I don't think that smileys are really needed on Bungie.net unless they're being used to show emotion in a text. Showing emotion can prevent many flame-wars, which of course helps the mods out (i.e. making a mom joke and putting ":-P" in your post.) As far as moving smileys go, I agree with everyone that said the reader should be concentrating on the text of a post, not how many smileys are in it.
As far as color goes, I don't think it is such a bad thing, depending upon the situation. Some members think its alright to blind people with, lets say huge bright pink posts. Granted, using colors grabs the attention of the reader, but most will think "Ooooooh, Pink. Its perdy." rather than "Nice point with that" or "Yeah, that's a great idea."
On the other hand, [color=red]color can be used to add emphasis[/color] in a post which can be very useful. I look at it this way... its an extremely useful tool when not abused.
With that said...
