[204467]

I think the one's already here are enough; any more and smiley use be make forum posts far to annoying to read.

I hate web 2.0. Why not wait for 3.0.

Next Tuesday? Should I wait or buy now?

I think we could actually get rid of some of the existing ones...

These two at least could go

Yes. Agreed.

Definitely! I'm sick of seeing new users who think it is necessary to put an Apple logo at the end of every sentence. That 'cool' smiley also gets on my nerves.

You can type an Apple logo with Option + Shift + K on a Mac, anyway.

The Apple Logo smiley was introduced because the ⌥ + ⇧ + K combo doesn't bring up the logo on Windows, or something. It's been angering me ever since. We don't need posts from newbies that end like either of the following:

ZOMG!!!!!1! are the best!!!!!!!!11

It's enough to make you want to punch the wall.

Wow, you guys are really against change. I was asking if you want to add the smileys I posted in the 1st post. But it seems you guys prefer the forum to be the way it is. I wonder how ticked off some of you would be if Apple shared your enthusiasm regarding change.

We're not against change. It's not broken, so why does it need fixed? The MacRumors forum is a heaven compared with other forums. There's no distraction of masses of smileys (which, to be honest, are mainly overused by people that can't work out how to convey an emotion using their words); there are no images in signatures to get in the way; it's all about the discussion.

And it should stay that way.

Did I hear someone request an idiot?? [snip smiley]

WOW that smiley is disturbing.

I hate web 2.0. Why not wait for 3.0.

I heard it's coming next Tuesday, and it'll be snappier than before.

Web...

Absolutely

I love the ones we have now but the new ones give off a lot of emotions I wish to give off at times

[SFStateStudent]

I agree with the previous posts: More would Reckon everything!

I think there's been pretty extensive discussion on this topic, so I'm going to go ahead and close this.

Just as a reminder. Please don't abuse it, but you're certainly welcome to inline smileys from smiley hosting sites such as http://www.my-smileys.de/ (the one I use) if you really want additional choices. So you do have options. Again, please do not make your posts obnoxious, or action will probably be taken.
