i think for the next build they should add halo or bungie insipered emoticon, so that when you type :D you get a mini-mister chief smiling. what do you guys think?

I can't find the quote, but Achronos says no emoticons.

And anyway, I would hate to see only Halo related emoticons.

You wouldn't see me if bungie used emoticons.

I would rather not have emoticons. It would bring spam to a new level. Plus they're just.....I don't know, but I don't want them.

And emoticons is one step away from graphics in sigs...

I love B.net's layout, it's easily the best of any forum I've seen.

I personally hate emoticons. I'm okay with text-based (I use them from time to time), but pic-based emoticons just look fairly stupid. Plus they wouldn't fit with Bungie.net's format.

No emoticons, I can't stand it when someone posts ten or twenty in a single line thinking they are making some point. They just make the forums look ugly and cluttered in my opinion.

Emoticons are the spawn of pure evil. They don't belong here. Evil!

Yes, you did see that. Reason being, I aimed at your eyes... =P

Delicious use of adjectives from L0NGSCHL0NG there. I especially enjoyed "Vomituously".

I beleive that text-based emoticons are a vital part of web conversation; especially for conveying sarcasm, as above. However I hate the little smiley yellow faces. Ah well!

In conclusion, halo emoticons? Cool as a download, I'm sure that there are, in fact, many Halo-themed packs available out there; but not here, Sonny Jim, not on your life... =)

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I would only want to see emoticons on B.net if they were all little pictures of Frankie.

Would this happen to be it?

Posted by: Achronos
Just in case anybody is uncertain... there will never be custom avatars on this site as long as I'm here (as well as no smilies). Here are the reasons:

1. I do not want to see a picture of your ass as your avatar.
2. Obligatory Penny Arcade reference
3. Managing the avatars of our million-plus accounts would be not trivial and time better spent elsewhere (storage, UI, security, etc.)


Edit---
I bolded the part that relates to this thread.

Congragulations, you've just been served by the 7th column.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I actually think that's a great idea. Although I fully understand why Achronos said no to emotes a year or so ago, I didn't see anyone say anything about Halo (or Bungie games in general) emoticons.

I think they'd be a nice little addition to the site. Sure, they'll get abused a bit... but doesn't everything?

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

Emoticons are only good for quick responses, like on MSN... there is no need to have them in forums... :-P ... they are good enough...

The only reason anyone in their right, or left minds would tolerate the use of Halo emoticons would be to make it easier to pick out those who will make a nuisance of themselves. A simile for this would be that these people would be picking up massive neon targets when surrounded by snipers. People with any common sense, dignity or respect wouldn't touch the emoticons with a hundred-foot stick.

If there were emoticons, some jackass would take the opportunity to make posts filled with them. And my mouse would get worn out from the excessive banning. We don't need another way to spam around here.

I couldn't agree more with not having them, but i think it's worth pointing out that someone could technically spam with normal* emotions..

*Normal= keyboard emotives [e.g ;-)]
