Wishful thinking.

But it is good to know we at least will be keeping our smilies for the time being.
Thanks Dan.

I agree with the proposal. ASCII smileys look much cooler than graphical ones anyway.

But much less recognisable at a glance.

Yeah, the avatars do assist in poster recognition. The flags were nice at first, but I could live without them.

Heaven forbid we remove something that detracts from actual CONTENT.

Apocalypse, you actually have some kind of avatar with such many civ group icons.

[mrmitchell]

This option has been considered in the past, and again in the present. The decision now remains the same as it was then: smilies will not be disabled for the time being.

Probably the point. Perhaps Mark should remove his actual avatar.

[Apocalypse]

Prehaps Mark should remove the avatar since Zylka made it.

Speaking of Zylka, he agrees with me on this issue. We were just talking about that party smiley. What's up with that? Zylka mentioned it looks like a bunch of dancing 7 up spots. It's not even a real smiley.

I could live without flags.

I am concerned with these anti-smilie activists. First they'll take our smilies. Then they'll take our avatars. Then they'll take our abilty to post text.

We have to draw the line, before its too late.

I can live without much of the things we have here at apolyton, but the smilies is not one of those! They are too important IMHO. It's ugly with those smilies that just is text. But whan that is said, we could survive with less smilies...!

[Chilean Presidentâ„¢]

Probably the point.

ehmm..
now I can't see the civgroup icons!

what have I done!!

[Nikolai]

You've done us all a favour!

[Rasbelin]

Indeed.

[War4ever]

i am in favour of keeping the smilies on and going.....same with avatars

[Zylka]

Take a look at this f*cking emoticon, and tell me how exactly that's a "smilie":



I just can't stand that thing... but it's not half as bad a this:



Look at how sh*tty they are - ESPECIALLY the guitar player
