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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

We SOOOO NEED this smiley.



While lolsign is good, this one is better.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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

FELIPE NO

: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!

How ya doing, buddy?

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 >=(

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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 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?

FELIPE NO

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.

Getting rid of Shin would result in Welcome Welcome becoming as inactive as MW. Such a win-win situation there.

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 ya doing, buddy?

How selfless of you to go on a campain to prevent people from looking stupid. I'm sure the resident tards will be thankful.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The only one I want right now is :sick: ... what happened to it?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I removed it in relation to that thread Aardark made.

No, it isn't coming back.

Making someone who uses it look like an idiot is no grounds for removing a feature. If it was, your avatar would have been disposed of a long time ago.

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?

And you guys made this kid a mod? Holy shit. He's made for Microsoft's Window, that's for sure.

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Does vB have some sort of built-in limit on how many smilies can be installed?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
