:rolleyes:

It serves no useful purpose and anyone who uses it looks like a twat in the process.

OK, scratch that, maybe it is useful for weeding out twats but it still should be axed.

Not a big smiley fan in general, but really, there's a hundred better ones than that one out there and I'd be happy to see basically anything else take its place.

Personally, I'd like to see some better-looking directional/joystick and button icons put into place. The ones in there now are amateurish and detract from the look of the site.

As for the :rolleyes:, it seems to serve a more useful function than stuff like :multi_co:, :drool:, :emb:, :mad_2:, :annoyed: (which mostly can't be seen on the dark background), :mr_t: (which is just lame), :eek_2:, :p (which conveys more amusement than annoyance, in my mind), or :vik:. I've seen a few good ones on some other forums, though.

This one, I think, would be most appropriate here:

I was referring specifically to this one: :annoyed:

You can't see the little anime vein-bulge or whatever it's supposed to be on a dark background. Either way, it's lame.

I guess, but really, they are just a load of stupid pics at the end of the day, no point getting worried about em

Oh, not denying that. But I still hold that the joystick/button diagrams look crude and should be replaced by something a little more refined, given the basis of the forum.

Oh yeah, let's update the directional icons for our grand gameplay forum, they would make a highly appreciated addition to in-depth threads like "what's your fave KoF" and "do yo likke Iori's hair".

Damn you Average Joe, I just used that smiley for the first time in a long time today- I thought it was warranted. Though I know it's not the smiley itself- but the irritating misuse of said smiley- that bothers you.

Oh, and take this you jerk!

:rolleyes:

If anything i'd like to see those two removed.

They are the worst.

The lol one is annoying and in almost 6 years of being on this board I still haven't figured out what the fucking bouncing guy is supposed to represent.
