Been gathering a few new ones over the last couple weeks, and today I am pleased to unleash them. Most are on the smiley popup menu, but I can always rearrange them later. I like to keep the ones that seem most popular on the front page, so....

Here's the lineup of the new additions:

:uh-huh: XD :wuh?: :ow: :gah: :fire: @-/ :marx: :vader:

Enjoy!
Best regards,
Dáin

Big Grin-To replace the :mrgreen: smilie


Hats Off- kind of says it all.


Huh?- To replace the  ??? smilie


Toast- good job


Beer Party- celebration


Nuke- who doesn't need nukes?


King- awards?


M-16 firing- my personal favorite


Borg- cool looking


Scan- thinking about something


Fish smack- bashing ideas


Roflmao- for Anautikus and macheteman


Hitting head with hammer- I had hoped this could replace the elusive brick wall head-butt

 
Drinking coffee- early morning reviews


Mischief- naughtiness


Bouncing up and down- Excitment


Wall-bash- to replace the old one


Computer smash- for those &%#@*$! moments


Agreement- pretty basic


Beating a dead horse- great response for people who preach to the choir


If Dain could please add some of these eventually I'd be much obliged.

In general, I'm reluctant to add most of the ones you posted--interesting as they may be--because they don't match the "style" of the others since the major smilie update I did several weeks back, taking us back to the days of the beloved CC smilies. But some more specific comments....

Quote

Big Grin-To replace the :mrgreen: smilie

Used to have the one you posted, but it was replaced by ;D with the smiley update.

Quote

Hats Off- kind of says it all.

Not sure when it would be used since we already have the fan favorite =D> back from CC.

Quote

Huh?- To replace the  ??? smilie

Again, your suggestion used to be here until the purple one replaced it. I wouldn't be opposed to going back if people want it done, but I personally liked how the purple guy stood out better, so....

Quote

Toast- good job


Beer Party- celebration

Again, not sure there's room for these with =D> and \:D/ around, which people expressed that they missed before I stumbled across them again and added them to the smiley roster. Plus most people can't/don't drink here. :P

Quote

Nuke- who doesn't need nukes?

Uh...we don't? Yeah, it's fun, but in what context would they really be used?

Quote

King- awards?

Already got *:) on the second page of smilies.

Quote

M-16 firing- my personal favorite


Borg- cool looking


Scan- thinking about something

Yes, they're fun, but again, I don't see a need to keep these around. I imagine they'd be used approximately once every 6 months. :P

Quote

Fish smack- bashing ideas

Not bad...brings back fond memories of trout slapping in mIRC. Oh, those were the days.... Anyway, I might put this one the second page.

Quote

Roflmao- for Anautikus and macheteman

...must be an inside joke I'm not getting.

Quote

Hitting head with hammer- I had hoped this could replace the elusive brick wall head-butt

I think the mythical brick wall would be much preferred if it can be found.

Quote
 
Drinking coffee- early morning reviews

Not bad. Maybe second page material.

Quote

Mischief- naughtiness

Cute, but I think we have plenty of other smilies that would be used in its place. Pass.

Quote

Bouncing up and down- Excitment

Just a personal thing, but I HATE bouncing guys like that.

Quote

Wall-bash- to replace the old one

Hey, you found it! :gp: to ya. I WILL add that one right away! :up:

Quote

Computer smash- for those &%#@*$! moments

Already got :cpunch:. If people are tiring of that, though, I guess we could switch.

Quote

Agreement- pretty basic

Way too big, in my opinion, and also rather unnecessary.

Quote

Beating a dead horse- great response for people who preach to the choir

I feel bad for the horse. :'( Also pretty big and clunky.

I dunno...maybe I'm just too resistant to change or something. If other folks like some of these suggestions, I can certainly go and add them. But we've got a ton of smilies already.... At some point, we'd have to start dropped others to fit new ones in.
Best regards,
Dáin

That reminds me, the thumbs down smilie isn't shaded properly, since I only rotated the thumbs up. Here's the set yanked from another forum (unless you have them already): .

Also I'll put forward a suggestion to make ;) a fixed smilie again. Dunno about other folks, but I always pause there when reading through posts, because it's not immediately clear it's a wink. It's like a speed bump. :lol:

I liked it better fixed, yeah. Btw, I "might" have the old brick wall smiley, as well as the thinking one (rubbing his chin), the bowing one, the rolling eyes one and the violin one (yeah, because EVERYONE missed this one, right?) How do I go about making them usable?

Maybe drop the Borg smilie but still, for the rest I think they'd be used more than these:  ^-^ XD :wuh?: :ow: :gah: :fire: @-/ :marx: :)'
which never get used, not even once every 6 months. As for the  :vader: Darth Vader, cute, but pointless, I've never seen it used once on the forums out of lack of purpose. Same with the O0 Afro. Too bulky and needs a purpose.


Quote

Roflmao- for Anautikus and macheteman

This one would get used a lot. Trust me. Remove the Afro and Vader and add this one?


I would appreciate if you could add these.  [-o<
