : P and : p

    sure, i'd be happy enough for this to be put in that forum.

    thing is, I'm really suggesting more emoticons not only for rudeness sake, although that is quite a good reason, but also for brevity, colour and variety.

    the alternative would be taking up an interesting hobby / life, and lord knows that wouldnt do.



    (damn it, no appropriate emoticon)
