I was wondering if it would be possible to add new smilies to the forums.  There are so many nice ones out there.  What do you guys think?:nod:

Admins can do it. But there are 38 already, that's a lot.

Well, wouldn't it be nice to have some other nifty smilies, so instead of using the same ones over and over again, we can have a wide variety.:p  And besides, you can never have enough smilies

If you really need a custom smiley then just image link it from its source. 38 smileys is quite enough to convey whatever you mean.

I think there are enough... and having many nod and grin smilies wouldn't be good, in my opinion. Maybe some different smilies, though, but I doubt that if admins add more smilies if they aren't really needed, or something like that... :blah:

<-- that one might be good though, and the vomit one, though that was not at an0n's page... :D

One day you guys are going to notice how suddenly there's a lot less.... ;)

Or at least the big ones removed.

Big ones? Nooo! Not the headz smilie! or :doh:!
 
Bump, wakka and snipe don't matter that much, but they're used sometimes, except bump not much. :)

I sure don't, but other people tend to. And some people abuse them in the most annoying manner.

They just can't take :D away, that one is needed. Because it's cool. And of course ;7, that's a good one too. Oh, the heck with it! Keep them all up.

Personally i dont like the standard sarcasm smilie, ie :rolleyes: .  To me it says more "oh, not again!" or something like that.

Personally i use italics for sarcasm.  I just like italics.
And i dont really find much use for  :sniper:, or as much as we all love it, :headz:.
I dont like big smiles.  These two are my faves, they say so much... :doubt: :sigh:
