Smilies

[Tundra]

What smilies do you definitely want me to keep. That aren't the basic ones I mean. They'll definitely stay.

:bash: 8)

Those two are the only ones outside the main box I'd ever use.

[cat_lover_4113]

:laughing3:

:hello1:

:crybaby:

:laughing5:

These are the ones I would use.

And that devil one that looks angry like :twisted: .

[AXJ]

Aside from the ones in the main box, only these:

:roll: :kiss: :sleepy1: :bash:

I would consider adding these:

All of those are useful (ie, non-novelty) smileys that can actually get a lot of good use.

[Tundra]

I've deleted all the mage/ogre/demon ones.

[Hippie]

That's cool. :D

[AXJ]

That's a good start! :violent2:

[Tundra]

Any others you hate? Or any way I could possibly reorder them to help?

[TwistedFirestarter]

Never seen these used.

:kermit::naka::glasses6::tongue2::iroc::blob6:
:band::brilsmurf::smurf::hal:father::violent2:
:sign1::blob:

And we have duplicates ::

:newb:
:sign2:

[AXJ]

These all seem ugly, useless, or annoying:

:glasses8: :colors: :brushteeth: :occasion1: :dark1: :toothy4: :glasses7: :clown: :hippy2: :mumum: :usa2: :happy6: :cya:
:toothy3: :glasses6: :confused2: :cherry: :laughing2: :protest: :tard: :tongue2: :alien: :tweety::sad9: :glasses5: :cheese: :angel13: :naka: :tongue1: :help: :male: :angry8: :tshirt: :happy4: :sad8: :toothy1: :computer: :glasses4: :kermit: :occasion9: :lurk: :triplets: :happy3: :geek: :love1: :glasses3: :iroc: :occasion8: :guitar: :lovestory: :hmph: :happy2: :flower: :sad6: :tongue9: :band: :brilsmurf: :smurf: :occasion7: :smilebox: :headbang: :pukeright: :hal :angry5: :toothy9: :father::faroah: :sad5: :coffee: :sleepy6: :director2: :glasses11: :cyclopsani: :argue: :clock::fish: :Jedi: :blackeye: :shaking::offtheair::walk: :glasses10::female: :icescream: :violent3: :happy9: :toothy6: :homework:

----
in additon to the duplicates twistie mentioned,

You've got three of these: :anger: (;anger; , ;angryfire; and ;flaming; )

You've got six different sunglasses smileys: :glasses8: 8) :glasses7: :glasses2: :glasses1: :cool:

You've got three spams :sign4: :spam1: :spam2: ( ;sign4; ;spam1; and ;spam2: )

You've got eight different bouncing blobs:
:blob8: :blob7: :blob6: :blob5: :blob4: :blob3: :blob2: :blob:
(I'd say at most you need only one of those, but I can't recall anyone ever using one at all on NiH)

You've got three of these: :cwm10: ( ;cwm10; and ;angry2; ;angry3; ) one that's pretty close: :disgust: ( ;disgust; ), and a shaking version: :angry7: ( ;angry7; )I can't recall any of them being used on NiH.

Honestly? I'd recommend deleting ALL of the current ones except the ones in the main box and the suggestions people have thrown out here.

[mcnicks]

If I had my way I'd get rid of all of them. The whole point of smilies, I always thought, was being inventive with ASCII characters ...

[spying clown]


Oh, ascii smileys, how I missed you...

[AXJ]

Bump? :|

[Tundra]

... um, I was away. :P

[AXJ]

Yay, yer back now! :snorting:

Bump.

:p

[butterfly]

I don't think it's a good idea to delete the occasion/birthday ones:occasion1::occasion9::greeting::occasion7::oc casion6:, because people do bring them out occasionally to cheer up birthday or party threads. I also personally would like to keep the guitar one:music:, if only because it's in my signature. And please don't delete the popcorn:happy1:.

[Dwiesel McAllister]

I used the spam once, but I think that was before I decided on Chicken Fettucine for my Newbie offering.

I make sprites sometimes, if anyone would like to add those. They're all characters from my book, though, so they might be too specific. I do have a couple of flutists, though, some ballerinas, and an opera singer, if anyone thinks we could use them.

[AXJ]

One month bump. :p

I love this little guy :)

[AXJ]

Three month bump. :|

[MichaelB]

The smilies I still think we should definitely get rid of:

:tongue4::colors::brushteeth::dark1::angel13::toot hy4::hippy2::mumum::toothy3::happy6::glasses6::nak a::sad9::toothy2::angel11::alien::tweety::happy5:: pottytrain2::tongue1::glasses5::sign9::tshirt::due l::duckie::kermit::glasses4::spam2::computer::lurk ::love1::triplets::iroc::blob6::lovestory::band::p uke::sign5::director::father::tongue8::faroah::wav ::love9::director2::Jedi::clock::glasses11::walk:: love8::sword::violent3::love7::sign2::edfirst::pro fileleft::homework::violent2::blob::newb::sign1:

Also, we've got about 6 renditions of the 'angel smiley' with variations.

[Tundra]

I think you'll find it a little better now.

[AXJ]

Much better!! Thank you!!!

Two small nitpicks:

You've still got two of this guy: :anger:

...and three of this guy. :banghead:

[KeinesV]

sweet. we have/had a HAL 9000 smiley. "Hello, Dave" except thats pretty useless, except when a dave joins. "I can't allow you to do that, Dave" or even better, simply "I can't allow you to do that..." :P seems like its has a variety of uses.

[Tundra]

Should be better again now.

[AXJ]

Is it too early to begin begging for further reduction of duplicates again? These are all on the smiley menu multiple times:

:???: x2
:) x3
:| x2
:grin: x3
:eek: x3
:wink: x3
:cool: x2 + :glasses8:,:glasses10:, :glasses2:, and :glasses7:1
:x x2
:p x2
:guitar: x2
:cwm10: x3

Pretty please? This hurts of over-organized soul. :|

[Tundra]

Sorry this is taking so long, but I have to go through the whole list and delete individually then it takes me back to the list and I have to look through again for the next one.
