Return to the old emoticons/smilies:

Specifics:
  • Not much to say, the new ones just suck. I think most people will agree with me.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Forum posters won't vomit whenever they see/use an emoticon
  • We won't get some rare-eye-disease-turned-epidemic, either

Can I place my bets for tomorrows rant?

Hmmm - I think tomorrows rant will be... brink back the old forum.

It's a valid request/suggestion to a recent change yeti, don't undermine it. After all, that's what this forum is for.

Why thank you, it's nice to be appreciated :D

Also... I think we have a clear majority to return to the old smilies in this poll...

Question: Why are some of the smilies switching back and forth from new to old? Very confusing. *refuses to use confused smilie*

yeah, the old smileys that were left are even being slowly converted... its like a virus...

what, do they think that because the new ones look slightly more like a head shape, they're better? that's stupid! smileys aren't supposed to look like actual heads, they're supposed to look like smileys. I loved the smileys on this site, bring them back! (no offense to the artist who's drawing them, but this isn't something that needs changing)

Is change always good? I say no. Familiarity has a lot going for it. Also, these new ones are just too... strange.

=D> [-X <---some of the last remaining holdouts from a better, bygone era.
:( :D :o :? <--- some of the worst effects of the new changes.

This. Smileys are supposed to look like smileys not some alien face pretending to be human with a slanted chin which gives it a look like someone has squeezed its interiors. Please bring back the old ones!

bump!
(something of substance: at least include the 'classic' smileys in the 'view more smileys' box, so that we can have the choice...)

These Smilies are PHPBB3.0 smilies... I'm a bit confused as to why they didn't come in when he first did the Upgrade though!?
