Suggestion: ChocoRemoveTheFuckingUnusedSmileys
:ninja: :doggy: :lolsign: :biggrin: :eyebrow: :savepoint: :1zhelp: :argue: :iamwithstupid: :sneaky::beer: :alcoholic::dopey_love: :asthanos: :guitarist: :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 :naughty: 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 http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/930/gonk2kc.gif for a place in the garbagesmiley tree because the lack of http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/930/gonk2kc.gif depresses me. |
We SOOOO NEED this smiley.

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

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 :beer: because it's so friendly. |

: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:

: 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.

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 http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5750/emot10bux5uk.gif for each SA smilie, though. |

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

The "saving bandwidth" thing was just an excuse. It's not going to save bandwidth, but half of the ones I listed either aren't used appropriately, make one look stupid, or turn the sentence into malformed rubbish. Give me one instance where :ninja: fits into a sentence and doesn't make you look like a tard. Oh wait, upon preview it appears as if this one also stretched the sentence. Perfect. But yeah, I'm all for Secret of Mana smilies. The animated ones, of course. You really can't go wrong with rabites. Edit: God, this post looks terrible. This is what I'm talking about. If anyone's going to try and attempt to get their point across, sticking something such that ninja, the gigantic grin tard, and the lolsign in their posts, it just ruins the entire effect. If they're not needed, it won't hurt to replace them. |
How selfless of you to go on a campain to prevent people from looking stupid. I'm sure the resident tards will be thankful. :beer:
|
The only one I want right now is :sick: ... what happened to it?
|
I removed it in relation to that thread Aardark made.
No, it isn't coming back. |

Your argument here, like the vast majority of your posts, is baseless and pointless and generally a waste of space. How about instead of wasting your effort on a non-cause like this, you spend a bit of time working out how you can stop being such a pathetic little cock-smoker who lessens Gamingforce as a whole by his very presence here? :biggrin: |

Attacking someone's avatar, and posting etiquette is not a very intelligent way to ignore the matter at hand. Perhaps if you actually took into consideration that these smilies are rarely ever used at all, are ugly as fuck, and aren't appropriate, then maybe others can consider to remove them and replace them with something that people will actually use. Search the forums and find out how many times the lolsign, ninja and other garbage smilies have been used, and who they've been used by. My argument here, like the vast majority of my posts, isn't even an argument. This is a support forum for suggestions. But you'll manage to be perfectly able to bring something irrelevant to the situation up, in a way to differ the original intentions presented here. This is not about my avatar, my posting style, or how I'm meant to "present" myself to you. I am not here for your benefit, you fucking faggot. The majority of these smilies can be replaced easily with others which will be more appropriate and usable on the forums. They don't all need to be original material and made by gamingforce members, but they don't have to suck which is what we currently have. But way to go with attacking me for making a suggestion. |
Does vB have some sort of built-in limit on how many smilies can be installed?

What's up, Elixir? First you call anyone who uses certain smilies an ''uninformed dumbass'', then you get all pissy when Shin retaliates, call him a ''fucking faggot'' who shouldn't be a mod, and then complain that people shouldn't be attacking you.
I'm not necessarily against, uh, aggressive posting, but try to be more civil and reasonable, huh? You could've easily done without the sweeping generalizations in your initial post, and all this wouldn't even be a problem. |
I'm lead to believe these smilies are outdated and are in need of a replacement, ok. It was only a suggestion.
I didn't intentionally shove you two next to "newbies" meaning to cause ill feeling - but you're the only two who aren't new who I've seen use them before. How is the ninja smiley relevant to.. what? Let's be a ninja, k? Most of those kinds of smilies I almost never see used by regulars, mostly people without avatar/signature combos with low posts use them. Not that those people are irrelevant, per se, but lolsign is sort of ugly. Hell, I think someone even stuck about 20 of them in their signature. Whatever happened to that guy? Shin's stab was uncalled for, so I retorted accordingly. Basically, if we can't exchange the current smilies, or if we can't show worthwhile smilies (like VG tried to do) this thread won't go anywhere. But like I said, most of them are pretty outdated although :cow: is still awesome. I fully support the likes of :mushboom: and :rabite: coming into the crowd, unless there's a limit on smilies and in that case some will need to go. It might seem irrelevant but since bobo has been adding bits and pieces here and there to the forums, maybe this can be scheduled in the pipeline. |
Haha, the :donkey: one is great.

"Still" don't read threads? That's inaccurate since this is an internet forum and I've been informed we use it for reading and writing. And I don't recall trolling in MW recently. In fact I don't recall visiting MW in the past couple of weeks. It's dead in there. I'm sure you can relate. Besiiiiides, I have much better things to do. Like, for instance, watch people attack me in a suggestion thread in a support forum! I'm really loving this. But most of those smilies Roph posted are pretty neat, I totally forgot about ones like http://slyph.org/bouncies/smileys/pom.gif and the rack of bouncing consoles. Which aren't necessarily needed but they're still a big step up from what we have. |

The bouncing consoles (plus bouncing Kitkat) should be added pronto. Spoiler:

There's absilutely nothing to stop you from hosting all the smilies you want somewhere and using them in your posts. Hell, maybe if you start spraying cool and awesome smileys every where, other folk will be inspired to use those instead of the apparently shitty ones we have here. Lead by example. Let your posts be a shining beacon of tasteful smiley use in an otherwise foggy forum. Use the massive weight of your popularity and influence here to lead other misguided 'tards out of the darkness of poor smiley usage. You could be the smiley Moses, come to lead the retarded Israelites out of bad smiley Egypt. Or even better, you could be the smiley Messiah and sacrifice yourself so that others might have decent smileys. Seriously child, nobody forces you to use smileys you don't like. Personally, I think most people's sigs here are eyesores so I turned them off. They don't bother me, I don't bother them and everyone's happy. Rather than getting upset when the poor misguided retards and noobs of GFF use offensive smileys, just be happy and smug in your own superiority and smiley taste. Maybe offer some helpful aesthetic advice in your replying post or send them a friendly PM but there's just no need for righteous crusading as in your opening post. Now run along and play, there's a good potion. |
Hey there. +1 for originality, here's a sticker. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1...umbl4264fp.jpg
There's absolutely nothing stopping you from denying what I've said without resorting to attacking. I could always begin hosting smilies and using them, but that defeats the entire purpose of there being a smiley column in the advanced reply section of the forum. There are no "offensive" smilies here, just ones which make the poster look like a tard. They clutter up the ends of sentences and most people don't even bother with them, unless they're new or unless they're relating to sarcasm. I didn't make a suggestion in board support to argue over it. That's about as intelligent as voting for something and then arguing over why you've voted. It's not the point in the first place. It isn't even hard, all you need to do is replace the unused smilies with the one's Roph has posted. Quote:
I'm going to close this now! Why? Because I'm not here to argue. You'll reply, then some others will reply, then Mard/Aush will reply, then I'll reply, then it'll get split to the sewers. Suggestion potential → nowhere. And the admins have already read this thread so it's not like this was a complete failure. Bobo reads threads, right? lolsign Sorry for the huge disappointment but it was only a suggestion in the first place. |
