How about new smilies?
 

There's so many smilies in different forums that can say so many things, I was wondering what the procedure was for nominating new smiles? I know a lot of forum sites have similar ones, some more than others, and some more topic-dependant than others, and I'm sure all of them "borrow" from one another freely, so here's my nominations, mostly from off-topic.net:

There's others there that are funny/x-rated/just plain evil :) but you get the idea.. what do you think?

(if there's been a smiley thread before, sorry for the repost)

Those are cool, but DVDTalk already has plenty of good smiles http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/misc.ph...on=showsmilies the most I've seen on any forums. Some people who want to express an emotion will find their own way to do so such as post an image. I know Buford T. has psoted some funny ones.

Meanwhile... :wave:

I personally think all of the existing smiles should be changed to this one:

:drool:

Well, since the topic is open:

I'd like to see a crying smilie.

And a chinscratch smilie (as in "Hmmm..." from the Dell Twerp).

I disagree. With a crying smilie, we'd have an alternative to those big crying baby pictures, and frankly those are the best parts of some threads around here. :)

If we're getting partisan: http://www.blah3.com/money.html

See my point? This thread's value has increased dramatically with not one, but two crybaby pics. :D

Yeah, but you gotta consider the bandwidth.




Besides, I kin never find one of those when I need one.

The picture was the intent, not the surrounding words ...

:)

Hmmm, you might be right, das.
