WHAT?
You just need to cheat…
non sum cognito non sum ergo.
Well, crap. (roll eyes smilie) =)
I saw what you did.
You guys need to learn your hex values.
OK, the popular are demanding: BRING BACK THE OLD ROLLEYES!
Yes, DAMMIT!
How did you type all caps? =) <-A protest smiley’
Refresh or possibly empty your cache. I’m seeing the old smileys again.
That’s the ‘puke’ one. Of course the ‘spit or swallow’ question hits that question right on the head…
I liked the old EEK! smiley better.
EDIT: And the old Roll-Eyes smiley.
I don’t often chime in on threads like this, but I agree—please bring back the old smileys, or at least balm our anger by adding a couple of more. (I’ve always been a fan of the “slamming head against brick wall” and “nauseated” types, with the “brain exploding” running a close third)
we want out old smiles back, dag nabbit!
YES!
And all caps!
=) <-Protest smilie. The other looks like a fucking alien. =)
Echoing the sentiment that the artsy fartsy cutesy patootisie smilies need to be taken out back and shot, and the grungy, mature old smilies that Real Men And Women use should be brought back. I have personal confirmation that God, Vishnu, Thor, and the Flying Spaghetti monster all agree.

:eek:
Whoa.
My take is that if you can’t snark properly with the written word, then the smilie isn’t going to help you.
We’re here to fight ignorance. Smilies’ function is to soften rancor: bringing back the old 1990s versions would be counter-productive.
I might think about editing the current rolley though.
It’s even better when you snark WITH smileys. 
Nah, seriously - we have enough rancor here.
I toned down the giggles on Mr. Rolleyes. It’s subtle - you may not notice the difference immediately, though it’s readily observable when the images are alongside one another. Snarko-meter readings are now registering at 3.8 quatloos. It’s still way less snarky by than Mr. OldyRolly - intentionally.

Well hell, why don’t we take out colors, too? Or bolding? Or text sizes? Or using an exclamation point outside of a quotation?
The smilies’ function is, besides entertainment, communication. Arbitrarily changing them—not even deleting them—would rather smack of molding the community’s character by editing it’s vocabulary.
It strikes me as a bit…ungood.
