Possible Emotes (warning gif heavy)

[Zina]

Why? We have a bunch of emotes right now that are different from the standard smiley face. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a theme involved when it comes to the emotes.

I think his point is that the emotes are of a different style than the others and might seem out of place.

Of course, that's kind of negated by the fact that we already have different styles.

   

And that was exactly my point. There's no set style or theme when it comes to the emotes. So I don't see how these would be considered "out of place" when there really isn't a "place" to begin with.

Holy crap he said it

[Netrogo]

Said what? That they're different and will seem out of place?

We have Kevin Freaking Sorbo with a Parrot as an emoticon. NOTHING is out of place here.

[Aridas]

It's just a picture. There are other pictures here and on other forums. Your want to put apples in our oranges and kumquats.

[Arcalane]

Oranges + Kumquats = Orangequats

So Apples + Orangequats = Appleorangequats?

but you have the option of not using the apples. no one's gonna make you use them. Keep your oranges and Kumquats and let the other people have the apples

[Aridas]

But we have way too many oranges and kumquats as it is, so why load a ton of apples on top of them? >_>

[bill]

This is a silly thread.

[Nikki]

get rid of some of them. the dude with the parrot..that...freaky one...and alot that just don't make sense and seem to be there just to fill up space.

[Zina]

All this talk of fruit is making me want a smoothie.
From now on, all our emotes will be of smoothies. Problem solved.

[bill]

I bow to your utter brilliance.

[Aridas]

Well then you're going to have to mix a few of the current ones, aren't you?

[Zina]

For smoothies? Ok.
Emote smoothies. Sounds delicious.

[Nikki]

ooo smoothies.
Yes. Smoothies solve everything!

[bill]

Smoothies and violence.

[Nikki]

and cookies. lots and lots of cookies.

Back on track!

i think we should have the Emotes ^^ they're really cool and...well..awesome XD

[Zina]

I think this is a good idea, and we should use these from now on.
I'd ask for your thoughts, but I feel I don't need them, as this idea is far too good.

[bill]

yes

[Nikki]

Zina= Pure Win

Yeah, I was looking for an excuse to post those three styles, and I thought your message was the best one to attach them to.

Holy crap he said it

Said what?  That there are already three styles, so adding a fourth shouldn't be a problem from a stylistic point of view?

Zina, those emotes are great.  One thing though--the faces should be green, not yellow.  You know I'm right.

Kevin Sorbo is not just taking up space.  He is perfect.  It's those darn smile-ish ones that are weird.

[Darkmoon]

18 demerits and a swift kick to the ass for anyone that disses the Kevin Sorbo emote.

Sorbo wants your heart!

[thegayhare]

Well take some Kevin Sorbet instead

[Eibborn]

Masterfully done, sir!

[Netrogo]

I wasn't dissing the Sorbo. Sorbo rocks! I was dissing Aridas and his bizarre facination with thinking there's a theme to the emoticons here when there REALLY I mean REALLY freaking isn't! Only a complete idiot would look at the long list of emotes here and think here's a them.

This    and this     Sure they fit in the same theme. But then you go further into the list and you compare this to


I am racking my brain Aridas and for the life of me I cannot see WHERE you see a theme in these, there's about 6 full series of emoticons in there and then a whole plethora of random crap that was plucked from the deepest bowels of the goddam internet.

If you just plain don't like the bunnies then come right out and say it cuz honestly there is no theme here, and if there is in some strange way I'd love for you to actually show us what you mean.

[Damaris]

Really, there is a theme.

What the admins find funny and/or useful.

And that is it.

Now THAT makes sense. I doubt that's what Aridas is aiming at as far as theme though. But atleast THAT one makes sense

[Aridas]

Well, I guess that's not up for debate, but anyway, I should try clarifying my point as much as I can remember at this point.

As far as I've seen across the interwebs, there are three types of forum emotes:

Smileys
Sprites
Pictures

And aside from the fact TGH's lack transparency and would look ugly on pretty much any theme of this forum, I feel it falls into some category between "weird thing" and "awfully boring looking", as far as my definition of those categories go, and that's with variance from image to image. Still, there's a lot of excess there that are likely not going to get added anyway, as they already have equivalents here.

Oh, and there's no emotion in those emotes

Yeah, so I think I covered all the negative, so my work here is done.
