What do you think about our smilies?

[Asterocrat]

I know have a new favourite smilie

Also, dropping by since I didn't get the chance before... These looks pretty cool. It was kind of weird at first but I'm starting to like them now.

Why does nobody like ?

[Doram]

All right, I adjusted the timing, and added the pause at the end instead of at the beginning. I didn't want it to just sit there and continually waggle. That's not suggestive, it's just annoying.

If you look real closely, you may notice that the new Awesome Face isn't completely filled in.

[Doram]

Well, no that's actually the anti-aliasing. I toned it down a bit, tell me if that looks better.

[CedarBranch]

Yeah, it does. :> Maybe it could be slightly rounder, but that's only a small nitpick.

[Doram]

Well, I was trying to eliminate the half-pixels. By the way, last call, everyone liking the newest "Surprise"?

EDIT: I tried. I tried to do a shush. It came out WAY too creepy. Plus I lost all the detail in the hand. I put a lot of time into that... Well, you can't win them all... Maybe I should work on this tomorrow...

And I also don't like the facepalm (did I ever use it?) for the same reason why I don't like the evil devil face. If I think a post is really facepalm-worthy, I rather try to develop the problems in words, or I just go report it.

While I totally agree that using your words is the primo number one best way to solve any problem, I HAVE used these, mostly when I have been describing my reactions to my own actions. Sometimes I facepalm myself, and that's Ok, because once I realize I have made a mistake, I can then start to try and fix my mistake. As with many things in life, these smilies are tools. They can be used to heal or to harm. And, yes, using them to minimize what you are trying to tell a person about themselves is not their best use, and in the worst situations can cause more confusion than they can bring clarity. but surrounded with the fine details that show that you are paying attention, and actively involved in a conversation, they can bring a touch of humour and humanity to an otherwise lifeless block of text. That's why I am not just removing them, but I am segregating them into areas where they will be less commonly accessed. Once there are hidden smilies, there is a new link at the bottom of the smilie listing on the posting page, which opens a popup with a full listing of the smilies. There they will sit, until they are needed, and I hope all of you will find them as useful as I do.

Also, finalizing the Surprised, and adding the hat to Uber Geek that someone requested yesterday.

Doram, all those smilies are very well done. Good job.

but you just need to implement the fedora on the
