After being on the Theatre of Tragedy forum for quite a long time (it was a phpbb forum too) I feel a little bit unable to express some of my emtions because some emoticons that I looove (like Mr. Green and the twisted side of :evil: ) are missing.

Just a small petition to have some more. :)

The human emoticon, Kain. ;)

I know it might be hard, but you can always try expressing yourself with words. Words can express a wider range and depth of emotion than a simple graphic can anyway.

I use both. All the time. That's why people who I know at the internet and then in person named me "the human smiley".

But if you were really the human smiley you would only be able to express one simple emotion at a time. You couldn't be amusingly perplexed... you could only be :-?

:o :-?

To express two emotions at the time I combine smileys that are appropriate with the context (like the above).

What's that? The orgasmic grimace?

No. I don't know you, but orgasms make me happy, not the sort of stuff that makes you put a confused face.

I could take that sentence places, but I'll refrain from tainting your mind.

While you're waiting, you can do a google search for smilies and then link them from there. It's a bit of a hassle, but if you are intent on having them, it's a way to go.

Only Martijn can reply to the question of more or less smilies...
I personnaly think smilies tend to become annoying when you have ppl over-using them

but so can words...
ok, i agree that having 30 smilies in a 20-word post is a bit annoying, but... where do you put the limit? is 1 per 10 ok, 2 per 10? can you measure this?.
all should be done/left in good taste, i think
