Title: Laugh Emoticon
Post by: Nostic on February 07, 2005, 17:13:14
The laugh emoticon in these forums (namely  :lol: ) is just downright awful. Man, it doesn't look like a good hearty laugh. Looks more like a weird smirk. We need something else. Can new emoticons be added?? I was thinking something like (http://derekb200.tripod.com/gifs/laugh5.gif)

Anyone else agree?

Along those lines, I don't like the plain smileys, either.

Ours: :)

Here here.

Nostic, you can make this thread a poll, if you want, since we're in the Reports and Questions forum.

I asked Adrian about adding new emoticons awhile back and to be honest, it is just so much more added work for him that I'll just accept the ones we have. :)

Nostic, you have a good one there, next time just use it instead of the yucky one. hehe

Be glad this isn't one of our smilies:

Nay, how long and how much effort would it take? Couldn't someone just take the pic I posted and add it to the list? I want it to be something that's easily available to the entire forum.

I'm not crazy about the "smile" smiley either no_leaf, but surely the "laugh" smiley is the worst offender.

Telos, man, YOU are the reason I made this thread! When you did your Arnold impression from "Different Strokes" I literally laughed so loud I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors heard me!  :D
I'd be willing to make a poll only if I knew that it might actually make a difference. Mods, tell me if something like that would help. Personally it seems like a bit too much trouble for something so simple, but if that's what it takes...

I assume by Nay's response, that the smiley list CAN be changed or modified.

This is just a small request, but I think it'd be a really nice touch for the forums.
