    The smilie cleanup

    Ok, I think we should clean up the list of smilies. Ok, everyone, which smilies do you think we should get rid of, immediately? I know that most of the smilies are never used at any point, so I figure, might as well get rid of it. I want the list of smilies to be at least 50.

    So any smilies you like us to get rid of? List them here, and we'll remove them, or something.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Yeah, those are some of the ones that I've never seen people use or they look stupid and serve no purpose.

    Oh, and there are a lot of repeat smilies that look similar and serve the same purpose. Examples:


    :rolleyes: :rolleyes2:
    :riiight: :sweatdrop:
    :-\

    And so forth! There are a lot more repeats, but i'm getting tired of doin all of this, especially since Austin Powers in on TV.

    Can we PLEASE ban every single animated smiley? Anything that moves should be killed.

    chop, strut, beer, roll, joey, trout, and that machine gun one are my top priorities for removal.

    Yeah, there seems to be a heck of a lot of grinning smilies too. Like:

    :bgl: :greenking :biggrin: :upsidedow :giddy: and etc.

    I think it would be easier if people posted the ones people WANT to keep. This is pathetic.

    ... yeah. A lot of those are either repeats of older smilies, or don't emote anything.

    Also, I think that we should either keep just the original , , etc. smilies, or just their AIM counterparts. We don't really need two sets, do we?

    No Proto, I was just saying how many grin smilies there were, I don't think all of them should be gotten rid of, just some of them.

    The ultimate would be for people to be able to choose a custom smilie set to use when the post, like for LiveJournal... That would be so cool. Of course, that's impractical.

    I personally thing that my smilie revision list is the one you should go by though. I mean, really. I have excellent taste.
