Suggestion: ChocoRemoveTheFuckingUnusedSmileys

:ninja: :doggy: :lolsign: :biggrin: :eyebrow: :1zhelp: :argue: :iamwithstupid: :sneaky: :dopey_love: :asthanos: :borg: :aargh:

Want to save bandwidth? Hey here's an awesome idea. Remove these disgustingly lame smilies so they're no longer ruining the boards. These are hardly ever used, or they're used by Mush/newbies/Aard.

And oh my god I didn't even know existed. That is just fucking scary, guys. Seriously I never see these used by anyone who isn't an uninformed dumbass. You could replace them with at least half decent ones (like pom's) and save a bunch of time. The rest are okay, I guess. It kinda sucks how Acer is the only one who can make usable smilies here without them sucking ass. I don't know where the original set come from but it's pretty dry.

I also would like to nominate for a place in the garbagesmiley tree because the lack of depresses me.

We SOOOO NEED this smiley.



While lolsign is good, this one is better.

Huh, do I use a lot of smilies? I actually made a thread like this in the moderator hut about a month ago.

Also, removing smilies wouldn't 'save bandwidth', but yeah, I agree that most of these are pretty lame and should be get rid of.

We could, but I don't know how I'd feel about blatantly copying the whole smiley list of Something Awful.

The god damn dog doesn't even run on my quicklist, how big a fail is that

A lot of people use some of those, especially :biggrin: and :lolsign:, so I'd argue we should just remove them because they're so crap.
Cept maybe because it's so friendly.

Yeah there's been plenty of times when I've felt the need to have an epileptic fit masturbating smiley in my posts!

That's actually a good smiley to express some kind of surprise/irony/sarcasm. I've already used it once. =O

Not to mention they seperate sentences which is annoying as hell.

:dopey_love: should stay, but replace it it : love :, for the love of everything sober and drunk. This makes sense, people. Scratch the rest of them, but keep :dopey_love:

I agree with this ten hundred percent!

: love : = :love: = craaaap.
: love : = :dopey_love: = not craaaap!

What is the big deal with all those smilies. You are not forced to use them for composing your posts, you know. And since we've already discovered that smilies are not wasting bandwidth (??), I don't really know why we should start removing them, hell, I'm all for adding more smilies. Smilies, smilies, smilies =D

(Is it smilies or smileys, btw?)

I don't use a lot of smilies, fyi, and being named together with 'newbs' isn't too awesome, either >=(

Getting rid of Elixir would save a whole lot more bandwidth then getting rid of the smileys. I like a lot of those smileys and as Mush said, nobody is forcing you to use them.

Say what you will, just don't get rid of the dog.

We should just import most of the SA smilie collection. They're way better than most of our collection and I wouldn't have to upload the ones I use to imageshack/socket anymore.

You'll have to pay me for each SA smilie, though.

Haha, that's actually quite a good idea. Let people upload their favorite smilies for money. Maybe that could help bobo running this server ^^

Oh, you mean exactly what SA does?

But Secret of Mana smilies are free, right?

We need a collection of them. :rabitechomp: :mushboom: and stuff like that.

I would like a total revamp of the smiliey set, with a review of each smiley. Most importantly, I recommend modifying the keywords for them to more accurately describe the situation they would be used in.

Replace with animated and I approve.
Though it's not like lurker and I haven't already rallied for rabite smilies for ages now.
