Subject: Emoticons on the forums

don't take me too seriously..


<3

I just wanted to know if emoticons on the forums were ever considered because sometimes the only way I could truly express myself, is by using one of those little emoticons, such as..

:) ----smiley
:( ----sad face
:O ----surprised face
:l ----wtf face
>:( ----mad face

Maybe a thumbs up, thumbs down icon too..

Theres plenty more, but I would like to know if anyone else would like to see these, or any others, on the forums. Could this be something we could see soon, or is there no chance of it?

Emoticons are obnoxious.

Why can't you just use the basic ones? I don't think there's a big difference.

If we can use emoticons then the days of posts with large amounts of !! are over and the days with large amounts of winking faces begin.

And we surely wouldn't want that!! ;)

.. I think having images as the 'smileys' are a bad idea.

They don't have to be very flashy. Just the basic ones most forums use, or maybe some custom ones from Bungie themselves. I'm sure there could be a limit to their use per post.

It looks like most of you don't like them though.. :'( <---sad

Just the basic ones are fine; variations get confusing.

As long as I have a say in it, no, there will never be emoticons.

Never. They're annoying and ugly.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

:D That was pretty funny! :D

I am confused, why do you want them? :l

AHH! My tounge has been cut off! :F

Well, you're no Shirley Temple either.. Sheesh.

I'd have to agree. If that wink I just did right there was a big, fat, circular face, it could get annoying.. And it would increase the ability to spam, methinks. Images are more 'spamtacular' than text emotes.

I think B.net members (the many immature ones) would probaly take it out of hand posting things with like 700 devil smileys in a row and type "DIE!" and that would be their post. I am happy with my witty smileys how they are!

Everyone likes a :), :( or a :/ but the fat faces that wink endlessly when you are tired make you want to hurt, break and generally kill things/people.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I love how everbody joins with Achronos and destroys their own oppinions no matter what they really think.

I don't think they're a bad idea. I'm in several other forums where they have emoticons, they really aren't that bad.

Of course, Bungie.net can only seem to attract the most imature members on the planet and it would all go south. Even though posts full of emoticons would be considered spam and the forums have plenty of moderators.

Oh well, not like my oppinion matters anyway.

Emoticons are cool.
