dsavi Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Ok, I searched and I saw something similar to this- wow, I didn't know that so many smileys are user-made! But there are so many smileys that we don't need. Like :!: :?: :arrow: :idea: and I have only seen :boohoo: about once or twice before. So why not replace them with user-made ones? Personally, I would love to donate some. I want to do what I can for the awesome tip.it forums! But, well, I am not the best graphic designer. Never have been, and I doubt that I will improve. And I know there are people out there that want to show off their talent and help TIF like me. So why not have a date every year when someone creates a sticky, possibly in this forum, where people can post their home-made smileys, and then people vote on the best one? I've had this idea for a long time. Please don't flame, and, uh, I hope I'm not spamming, re-creating a thread, etc. *crosses fingers* Hey, that would be a good one...

Kaphias Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 By my memory, the smiles come with the forum, and when you set up the forum, you choose which ones you want people to be able to use. So I don't know how easy it would be to implement totally new designs. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't know how easy it would be to implement totally new designs. Easier than you make it sound. I have a forum, and all it requires is to host it on something like imageshack and type the url into the smilies configuration on the admin panel, and hey presto, new smiley.

InkofDeath Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This isn't impossible in the scripting part, I would hopefully think. I like all the emotions so far. I don't really see the need for any new ones. Although I may be wrong and tif may need some better ones. I like the annual contest though, sounds like a good community involvement activity. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragontotem Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 i agree with skatedog where he says that TIF has good smileys already, i dont think its necessary for more =/ [/url]">[4Th in Finland to achieve 99 mining. 3Rd of June 2007]Pixels make me horny.

The_Sith Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 There are many smilies out there for PhpBB boards. I like the idea of having more contests and community involvement but I don't think smilies are the best "media." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, and I really do think Tip It, and TIF need a lot more community involvement then what there is now. Obviously it may take time to develope ideas on how to. Sure will be worth it, if implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll brainstorm tonight, and tomorrow...and if your still open for idea's forever 8-). But perhaps contests, in different categories, say Most Mature Poster Of the Month(This really isn't a contest-.-). Possibly other contests like that. Also a contest of artwork? Maybe also Trainer of the month..etc? Aside from contests, and that mature poster isn't a contest, perhaps something that doesn't get someone a rank on forums, but they hold special events..such like the tip it forum events, they're a special guest there or something...=/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone votes on the mod they want gooonnee (admin are excluded) and who they see isn't performing up to TIF standards, and the person with the most votes gets the flick! :P Although it won't ever happen it'll make the mods a lot more careful in how they act towards the general TIF public.

Laikrob Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 We already have the monthly Sack-a-User contests on the Mod/Admin boards, so something more innovative would be nice. We can't reuse all ideas. (That was a joke, just incase anyone wondered.) You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe.

I see now. to elaborate on my one note of fav mod: Different categories such as: Favourite Mod Favourite Admin Overall Favourite 1-499 most favourite mod/admin 500-999 most favourite mod/admin 1000-3000 most favourite mod/admin 3001+ msot favourite mod/admin *The number represents post count, and what category the user may vote in and nominate, depending on their post count.

Errdoth Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 There are plenty of smiley packages available, what's to stop someone from ripping one off of those, or why not just suggest to the admins to download a different smiley pack that you would like added. I would enjoy seeing, and possibly participating in more contests with the reward being a custom rank. Perhaps a "Suggest a Rank Contest" sticky, where people post their idea for a contest, and the idea is polled and then used?

pokemama Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Actually the large chunk of smileys we currently have are due to our Forum Admin graciously consenting to add some good smileys that we were formerly missing. I have to agree that the violin one isn't all that useful (or used) {plus it messes up the spacing in the list lol - sshhhh!} I'd like a smiley for >.< (we have a laughing one, this would be an upset one). There's another smiley I want, but I can't think of it right now, lol. >.< it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.

InkofDeath Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Poke, yes smilees are missing, that violin one is used a lot, i think I see it everyday tbh-.-. But the smilees have some kind of tif essence on them. And adding some more to them may through that essence off, or make them under-used... If more are put on, they better be by a community poll.
