D. V. Devnull Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hello, everyone... While reading through the forums earlier today, I tripped over this nifty emote image which user 'Denismage' (whom I thank for causing me to have this idea in the first place!!!) happened to use... (Image URL: http://www.di-rs.com/forums/style_emoticons/dark/shok.gif) ...and thought, "Now that is something we should add to Tip.It's set of emotes.", as it describes a feeling that (in my opinion) none of the other emotes we currently have happen to describe. So, I wonder what the rest of you think of it? Would you like to have this, too? :) Also, as to the 2nd half of my thread title... It hit me, "Why not leave it open for others to suggest an emote they think is worth adding?" :-k ... To which I then thought, "Yes, that would be a good idea, as it would spur more paths of discussion, and comparison arguments, which would make sure only the best options got added to the forums." :thumbsup: ... So, I'm leaving open the option for anyone else with an idea for an emote to add to suggest it here. SUGGEST AWAY!!!!!!! 8-) ~Mr. D. V. "Emotes, Anyone?"

RSBDavid Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Aren't they technically called "emoticons"? I would love to see more. :thumbsup: [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Aren't they technically called "emoticons"? Possibly. I just went with the first word I could think of. #-o BTW, here's another one, special for all those who give 'virtual cookies' to others around the forums... (Image URL: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Cookie.GIF) ... and yes, it would need a little shrinking before usage on these forums... But what do you think? Would it be good? :D ~D. V. "D'oh!"

Turtlefemm Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I like the twitching eye emote.. I have it on msn.. and use it pretty regularly... Not shock.. haha.. I think its best not to have a cookie on here.. While I'm sure it would probably get some use.. I like the imaginative images folks come up with to offer virtual cookies more than I would an emote that can just lazily be dropped into a post.

D. V. Devnull Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thank you for dropping in... Here's some quick thoughts to answer your reservations. :) Why can't we make our own? We have enough talent here to make some. If you wish to make some, go for it, and bring them back with you to this thread to suggest adding them to the forums. I am simply picking ones on the web because I lack the ability at this time, in part due to a brain that's having a little "artist's block" in trying to think up stuff. :oops: I think there's also a case of users claiming staff are being biased for choosing one emoticon over another...pretty sure that was the main reason for not having them. As I said in my earlier posts, I have invited discussion over each one that is displayed, such that there may be a quorum of users who ultimately wish to have one emote or another. This, logically, would therefore certify the emotes' validity to Tip.It Staff to be added to the Forum's options, as there would be both reasonable want and use. :geek: We already have a shocked face :o But, that one takes on more of a "What?!?!?" or "Uhhhhh..." persona... While the one I started this thread with is more of a 'about to turn into a nervous wreck' "Ggggaaaahhhh!!!!!" persona, far different from what the one we already have depicts. :| :shock: good for you? Just your usage of that emote proves what I just said up above in this post. You may not want it yourself, but for all that anyone can know, there may be a large enough group who would want something like that particular one. 8-) As for this..................... :idea: the amount of :twss: spam is enough. Cookie would cause mass internet breakdown. :twss: I have no idea what you are talking about. I can work on some animated ones tonight DV. Give me examples of something you would like to see. While I'm probably not going to come up with all the ideas, things like 'magic hats', 'ranged weaponry', and 'PvP' come to mind. Also, stuff like 'theiving', 'ninjas', and 'farming' would be interesting options to add to the selection, seeing as there are both fighters and skillers in RuneScape... :thumbsup: ~D. V.

dsavi Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I think we should work on making phpBB3 versions of the phpbb2 emoticons we have left. In fact, I found a pack of just that. And then lost it. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can download them, upload them to my Photobucket account & then post them here so that they can be added one by one?

D. V. Devnull Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Please do keep in mind, everyone, that I meant this thread to only be as a suggestion to expand the current répertoire of emoticons. Never to take away or overwrite any. In fact, I would agree with those who want some of the phpBB2 ones to return, but I would rather that they were added alongside the phpBB3 counterparts, even if that meant setting up a new grid of emote codes. :idea: Onward with the discussion and thoughts!!! :thumbsup: ~D.

Jimmyw3000 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Even better idea...we get rid of all PHPBB3 smilies except for :lol: :ugeek: :geek: :? :shock: , and we replace the remaining PHPBB3 ones with PHPBB2 ones. How does that sound? Btw, will it be possible to change the shortcut key for :x from :x to :anger: ? quite a few people are using : x to show they are being quiet/shy. and not because they're angry quick comparison between the 2 smily packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Warrior Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 To be honest, there's nothing even stopping you from using the emotes. If people felt a compulsive desire to use different emoticons to those provided by the forum they would just go do it themselves without Tip.It's help. There's enough sets out there... | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
