OK, if we could get new emojis designed by Slug, in _that_ case I would be all in favor of them. Meanwhile, though, image emojis explicitly enabled by a site are an anachronism nowadays, anyway. Why do you want us to move backwards? We’re not stuck in the past, here.������❤������������������������☀ ---

It’s my understanding that several court cases winding through the system were going to require all social media include the dancing banana emoji but luckily the scrapping of net neutrality should put the kibosh on that. ---

Even if, like Twitter or Facebook, you just convert real emojis to image emojis. ---

I think we need an emoji with little X’s for eyes and his tongue hanging out listlessly, just for the OP. 😃 ---

My [SDMB Old Smileys](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/BigTSDMB/SDMB_Old_Smileys) userscript is still around, for use with the [Tampermonkey](https://tampermonkey.net/) or [Greasemonkey](http://www.greasespot.net/) addons to any browser (except Internet Explorer). And I’ve just put out a [CSS-only version](https://userstyles.org/styles/145349/sdmb-old-smileys) up for people who want to use the [Stylish](https://userstyles.org/) addon instead. ---

It won’t make them consistent (as part of the problem is the forum software), but you can install [Chromoji](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromoji-emojis-for-googl/negakbijaemdgbhklopmghphgaeadmpo?hl=en) to get nice pretty emoji in Chrome. Clicking the button even gives you a list of them you can click on. That’s what I use on Windows 7. Windows 8 or higher may have color emoji already. ---

> [@watchwolf49](#): > > It _would_ be nice if we could upload avatars … I don’t see how that could be abused … The excuse used to be that every single poster would make goatse their avatar. Or even worse. The avatar would be animated and that would make this the worst site on the internet because we are about our words and we stand by what we write and not the big-tittied animated anime girl we would all make as our avatar. ---

Image emojis are for losers. Real posters use keyboard characters that don’t get converted. 🙂 ---
