I've got quite a few smilies withh me that am not doing anything with, is there any way that it could get put on V9. Should i email them to Creation or someone

they would need to be the same size, colour and characteistics as the current ones.

Nothing worse than a forum with different smilies from yahoo, aim, msn etc etc

I vote no, it gives people more opportunity to post replies with just one useless smiley.

Besides, no one really uses the whole bunch of them that we have anyway.

They are the same color as the regular ones and some of them are from the ifskinzone.net

Rusty - Don't play Devils Advocate, try to think of some better reason to say no

I have no need to play devil's advocate, and my reason is perfectly valid. I'm offering my opinion as a long time member of this (and other boards), and I vote no. How can you justify the addition of extra smilies when you only use a fraction of the ones currently available?

It would worry me if you can't express yourself with the 100+ smilies we already have.

Im afraid Im with Rusty, we have a fat load of smiley's already, I don't see the need for any more!

What, you not even keen to see what he has to offer?

Maybe there is one to compete with the one or the one?? He may have a 1 there that could become your favorite?

Any chance you can show us some of them CrashandBurn? Upload a screeney or something.

Thanks Cyfer for the heads up! Yep i'll upload the smilies to my wxeb server and post them by IMG tags to the thread tmz, when i can get to my home pc.

Keep an eye out for it

You guys are acting like real bums (no offence meant).You are jumping to conclusions about it before you have enve seen the stuff! Wait till you see the smilies and then deciode whether you want them or not

And Rusty



It never hurts to have more, you aren't forced to use em anyway

Cyfer of course is excluded from this post!

Crash: Send me them and i can do some uploading 4 you to speed it up 4 you

I am with Rusty, I just hate the whole smiley thing so much

I am keen to take a look see and if there are some cool ones, well then, if not why not

Yeah I know what you guys mean, Even though I use smileys, I dont think that adding more crap for everyones inet connections to deal with is a great idea.

They don't take that long to load. and if you don't use them all, then you can simply use the small list.

Suppose

I just remember the shoutbox, covered in

Now it is covered in and jubblies...

Yeah, on second thoughts, a tits smiley should be seen more here

I agree. Given v9's nice clean look, I dont think those ew looking ones will fit in with the current feel and look of the forums. I think if there is going to be discussion of including other smilies, then it should be put to the vote for the V9 members to decide and the proposed smilies should be posted in a separate thread so that all members can see what it would look like against the V9 backdrop/within the V9 interface (whatever way you want to say it). Since this is our space for expression, we should be able to contribute to the deciding of which tools to use in that expression.

i disagree people use them a lot. It shows emotion in posts that other wise with out a face could be taken the wrong way.

I don't need to see the stuff, I simply don't see the point in adding more smilies when:

A) People don't even use a fraction of the ones we already have
B) You can express yourself more than sufficiently with 100+ smilies

Shi-shi makes a valid point too: we don't want the board looking like the inside of a whore's handbag, or a christmas tree on acid. Thousands of multi-coloured smilies are tacky and unnecessary.

Bleh, at this rate we won't even need to type anything to get a point across.

And Renegade, we are not acting like 'bums': a lot of the opinions above come from V9 veterans, and I for one can tell you that I've never seen the average user make use of more than a handful of smilies. I'm not saying we don't use them, I'm saying that we don't actually need more to express ourselves.

Rusty, I understand where you are coming from however... What is the problem with him showing us what he has? We can then decide on whether they fit in with the rest of the smilies. We can also then decide as a group if we should add them.

If they are the same, size and colour as our current ones why not add them? They may get used, they may not. I don't see anyone ever complain that all the ones we have now are not used??

I didn't say he can't show us, I just provided my motivation for not adding them.

It doesn't matter if they fit in with the other ones IMHO: look back at my point about the current ones that aren't even being used. It's like complaining that there's nothing to watch on DSTV and they should add more channels, but when they do you still just stick to the few you always watch because yet another food or movie channel is just redundant.

We can have a look at them and then vote on it, but it seems pointless to me and will more than likely result in a spam flood of single-smiley posts.

But does anyone complain now that the current ones aren't used? I don't complain about the channels on DSTV that I don't use. They are there if ever I want to use them. Nobody hear is saying there aren't enough smilies (so no one here is complaining there aren't enough DSTV channels) Someone just asked if we could add more... If they aren't used, then so be it. If they are, then so be it.

Do we currently have a problem with 1 post smiley spam posts? If it happens I will delete the post and people will soon learn.

Anyways, best we put it to a vote, once we have seen them.

You miss my point: I'm not complaining about people not using the current ones, I'm asking why people want more when they don't even use the ones we currently have. A reasonable question, no?

We currently don't have a problem with one-smiley posts, but I'm glad you're prepared dude

good lord people, they are just smilies.

you dont have to use them, you dont have to see them when making a post. but people that do want them will have access to them.

so, when they are displayed here, we can see if they are decent and decide from there.

yeah, lets see them!

Your argument is flawed. You use an example saying it is like people complaining about not having enough DSTV channels and then not using the new ones. There is no complaining currently about lack of smilies. So if people don't use more that get added (if they do) then it is like they wouldn't even know they were added. However if they do use them it is like someone using more DSTV channels that got added even though they were not complaining about lack of DSTV channels.

Perhaps, but it was just an example. My original points still stand.

Regardless, it'll come down to a vote once we've seen them.

Hey V9

What Happened - How come all of this controversy erupted over my smilies when you haven't even seen them yet!

Anyway sorry for the delay but here they are: Just unzip the atachment and view the smilies with a web browser (a lot of em are Animated)

[attachment=10139:Smilies.zip]

What do you think???

Even if you guys added one of the smilies i would be over the moon (so to speak)

Some are cool but some are very similar to current ones, so I reckon we be selective if we do add them.

Yes, some of them will make an appearance but others wont since they are either the same, very similar or dont fit in with our current scheme!

Thanks though, some of them are cool

i saw 5 that I like

I like em CAB, especially the machine gun, apc and flamethrower those were ace!

Nice Work

There are a few I like. There are 1 or two others that with a different colour would work well. Nice work.

those are the ones I hated.

Good thing you like users input though hey paul

I like them

Don't have any objections to some new smilies making an appearance

smilies FTW besides you can only have so much smilies in one post before you hit a error and I would like to see if there's anything that can beat the and and smilies!

i dont particularly like any of the proposed smilies because i wouldnt use them....

who needs more when you have and

My favourites:

Hardly get to use them though!

What you guys aren't even commenting on HIS smilies. So which ones are going in?

(CAB is too lazy to get on as he plays too much DOTA)

those have been added. Thanks for them

sweet. I dig the ba one.

Nice!

I wish some more of them could have been added though

CRASH get your lazy ass here

Whow. I would use them. They look good
