Exactly. I can't think of a non-insulting use for (and I've never used it non-insultingly... and I have used it elsewhere ).

A response to puns?

Now, if people want to be insulting, they have to work at it!

Its not really that much more work.

I can't wait for the April Fools where the mods make every combination of two characters a different smiley...

We need a "This Threat is Worthless Without Pics" smilie(s).

 

[Nifft]

Could we make a grandma-friendly smiley which expresses all the nuance and subtlety of the phrase "Elf Porn"?

Because I see a great need...

"Elves don't chafe, they glide!"

Don't expect a vast influx!

I understand some admins don't like the smilies, and that we are all guests in Morrus' home, etc etc - however, smilies are something which are quite prevalent on message boards nowadays, and it's be nice if we could get at least a few more for EN World.

What about a nerdy smilie, with glasses? I'd see that as being reasonably popular. Could we get one of those? Please? I'd love it!

Well, you know how in feats and class abilities, anythign that "can't be done without" is probably broken? Same for a nerdy smilie.

I mean, come on, this is a RPG discussion board. We're nerd central! Every single post would call for the thing. Might as well just assume it is there, and move on...

It is often hard to convey feelings about things over the net. Smileys can make this easier, but they also make it harder for one to actually write what you think if you become too used to them. While I might be a heavy user of and I still have to say that the only really useful smiley in existance is because sarcasm and attempts at witticims are the hardest things to write and easiest to misread. is the cream filling while the others are just the cherry on top of the cake.

Maybe I stand alone on this, but I don't understand why you need a special code to turn a smiley into a graphic. I mean, wasn't the original point of smileys that you were using normal text to draw a picture? If the text already looks like a graphic, why do we need the graphic? If the text doesn't look like a graphic, how is it a smiley? "Cool" should be B) . "Mad" should be >:-( . Using the :text: thing seems to defeat the entire purpose.

Now, if we were to add more smileys, I would want to start with:

!(

It means "By your command."
