Emoticons must die!

Here are all the emoticons, for reference:

Very Happy

The following emoticons suck, for reasons:

Not as good as the smiley it replaces, :D
Makes you look like an ass when you only want to :)
there are two better laughing animations but they're not on top of the list
just dumb
You gonna cry you better cry in front of a flag
Yellow circle is boring as a background. I would like to see large action versions of these.
This is here twice because it's so dumb. It's supposed to be a light bulb but it looks kind of like a cyclops. Solution: or because they look exactly like a cyclops.

what do you hate? what reasons? what changes?

edit: the following are okay but should be larger:
Happy Owly

Personally I like Mad

and

. Some things aren't quite important enough to use Distraughty the Eagle

and I don't want to over use him.

These are too small: Happy Owly

I especially want the owly ones to be bigger.

edit: Also I dislike I Wuv Woo

because you should either use <3 or Happy Owly

because they are far better

I am just so sick of the emoticons.

Ryan, the whole emoticon thing is really getting old here.

I mean, it was fun while it lasted...

Sunglasses are not used often enough.

When you make a post that you feel is cool, please add them at the end.

I only ever remember 4 symbolic animals, but fortunately the Brits is one of them.

Canada = Beaver
USA = Eagle
Russia = Bear
Great Britain = Lion

We should make uses for those, so we won't have to get rid of them.
Like if we're in a good mood, we'll use Leonardo.

"Hey guys, I just had sex last night, TWICE

!"

I guess Raphiel would be for bad moods.
"Then she was all like 'Oh yes he did.' I can't believe he did Raphael

"

Donatello would be for gloating
"Haha, I have more mom's than you, NO MOM

"

Then Michelangelo would be for if you're feeling extreme.
"YEAH ROCK ON! Michaelangelo

"

There, that should solve our emoticon problems Donatello

Those seem to fit, except for Donatello. Utahraptor

DONATELLO IS THE SMART ONE

Someone make one for Metalhead.

Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 7:22 pm

Right, so it works for saying something smart, not something gloating.
I don't really equate those 2 things, and I don't recall Donatello gloating overly much.

PSST FIREFOX+GREASEMONKEY USERS

Professor Pointey

It shoves all the emoticons right next to the message, where they belong!

Donatello

It doesn't work after you hit preview, though. Sad Owly

<-DISREGARD THIS
I might fix that later... <-I FIX'D IT

EDIT: Updated. Now works when quoting.
EDIT: Updated again. Now works at all times, even outside of TaBB. The neat thing, though, is I came up with something even better, probably...
