I didn't mean it like that, Jason. I save them to my computer and [IMG] host them as I need. I posted the link for others to have a variety of personal use smileys as I do.



Like I said before, It's no biggie for me if we add a new smiley. The only one I would vote for is the but again, going back to my last statment it's not a big deal for me.

Are they expensive to add?? Or it would just take up too much space on the server if no one used them? -Just curious.

Yeah, I know...but that is just a crazy huge list of smilies. Quite overdone. I mean...is even a majority of those useful?

Nah, it is no big deal to add them, but the idea of a smiley is to add to a conversation, not be the conversation. I like to think of this site as something that is somewhat serious and technical in nature for the most part, and doesn't need to be loaded with dorky animations making it look like a kid's site. Hope this comes off right.

we could use this one when someone post all the damn political threads that are poping up. Or i would use it every time someone post a new thread on the same thing even tho there are 20 threads about it on the first page of the lounge.

For that situation, you hit the report button, and then a moderator hits the infraction button.

Only by those who do things to make themselves unwelcome. And in which case, why should someone who volunteers their time and effort give a crap what someone who is there for selfish reasons thinks of them?

But I digress...

Some smileys are cool. I'll add some more soon. Keep the suggestions coming.

I like these ones . They're both of "friendly" nature (yeah, yeah, I know I'm a Canadian! ) but "cheers" has always been a friendly closer to a post, and the driving one is kind of fun.

But hey, that's all IMO :cheers:.

Oops!
