Title: I think we now have too many emoticons.
Post by: I_have_purplewood on January 07, 2009, 05:33:04 PM
I realize that this might be a sticky subject but someone has to do it.  I also realize that many hours of hard work are put into the making of these and it's nothing against the "maker".  It's just consuming more time than I think necessary to filter thru these to find the right one.  I figure that since my time and is somewhat valuable  :lol: (ftp://:lol:)and I'm kind of an authority on good emoticon placement :blindfold: (ftp://:blindfold:), I'd be the one to nominate the following for deletion;

 :drool: (ftp://:drool:)excited works here.
 :cheesy: (ftp://:cheesy:) never seen it used.
 :censor: (ftp://:censor:) kind of dumb
 :baring: :cry: :zipped: :nerd: :secret: :star: :grin: :stickout: (ftp://:baring: :cry: :zipped: :nerd: :secret: :star: :grin: :stickout:) wipe out this section totally.
 :lolrun: (ftp://:lolrun:) blue? really?
 :lightsaber: :sport028: :lightsaberfight: (ftp://:lightsaber: :sport028: :lightsaberfight:) have never been a fan.
 :war: (ftp://:war:)
 :poinsettia: (ftp://:poinsettia:) self explanatory.
 :Pool: (ftp://:Pool:)takes to much room.

I can add to this list but will wait to see if I get lambasted for wanting to delete these.

As long as we keep oh noes and get one of a dude grasping at straws for those D-bags who keep claiming Obama isn't a citizen, I'm fine with whatever.

They just look too modern, or at least like they're attempting to be modern, and this is what makes them ghey and insufferable.  The best ones are the ones that look archaic, like the pixillated head flushing down the toilet.  Windows 98-era stuff.

when the hell did this one get added?  --->   :poinsettia:  it's awesome


also, never enough emoticons.  when properly used, anyone of them can/could be outstanding.  I have no idea when I'll use this one:   :juggle:  but I will, and it will be glorious.

Why is the mjrod one ( :angryMJ: ) the only one that doesn't have a name that pops up on a mouseover?

Az,

There is a field called tooltip.  When the Admin uploads the emoticon, they can populate that field.  If they don't then it is blank.  I modified that emoticon so it now has a name...

Also my fav is:   :cyclist:

While beautiful, it just needs to go away for about 10 months.

I didn't put these on my original list but they kind of creep me out;

 :swinglegs: :wink: :jacko: (ftp://:swinglegs: :wink: :jacko:)

 :dunno: (ftp://:dunno:) Should be moved to first page option.

 :whistle1: (ftp://:whistle1:) This is my new favorite although it just took me two minutes to find it and I had three siezures while looking.

It's been there for two years.  Also, thank you for helping me with my point.  Kind of sad some of these aren't getting the proper recognition they so rightly deserve. :whistle1: (ftp://:whistle1:)
