I find the selection of emoticons on boards quite lacking.

Its basically anyone who's every used this guy: :rolleyes:

The solution to all of your problems is the Jeremy Paxman smiley.

It's definitely better than any of your suggestions.

If theres one suggestion for the emotions its the removal of that rolleyes. Its used for nearly every condescending "Im better than you" crap attack seen so often amongst the various heroes on Boards. It serves no positive purpose, it is only a tool by which people can avoid real discussion.

*waits for someone to quote above and reply with rolleyes*

No. Just no. It was removed,then the amount of effort to get it back was ridiculous. No removal of rolleyes. We aren't going through that again.

:rolleyes: should be replaced with Jeremy Paxman.

We all know which one is clearly better.

(See, Jeremy's face clearly shows how smug my previous sentence was.)

So your justification of keeping it is that it would be hypothetically hard to get back.

...or were you being sarcastic....hmmm...

I agree with both the nececessarilitudiness of some form of celebratory smiley, and a non smug eh? smilie.

I DONT ever ever agree with animated emoticons. They're horrid.

Also I would share Thaed's fear of emoticons taking over:):( p:Po:osts.

So rolleyes can also symbolize sarcasm???

*looks about the world in wonder*

Seriously though, I never understood what half the people using rolleyes were trying to achieve. I always though it was just condensation. So its sarcasm....unless your trying to make me look stupid, in which you have been greatly successful

No I dont think so eoin, I usually respond to rolleyes in a sarcastic "please accept my apologies and forgive my insolence brave Internet hero" style post.

:rolleyes: sorry!

I think the rolleyes smiley is a smug little git but I do like using him in R&R.

The confused smiley is grand for a "What are you on about" post imo.

As long as I have :cool: I don't need anything else.
