Rooster_Ties Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Hey, any chance we could get a new rolleyes.gif smilie?? --> I can't tell you how many times I've seen people around here use it (I think by mistake), when they really probably intended just to pick a "smiling" smilie. In fact, looking over to my left right now -- as I'm typing this -- for some reason none of the smilies are currently animated (not "animat-ing"), and as a result, the "rolleyes" one looks like a regular smile with the eyes wide, wide open. So, with that in mind, I have this suggestion... Take away the "smile" part, and make the mouth go straight acorss, just like the mouth on this smilie ---> Oh, that, and we need more threads about Kerry's war record. Can we please do something about that too. Edited August 24, 2004 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 If someone makes it, I'll put it up. Otherwise, I'll get there when I can! Or should I say Quote
Claude Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Could we also have a more friendly ;-) (wink) smilie? The standard one used on most boards is , but ours ( looks too depressed. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 That's why I made the pink one. Quote
Jim R Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I was still hoping for an alternate board skin. B-) I recently downloaded a newer browser for my Mac, but the board still appears in these glorious pastel colors... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Skins take a lot of time. The new software (version 2.0) might have some preprogrammed ones. Quote
Brad Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 How about some of the smilies that they now have on AAJ. Some of those, like the dancing dude, are pretty cool. Quote

It's like missing a letter on your typewriter. We also could do with a "sarcastic" smilie. One that comunicates the sentiment, "Yeah, RIGHT! I really "loved" it! Uh-huh." None of the ones we have (a fine bunch, to be sure) really convey that. Edited August 26, 2004 by BruceH Quote

BruceH Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 how about a hanc giving the "OK" sign? The thumbs-up is getting tired. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Posted January 5, 2005 Bumping this one up again, cuz we really do need a better "rolly eyes" smiley, for all the reasons already discussed. Quote
Free For All Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 we have plenty of smilies. Goddam right! Why, when I was your age there were NO smilies! Sarcastic intent was only possible through the written word, and we had to post uphill both ways. Now quitcher bitchin' or I'll turn this website around and we'll go home and we'll just see how that feels, mister! Oops. Sorry I blew up. Quote
Use3D Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 well if it was up to me we'd have no smilies, personally I hate them. The roboticons are good though. Quote

robviti Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 i always thought of the roll eyes's "smile" as more of a smirk. as such, it lets other people know i think the person i'm referring to is an idiot. at the same time, it elicits feelings of self-satisfaction that reinforce my underlying sense of superiority. naturally, i like it! B-) while we're on the subject, why do we have an angry black smilie with a 70's 'fro? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Yessir, it's Big Ben Wallace from the Detroit Pistons! Don't mess with Big Ben. Quote
robviti Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Yessir, it's Big Ben Wallace from the Detroit Pistons! Don't mess with Big Ben. i wouldn't dream of it. well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Quote
ejp626 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 I think we could use a beating a dead horse gif, but I don't have the skillz to do it myself. Quote

robviti Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 i know it's only a smilie, but damn, that's disturbing. Quote
