Emoticons in the Chatbox

much the same as GLG does his stupid waves and cheese spam

Offensive! 馬鹿！ I won't "spam" cheese in English anymore, now, I will do it the best way...Japanese! 僕輪大好き乾酪！ Also, my waves aren't stupid!

Now for my personal opinion on this. I don't think we should have these emoticons. Not to mention, in the end, WW has the final decision on what does and doesn't happen.

Technically, Chruser could fire me and hire Mantra.

What!? Mantra knows how to do this stuff or is that supposed to be taken as a joke. I am personally taking it as a joke.

Mantra is one of the more knowledgable guys around I thought.

Maybe he is. I don't know, sense most of his posts are nonsense.

Oh, he is. Very good at coding. He was making a hack for the forum at one point... don't know what happened with it, though.

Unfortunately, most of them are not pleasent for those who disable them: :killgrin: :haha: :grin: :cry: :mad: :eek: :weird: :rolleyes: :nerd: :cool: :confused:

What about the alternatives that chat programs use? For example, in MSN they might be:

:) --> = smile
;) --> = wink
>) --> = killgrin
:D --> = big grin
:( --> = sad
:@ --> = angry
:o --> = shocked
:|--> = weird
:p --> = amused
8) --> = rolleyes

None of :rolleyes: things that the forum uses, but rather two character things that won't look strange in text.

:haha:, :cry:, :nerd:, :cool:, and :confused: were just chosen because they are in colons, yes? You didn't even bother to look at the smilies I've suggested.

The question was about emoticons in general, not neccesarily your emoticons.

Have you considered the fact that the chatbox is real time? You don't get the opportunity to correct such blunders as:

East side HS (Class of 199
here's the biggest problem in the worldppression of the weak
Things I seein no particular order)
Directionown

and so forth.

I must admit. I think this is a pretty cool symbol.

I also think if we take the time to make a emote option we should also make one concerning avatars and sigs. There are some that I would like to block.

User CP|User Options|Thread Display Options|Visible Post Elements

Which would be the same granularity as the proposed option.

Doesn't that block all avatars and sigs though?
I am talking about just one guy. Just blocking one person. Not all.

I concur with Lenny, fuck the waves.

Yes, it does.
