Bring back the yellow smilies

I was going to post this in the “About this message board” forum, but I thought it’d get more visibility here.

I hate the these new “big grin” ( : D ) smilies. :mad: They are hideous. :mad: The old “big grin” smilies had been my favorite one. These new ones look like some caricature of a Chinese person. (Sorry if you’re Chinese, but if I was Chinese, I’d hate them even more.)

All my old posts have them also, now. I feel violated, like if someone went through all my old posts and changed all the words to misspellings. Please bring back the old :smiley: smily.

Show your support, people. We got rid of the flaming folders, we can do this too.

It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

I like the old smilie better, too. Since it is probably a pain in the ass for the Admins to change the smilie, I use a workaround.

Throw in <img src=“http://www.elnet.com/~sburch/sjbgrin.gif”> and you get the old smilie. There should be no copyright infringement since the MB should own the rights to the old smilie, as far as I can tell. You’re hitting my server for the image, so if everybody and their brother does it, it might not be good, but a few should be OK. Lovers of the old smilie unite!

Well, I’m with you!

The old smiley was like a visual lol:

The new smiley just looks like some guy who’s gonna get laid :smiley:


…in a state so nonintuitive it can only be called weird…

And a few more come over to my (the dark) side…

<h5>Death to the dorky green smilies!!!</h5>

Feel free to make that the official motto for the anti-green-smiley faction. Now all we need is a decent acronym and we’re set.

Or like a guy that just DID get laid! <img src=http://opalcat.com/smileysex5.gif>

No no-dork smilies dicking any (for want of a better word) recieving-smilies is worth the wait for the animation to complete.

::Even so, sitting impressed with what Opal can do with a keyboard::
