    Default Smileys

    I'd like to be able to use ALL of the Smiley's from Sgt Rock's Hiking HQ. Agree?

    Hmmmm....I seem to remember LW using some of Rock's smiles, and it seemed as if he enjoying it. ha!

    It did seem a little overkill; the ones here enough I think.

    I don't want to anger ATTROLL, he does a lot of hard work for the site.

    The HikingHQ smilies are cool, but cheesy and would detract from the serious nature of WB.

    I agree but would be a nice addition in the humor forum. back folks!



    PS: Since this this wasn't an option I didn't vote.

    Smilies from Rock's site? He's got a few more than here? I'll have to go check them out.

    I would like to see a few added - a popcorn eating smiley and the sword fighting smiley or the running over with bike smiley. We could remove the dancing 'nanner and dancing nekked baby avatar. Oh - we also need the running for cover smiley for times like this.

    Could you imagine JT and Weasel going at it with whimsical smilies? It would take all the punch out of their words.

    I would WIN becausse I wouldn't use the nice ones! I'd use the fencers, and the beer-mug smashers, and the boxers, and the nucalar nuclere nuceer ah dammit the atomic bomb smileys and i would WHOMP jack with smileys, that's probly why he voted against them (I used my secret decoder ring to check on his vote).

    I have used a few of my favorites from elsewhere for some time. I had no idea that ATTroll had a problem with this - I know Rock and Dixi don't. Rock likes the smileys and is responsible for the extra ones already on this site. Dixi uses them frequently. Personally, I don't see it as as disrespectful YMMV

    I saw it but thought you were saying it tongue-in-cheek. I know you joke around with us on a regular basis. As I see it, the 'fun' part of the site is what keeps the regulars with a lot of knowledge coming here. It gets boring real fast answering the same questions over and over and doing nothing else. This is why the strictly on-topic hiking sites don't have nearly the participation, standing or rating with services like Alexa that this site has.

    I was half-kidding and half serious. I voted for no mo' smilies. Ain't needed, too distracting. Some similies do help clarify the intent of the comment, since we cannot see facial expressions. And some are overused and abused. Makes you want to say, "Bad smiley, bad!"

    a Sgt Icon that says "NO SNIVELLIN' TROOPER!!!!!!!!!"Or perhaps one that says:

    "PULL YOUR DAMN PANTIES UP SOLDIER AND GET BACK IN THE GAME!!!!!"
    .....Someday, like many others who joined WB in the early years, I may dry up and dissapear....

    i think using them in the humor forum would be alright. use them all over and they would lose their charm.
