I can't be the only one that really, really dislikes all the shitty smilies we've got, and continue to have added.

They make the forum look childish and cluttered (alongside avatars and signatures, but that's another issue).

They're often ugly and poorly-designed.

The majority are rarely used.

Most of them serve no purpose, and were implemented because they could be instead of because they could be.

I'm not someone that thinks Zoklet should strive to be exactly like Totse, but back there we had maybe 15 smilies and everybody got by just fine. We don't need all these retarded animations at all.

I think every smilie section except General should be deleted (minus maybe a couple). If you want to communicate something in the other smilies, we have IMG tags for a reason. Improving something isn't always analogous to adding something.

i dunno, i agree most of them are never going to get used, but...i remember when i first found the site thinking that it was cool that we had the largest collection of smilies i'd ever seen.

.

The same can be said about the license fail plate banner....so at least they are consistent and fits the "theme. :grinblunt:

There we go folks.....the epitome of the current leadership of Zoklet . He liked all the sparkle and glitter, and his idea of "cool" (Wow. Just fuckin wow) is what is forging ahead a new trail into 2011. :facepalm:

We should delete your smiley that you always use for post headers.

Why remove them? Nobody's really abusing them or posting excessive amounts of them. It's always nice to have a big selection.

You don't call something cool if you like it? Everyone has their own idea of cool; it's just a word, it just depends on how you use it. Why do you live your life with such anger and hatred? You should just relax and realize that it's all about your mindset. All he said was he thought it was cool that we had a lot of smilies. o_O

If you don't like them don't use them simple enough. But to remove them just because a handful of people say so would be moronic. Oh wait this is Zoklet...

I don't really know why :lapastada: is a smiley but it kinda makes me lol anyway.

:youmad: is fucking great though, I'm glad we have this one. And of course :facepalm: and :picard: are great too.

I agree that most sections of smileys should be removed though, we really don't need this many smileys. If we get rid of everything but Skittles' custom smileys, the classic Totse smileys, and :facepalm: and I'll be perfectly happy.

Haha Marijuanasaurus you so mad. It's okay though, I find some people simply cannot enjoy a delicate thing such as :lapastada:

No forum is complete without a shitload of really poor quality smilies.

Fact. Plus, I've found some uses for some of the obscure similies. :sweatdrop:

i think we can safely say this isn't going to happen. they aren't hurting anyone, or damaging the site by being there.
