sig sizes and having animated sigs.

You do realise that your sig is breaking the rules at the moment

I do realise it's advertising a boards event...so imo, as with the Santa strike force, i dont reckon the normal sig rules apply.

Oh and it's annoying McClane which is a good thing too

EDIT: actually, those smilies took ages on my 56k dialup...

down with this sort of crap

try using words to get your point across people,
only a teenager needs that amount of smileys

That's what happens when you don't delete anything... EVER.

Here's a random picture in there from 2002:


Name the oldskoolers?

Also, here's a newspaper article from around the same time about the "new" all night gaming "craze" in Internet cafés

[Edit] and considering the current hype about the Queer Beers & Paintball, here's an old ad made for - possibly - a GLB Paintball event... though possibly the GLB reference was just for effect at the time...

All I really want is a smiley in Cloud skin that looks sad rather than cross.



A plethora of animated smilies would be more than a tad irritating. If there is one you really love, bookmark it. Several people use Señor perv frequently.

A little smiley doesn't take much space. Whatever bandwith people are using to look at Boards is the same as they use to look anywhere else. If we are using smileys, it is usually only one or two, if any at all. My posts were just demonstrating what is available. Whether people want to use them or not, is up to them, but we should at least have the option. Lighten up.

They can also be used very cleverly like this, which I did on another board, encouraging someone to go to a match. It is just a snapshot, so it loses some of the effect of the moving ones, but you get the idea:

Yeah, I get emails like that in work all the time, non stop stream of smilies.

USE YOUR WORDS.

Boards.ie may well end up being one of the last online havens where people speak English instead of a combination of pictures and textspeak.

I seriously doubt I would ever take the time out to decipher such a message.

WOOHOO!!

We should be able to put graphics and pictures into After Hours, like we can in most of the other forums.
