Ok, not reading through all 13 pages (bad I know), and skipping to the end- I see that things have veered off-topic...

But, just to put my 2ct in on the animated graphics.

As someone that is prone to headaches, and very light sensitive; the flashing banners can trigger a nasty migraine. I avoid looking at anything that flashes. The smiles are fine, movement doesn't bother me, but the flashing light is a big trigger.
I am grateful that this rule is now in effect. It was getting so bad, I was afraid to read any threads. So, for that... thank you.


(now that pervy guy is another story! He doesn't look like he's "blowing a raspberry", he looks like he's licking everybody.)

:pervy: Indeed it does, but the way it is typically used, is as a :p

I kinda do wish they'd just change the definition of :pervy: to "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!" It WOULD come in handy for that, but as it is ('pervy'), I must pass. :p <--- that one I take to be more of a 'silly me' thing

I think this one also pretty much sucks for conveying 'mellowness': :| Its corresponding text version is :-| (which I define as similar to :-/ ); which IMO have traditionally expressed something between nothingness/so what and arggg... At those times, I certainly wouldn't want to be mistaken for just feeling 'mellow' instead!! :-/ Conversely, when i AM feeling mellow, which is generally considered a GOOD thing, I don't want to look 'so-whatish' or 'arrrgg-ish.'

And this... :confused: ...maybe it's just me, but personally I'm capable of being confused independently of being actively unhappy.

Or :yawn:... myself, I yawn with my mouth open. However, this is one that is defined differently in the drop-down list ('bored') than in the full platter of emoticons one can bring up via the 'More' link.

...Now that I've faced all this chaos at once I'm feeling overwhelmed; don't know how or even if I'll be able to go on...






:rolleyes:;)

...coincidence; or hastened by my railing against heretofore-available smiley selection, and the clearly-growing rally cry behind said protest?? If so, perchance also related to the subsequent database error/outage... In which case I personally can claim credit for causing a major event that affected all several hundred ECF members present??? Ah, to make my mark here just once in some way... :p:2cool::D;):lol::party: :toast::headbang::banana::p <-- *still defined as 'pervy' only on the 'More' platter... but no such luck y'all, don't mean it that way ;-)

*Correction: tongue-flicky guy is currently in there twice, once as 'Tongue,' once as 'Pervy'...

More smilies!

:vapor: :toast: :mail: :2c: :ohmy: :img: :glug: :spammers: :banana: :smokie: :bday: :rules: :firefox: :angel: :party: :drool: :offtopic: :danger: :matrix: :censored:
