    Oh dear - animated ones are an eyesore. If you want more, get creative with ascii ones. My own favourite is the cthulicon: :€

    Meh its just the same Simu with the good ould ascii ones.

    This has be been proposed before and has been rejected every time! I think the amount of smileys we have at the moment is adequate.

    Animated ones like you see on alot of other forums are a real pain in the ass and make the whole place look cheap.

    Sure if you want to use extra ones, just use smiley packages from the net! It's better to put forward your point through text than having a smiley for every emotion like plenty of other forums do...

    I say nay

    Classic :)

    And to show I had a good laugh, where's that emoticon that hits himself over the head with a mallet to show that he's laughing hard? Or was that the "I'm special" emoticon?

    oh sweet jebus NO
    I hate them with a vengence and the thought of having to see pages of bouncing animated faces makes my eyes bleed

    why not just write down what you want to express, a million animated faces instead of text is the mark of a lazy mind

    Anyone who needs to be told is probably safer not knowing; prepare for a deluge of animated smilies.

    Arent you missing something obvious in your hurry to post irrelevancies on every feedback thread? You're a subscriber.

    and please god no more official smileys.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭rsynnott


    You're a subscriber.

    Do they? I actually like the lack of abritrary avatar selection; it means that I am free to use a rather disturbingly cute killer alien (and before that, a Far Side duck) without being unoriginal. There's enough choice that you can get away with usually being about the only user of a given avatar; I don't think anyone else is using this Zim pose, for example. (The other one has a few users).


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭Shabadu


    Fobia, the Models Forum mod, known as quetzal on irc uses that Zim avatar too.

    Animated smileys are a bad, bad thing. Cloud skin has a couple of animated smileys. Hate them. I've got the 'rolleyes' one adblocked it's so annoying.

    Ah now, there are a few exceptions.

    Señor perv: naughty.gif

    and the Happy banana: banana.sml.gif

    The rolleyes smiley in Cloud skin makes me want to kill. Especially when people decide to use 7 in a row to drive their point home: "BTW, I was being sarcastic!"
