Smilies

Ok i use alot of boards alot while being endlessly bored in work and ive always meant to bring this up but never really got around to it :rolleyes:

this board could do with better smilies, more animated ones preferably, one of the best boards for smilies has to be here -->

http://forums.wireplay.co.uk/misc.php3?s=&action=showsmilies

something like that would be alot nicer no? apart from the dull non-animated ones here

, the embarrasment smilie also looks more like yawning than it does embarresed

just an idea, that and im bored

No.

Seriously I hate animated smilies! I can't think what message a dancing banana would help me get across.

I dont feel the urgent need to include a Dalek smiley in polite conversation...

GoneShootin · 13-12-2002 8:50pm

the above would suit many people Id imagine [im lookin at you Admin]

STaN's new sig

but ani smilies are teh looz tbh

leeroybrown · 13-12-2002 8:51pm

Animated smilies are annoying!

Also the boards smilies were actually changed by Cloud a few months ago and the current ones where brought back by popular demand.

I like the current ones the way they are and if you need flashy crap smilies to liven up your posts ....

Big Chief · 14-12-2002 11:08pm

i didnt mean use every one of em

you'd be surprised when that cheering banana comes in handy

anyway was just a thought, animated smilies are sometimes better imo. But i guess that isnt the opinion of you folks

SantaHoe · 19-12-2002 9:10pm

Ah no, I think they're hilarious tbh
I routenly find the need to use a giant 800x600 dancing monkey to properly express my joy.

Me too. I even printed the monkey out and often produce it after some of my chums crack off a particularly funny jibe.

You've all gone bananas. Hey hang on... I can sum this up by one emoticon.

Do i want to know (the musical stage version of Star Wars)

Gordon · 20-12-2002 3:33pm

I think I'm having a convulsive fit right now. I am foaming at the mouth - is this normal? My legs are spasmodically jerking and my tongue keeps falling out of my mouth preceded by a verbal noise sounding like "nik... nik".

Do you think I have rabies or do you think I have an allergic reaction to animated smilies?

Looks like the common reaction people get anytime Victor posts tbh.

Out of that entire page (~150 ani gifs) only :spin:, :spinny:, :wub:, :angel:, :b0rg: and :elmo: are worth using

O_o!

mike65 · 20-12-2002 6:20pm

I agree with the thread starter, this forum could usefully
add a few more smilies I'd really like ones for "Oops!" and "frustrated" I think they'd get plenty of use.

From me if no-one else!

SantaHoe · 21-12-2002 4:41am

How come there's no :quiet despair: or :melancholic self pitty:?
Oh, and what about an animated bum you can use when you're talking through your @rse?

*I'm full of good ideas tonight.*
Hmmm, a self-congratulatory emote-icon maybe?

Kenshin · 21-12-2002 1:36pm

A friend of mine runs http://www.planetsmilies.com which has 3000+ smilies and avatars

I think animated anything is bad for boards!

Its all right for those of us with broad band, or having the net in work on a fast connection but for the rest of poor Ireland, the majority are still using dial up, and the last thing they need are pages that take longer to download and anoythem trying to read boards!

Asuka · 31-12-2002 9:13pm

swiss · 01-01-2003 1:29am

I agree, no point bickering and fighting over animated smilies tbh.

I mean, is there any point to them at all?

So to conclude, let's end this sad affair...

before this jumps out of all proportion

Pepe LeFrits · 19-01-2003 3:02pm

The current raz/tongue smiley (:p) sucks ass. It needs to be changed.

So does the

smiley. It used to look like a really happy smiley, now it looks more like a retarded bogger "ARRRR LOIKE DATS FUNNY!!!" grin.

Gordon · 19-01-2003 3:08pm

Ye, I hate that sticky out tongue guy. Don't mind the

guy though.

Sangre · 19-01-2003 11:11pm

Yeah with the

it never feels like a real could raz, usually I have to resort to :P

He looks too happy in it, he should look annoyed

I like the
