I like the portal smilies better than the original smilies, it makes them more unique

Text smilies are so much better than the smiley icons. The latter always skews my emotions.

edit: but yeah portal smilies are better.

I really don't like emoticon. I think its because 99.9% of them are shitty. Just the text is enough for me.

The portal smilies don't show any emotion apart from Devil -> angry -> happy -> angel do they? Don't think they'll be very useful if that's the case.

try expressing your emotions through words

I can't do that, or else i'll end up saying things like
"one eye closed and one eye open, thus making a winky face"
yeah....uh....It'll be annoying. LOOL

Im not sure if Index is bothered by my use of ":>" all the time, but smilies are perfectly fine. As long as you're not being ridiculous with them.
Just be yourself. That's how everyone else is around here, heh

you know what smiley bugs me?
XD

why would you even want to express that? You're not actually making a winky face, so at that point you're just roleplaying. Same goes for *actions*. Might as well start cybering while pretending to be anime characters by using faggot anime faces like ^o^

I want *undercover* back. Just for nostalgia.

Why am I not purple yet?

Zed, I'm curious. Did you used to be called HeXxZed? There are a lot of people here with names that are the same as or similar to people I used to know from yonks ago.

No, sorry. This is my oldest account, and it's always had this name. I also have/had a tester account called Amaranth for trying out usergroup permissions and posting when I'd been hacked. Aside from that, nothing.

I'd be happy to make emoticons.

We can make a thread sometime and have people list their more commonly used smilies, and I'll come up with a few different models for people to vote on in case people are looking for a little variety. It sounds like people are interested in the colorful portal smilies, just smaller, so yeah. I mean it sounds like people won't use them TOO much, so I won't have to really bust my ass to get something done.

Alright cool, so cool.

:D

Emoticons are much better when they're not just based on a text smiley.
