Title: Smilies.
Post by: Stunaep on November 07, 2002, 11:08:10 am: *sigh* yet another good smilie has been removed. Now we've lost the :v: smilie. Not to mention the uber-smilies that were :headz: and :snipe:. Is there any way, to make you admins bring those back, along with some more used ones, such as the Happy Birthday smilie. Please?

Post by: ZylonBane on November 07, 2002, 11:14:22 am: Feh, huge animated smilies are annoying. As it is, they seem to have all the emotional bases covered. Although they are missing an angel smiley to balance out this guy :devil:.

Post by: Shrike on November 07, 2002, 11:22:16 am: How often did the :v: smillie get used? Not very. I realized that :ick had gotten lost in the shuffle. And :ick is so much more useful.......... :devil:

Post by: Black Wolf on November 07, 2002, 11:42:29 am: I am continuing my sig based quiet protest and urge others to do the same. Maybe if Shrike (as as far as I can tell, he's the main culprit) sees how many people want them back, he'll put them back.

See, that's the right idea.

Although I see the comment about the mad smillie, that was an accident. I didn't notice till now it didn't have the curse words. I'll fix that when I get home.

So, I should link to :wakka:, :v: or :headz: every time I want to use them? Have you got any idea, how frequently I want to use those three!?

I thought that was an altogether useless smilie. Plus the Vasudans in it looked more like Donkey Kong.

I wouldn't mind having (http://www.pcpages.com/laughlady/smilies/sm116.gif) instead of :yes: though. The latter lacks character.

I considered photophopping and defacing that image, but nothing I could do to it would make it any worse.

Oh, and by the way: ;) and :wink: are two different smilies. One is ; ) and the other is : wink : . You could put the :V: back, or replace it with an angel.

Remember back in the old days, there was a link in the smilie box that let you open another window with ALL the smilies in it? Can't you switch back to that and keep the tidy layout of the table as it is now?

:yes: And change back the smilies changed in the last edit ( "; )", ": D", ": o", ": mad:", ": cool:"). They contrast far too much against this black background.

Post by: beatspete on November 10, 2002, 02:46:19 pm: Yeah... probably.

Idea for smilie: smilie trashes monitor again, but instead gets drowned by wave of liquid crystal from the flatscreen.

I did that to an old 14" monitor. Damn thing hit bottom (a good 10ft drop) and the tube didn't even explode! :D Although I guarantee that the plastic was either shattered or cracked all over from the impact. I was tempted to go down and break the glass on the tube, but I had to take care of other things and didn't have enough time to climb in and out of that smelly thing.
