Re: Pacman Smiley

Dear Admin,
Could we please have our pacman smiley back. It was good for expressing... emotions and also good to use for the letter E!

If the pacman smiley is gone any longer, people will just start using their big ones in place of it, therefore pissing off the boards.ie staff.

So, what do you say?
I have enclosed a piece of paper that says PLEASE on it 267 times.

Yours faithfully,
Timbuk2

I'd go for the old "Star Trek Militant Campaign myself" Seriously you don't want to mess with the Mods or Admins. They have powers and are truly not to be messed with. They once made me cry :eek: and then smodded me. Heck I'd settle for enabling imaging in After Hours then we could serve ourselves to whatever sort of silliness we want!

Frankly, the Pacman smiley was phenominally usefull, and I for one loved it. Even moreso than the brief time that we had the Viking smiley that I convinced regi to impliment. Those were good times.

I like that there are only a select few smilies, they cover most expressions in a round-about way. I hate those forums with dozens of little smilies, stupid animated ones ect...

Sniffle indeed.

I loved that little Viking smiley too, but the loss of the pacman smiley just makes things all the worse. It is a sad day in smiley town. Infact, the mayor has just petitioned that the name be changed to frowney town for the time-being.

we don't have a lot of time. We spend what time we have on keeping the lights on and dealing with important issues as much as we can. Whinges, moans, moronic suggestions and useless blather don't get a response from us in general. We figure if we don't respond, the message gets delivered anyway.

And I spend about 2 hours a day on Feedback generally.

I can only hope your hangover isn't a permanent one. Because that would be painful for all concerned.
