What do you think about our smilies?

Here's the other stuff we considered: show
I went in and fixed :P and :censor: since they had issues that annoyed me (the tongue on razz looked horrible, and the knockout around the smilie on censor was incomplete and showed some white). So, while I'm at it (and I would like something to do to relieve this headache I'm developing over Javascript on the Wiki), I'd like to know what you guys think about the smilies. Are they too small? Should more of them be animated? Should we have more kinds?

So, if we are going to redo them, what should they look like? Do we want gray like Raz's steam ones? Blue themed for runouw? Should they be bigger? I have Inkscape, and with that, these are easy as hell to make. The sky's the limit.

Talk to me.

Also, feel free to request an example of any other combination of above properties.
And, can I say, I love not having to rely on an image host for this...

IT IS DONE



So, the concensus was that I redo the originals, and add new ones, including a new special just for Raz. This is the full list of them:

Upgraded:
:blab: 8) :awe: :music: :censor:

:) :D :lol: :P ;)

:roll: :oops: :X :| :( :? O.O :o.o: :o D: :omg: :o_O: :cry:

Redone:
:idea: :!: :?: :rarrow: :larrow: :uarrow: :darrow: :evil: :twisted:

New:
XD :3 |:) ;P :c :< c: :nervous: :angel: XS

The new uniques and all the controversial are now hidden:
:doramsays: :raz smile: :amp smile: :geek: :ugeek: :mrgreen: :ninja: :troll:

Image Taking this one out to be fair to Raz, since I get one, and he gets one, I'd rather it be the other one for me.


The request lines are closed. Facepalm and high5 are taking too long, and will be finished later, but otherwise, this is done. Thank you for your participation.


And the checklist is on Trello, if you're curious.

there is no accepted use of emotes as of present (disregarding ♥♥♥♥)

i wouldn't complain if they were removed entirely, but leaving them in to avoid breaking posts from earlier years would be a good idea

A lot of the smilies I see zero use for. Some like ;) and :D I see used occasionally but I never see 90% of the smilies used today.

Normally I get on with the smilies we have, and some standard emoticons like :3, :<, :c and all those. Maybe smilies could be added for those three. If there are smilies which I think they're not necessary, it would be the Geek and Uber Geek

Now that I'm not on my phone, I can say what i want to say (aside from removing :troll:)

also I know a lot of other people have hate for emotes but I have always loved emotes because they help convey emotion in a post easily and in a different way.
although in a perfect world I'd replace all these gross yellow emotes with more fitting emotes such as some of the steam emotes

Personally I don't dislike emotes, just that these ones aren't really my taste (especially with the yellow).
