I wanted to keep this separate from the 'New Smileys' thread...sorry for any redundancy but this makes it easier.

Do we need these smileys?

:)
:( since we have this one :bawl:
:evil: since we now have =:)
:twisted:
:!:
:idea:
:blackeye
:damnfunny (kinda cute)
:freak:
:Duck:

Also, do we need two of the same emoticons?

:doh1: :doh: ( I like both of them really)
:toast: :drunk: (like both as well)
:eh: :suspicious: (prefer second one)

:) no
:( no, because we have this one :bawl:
:evil: and :twisted: no, since we now have =:)
:!: no
:idea: no
:blackeye - I'd like to keep that
:damnfunny (kinda cute) - agree with you - is cute
:freak: no
:Duck: ahem... don't think so.

Also, do we need two of the same emoticons? I'd say no.

:doh1: :doh: ( I like both of them really) I like the lilac one better
:toast: :drunk: (like both as well) - well, the lefties drink beer and the others wine, don't they? ;)
:eh: :suspicious: (prefer second one) I'm with you here, I prefer the right one

Just my opinion. And we still need that :nyah, nyah: tongue-peeking smiley from TORC. (where is that halo when you need it?) :mrgreen:

I reckon we do need a :( smiley aswell as a :bawl: one because they show different levels of sadness ;).

But not :( particular one because I think it's ugly, and I am shallow and want it to be "pretty".

:P Now I found it.. thanks, Eru. Not quite the same as on TORC, but muuuuucho bettero than the one we had before.

You know, I didn't find it because the "more Emoticons" page takes so long loading (50 seconds :rage:) . .. I never had the patience before to wait for all of them. And there's Tristan, too... :Q

My attention span was always just short enough to get this one: :roll:

Erm, it is the TORC one areanor. ;) I also just added it today so that's why you wouldn't have found it before. It has the old smiley's code ( : P ) so it won't be hard to remember.

Ah, Eru, I meant the other TORC one.
the one that has its hands on its ears and wiggles them.....

It's in Ragnor's sig - I'll link it - a moment please.

Edited: Look here, the eight post or so (Look for the sig with Heath Ledger and Sean Bean... :mrgreen:)

I basically don't like the standard smileys that come with this board (they seem to be standard across all MBs I've seen) and like all the ones that have been added! :P :mrgreen:

Exceptions: :oops: I like the way this one blushes.

And this one speaks volumes :Q

I have a habit of using it in combination thusly :Q :shock: :Q when I'm really REALLY shocked. :mrgreen:

I also like :Q except it confuses me that the code for it on here is the same as :shock: on TORC, and vice versa.


Confusing bastards.

I much prefer :smile: to :)

I think that we need a "sad" smiley in addition to the one crying rivers (:bawl:) - sometimes something makes me sad, but not enough to cry. However, :neutral: looks the part, IMO, although it's supposed to be "neutral".

I prefer :doh1: to :doh:

:toast: is good for saying "cheers" as in "thumbs up" or "thank you", whereas :drunk: is much more clearly about getting legless. But we already have :cheers - so I'd say, if we have to get rid of one smiley, it would be this one --> :toast:

If I can figure ( or get someone's help) how to remove the white around the TORC smiley one, that one will be our normal smiley. But in the meantime since we need a smiling one, I thought we could choose between :) and :D. Whenever I get the other one fixed and uploaded, then we can get rid of the other one.

Anyone have a problem with the frowning face one we have now? :( I think he's good enough.

I see which one you were talking about areanor!

The frowning face is fine ... Eru, I think Paint Shop Pro and most other programs like Photoshop has a "optimizer" for .gif files that allows you to pick a transparent colour. I could run that smiley through that and send it to you again if you can't find it in your own application ...

I also think we don't need this --> :D , since we have :mrgreen: , :LMAO: and various other laughing/smiling emoticons.

And aren't :( and :cry: the same as :bawl: ? I reckon we can get rid of both of em.

:evil: don't like.....anyway, we have =:)
:twisted: also don't like
:!: sorta useless/pointless
:idea: never used....also a little pointless, i think
:blackeye: never used, but like it all the same.
:damnfunny: cute. please don't get rid of it ;)
:freak: er...never used. Just plain weird.
:Duck: this is cute too, though i've never really used it.

Two of the same emoticon:
:doh1: :doh: like purple one better.
:toast: :drunk: same as Nin- don't like the beer one.
:eh: :suspicious: Prefer second one.

:) this guy looks too smart which I find dumb.

:evil: :twisted: I never liked any one of those. Use sarcasm? Let your words do the job.

:!: :idea: poor guys lost their faces. Who uses them anyway?

:Wooper: Kill that bastard!

:clap: and that one!

:dragon: dragons dont exist! And its a pokemon too!

:o What's that oversized blood orange?

:freak: ugly!

:Duck: oversized!

:thewave: this looks like Sesame street's residents being expelled from their trash cans

:grouphug: not MY favourite Icon anyway!


And besides, maybe we should get rid of them all. After all, emoticons deminish the necessity to express oneself verbally, tghey tend to crowd, stick in dark places, and smell. Except those guys:

:toast: this one's for the joyous meeting with a cuppa.

:cheers this one's for truehobbit, who prefers wine.

:drunk: and this one's for those who post naked.

:) chuck it as soon as the nicer one works (the one Leoba's post - don't know how to make it)
:( -- :bawl: Actually, I prefer the yellow one. It looks more really sad. I'd only use the blue one for mock-sadness.
:evil: since we now have =:)
:twisted: get rid of the red-eyed ones, please!
:!: agreed
:idea: agreed
:blackeye it's the only violent smiley we have, I think, so I'd say let's keep it ;)
:damnfunny I like that one
:freak: agree to get rid of it
:Duck: agree

Also, do we need two of the same emoticons?

:doh1: :doh: they are both cute, but the first is a bit more like feeling stupid, the second might just as well indicate a headache, I think ;)
:toast: :drunk: can never have too much to drink ;) (in other words, I like them both)
:eh: :suspicious: prefer second one, too

Mummpizz, you may not like smilies, but here's :cheers to you! :mrgreen:

Oh, something else - some of the smilies are made with two colons, some need only one - could that be changed maybe? (Just if it's not too much work, of course, it's not that important.)
I usually try to remember the code for my favourite ones, because typing it is usually faster than loading the page, but this inconsistency is making them more difficult to remember. (My beloved wine-glass smiley with two colons comes out as :cheers: for example.)

If I change the colons then all the previously typed ones won't work anymore...so if everyone is okay with that I can change them. Personally I'd like them all to be the same and have two colons. Makes it easier.

I think I figured out how to do the optimizer thing Griff. I'll resubmit them and see if it works. *crosses fingers*

I'm not giving up my admin position until I get these smileys sorted! :P:P:P
