you are welcome to use any smile, at any time, within the limits of good taste. you've already figured out how to link them, now get your ass to smiling.

as to hosting them, that's beyond my control. anyone higher wanna answer?

I HATE animated smilies with a passion. They are far too distracting, and if they became apart of the board they would be WAAAY overused. A lot of communities do that, and the conversations become unreadable!
No I think its best that we stick to our current set.

Of course, smilies should be hated when a thread becomes overrun with them. But I say at least 3 or 4 should be amended to our current set or to replace some of the old ones. I don't want all these that is for sure.

I agree they are annoying sometimes, but i think i could handle seeing a few more of them

If you find smilies you like, and the board you find them on allows you to hotlink them (the ones I've come across do... they actually give you the img tags to link with them), then by all means, use them (sparingly).

*RANT WARNING*

I am of the opinion that text emoticons are acceptable, if unneeded most of the time. Pictures representing text emoticons are at best repetitive and at worst, highly useless and annoying. The elaborate pictures (such as animated ones) concerning these smilies are even more useless. After many years of using forums, I have not found a single one where I thought the smilies had any sort of positive conversational or aesthetic impact. Perhaps it is just my opinion, and other people derive great utility from cute pictures derived from emoticons and find them indespensible in communicating ideas. I, for one, would not mind if all the smilies died in some sort of nuclear holocaust, their charred remains smiling until the bitter end.

Well, I may be way off here, but whatever floats your boat. I dont mind the little fellas, call me whacked.

I think a little variety in the ones we currently have would be welcome.

Thanks for the smiley links MacGnG

I think smilies can be great when used in moderation. When used too much they tend to become terribly annoying.
