This thought has been wandering around for a while now, but I thought I'd try and help out these lovely folk at TR by giving them a ready made request list for further emoticons.

We don't have [i]that[/i] many on the board, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to give us some more...would it?! :p

Personally, I definitely need an angel emoticon. (Believe that, you believe anything!) :D I could also do with something British - a Union Jack smiley? Or a smiley wearing a Union Jack waistcoat? (yeah, I know it's now called a Union Flag....by others, not me)

This could really be taken to extremes if it is thought about too much - pregnant members get to use smileys with bumps, those with babies get lots of little smileys along with the mother smiley....you get the drift!

So, make your own suggestions for emoticons, and your reasoning behind them. Let's get this list ready - just in case they ask for it in the near future.....

(and a personal emoticon of chocolate body paint with small brush wouldn't go awry, either.....!)

:x

1. Blushing ...

2. Clinking Pint Beer Glasses

These are a couple of the normal ones ... I will think up the mad ones in a minute ... Busy eating cake for now ...

ha, got ya you prevert!!

gg,

concidering that those emoticons are freely available from several different locations around the net, why would I say no?
~muttering~ downloading the emoticon sets available for phpbb will give you all of these at no cost.

by jaqui

they are public domain, as in freely downloadable from several locations. not one's I had to purchase.

I don't lose anything if they are downloaded.

by jdclyde

the "twisted" is JUST what we NEED!

I could really have used the "flipa" one yesterday too!

"Banger" would by my trademark.... (sounds better than it is)

although I don't see having moving ones all over the site.

still, a good list!

by hillbilly tech

I think that is a good Idea. Specially the choc. body paint, But sometimes to many to choose from might confuse the user & we don't want to do that. HA HA.

by gadgetgirl

and what evil thoughts were dancing in your head? Hmm? C'mon, give!

I only asked if you minded because those emoticons are on your page....I wasn't sure if you'd made the original purchase..... I was just being my usual honest non-thieving self.....

Now, if I can just find some way of getting the x-rated ones I got off my laptop before it dies, you may even get some from me.... in exchange for the choccy body paint one, of course!

what IS a prevert, btw? A perverted pervert?! (:p)

by jaqui

That you didn't figure this out.

prevert <- pre pervert / semi innocent
pervert <- pervert
provert <- professional pervert, can come up with filthy ideas from anything.
[ I've been a provert for a long time now. ]

by gadgetgirl

I, too, am saddened I hadn't figured that one out.

There was I thinking it was just a typo.

How wrong could I be?

As a fellow provert, I thank you for this post of pure enlightenment!

:D

Those of us old enough to remember the movie Dr Strangelove probably also remember Gen Jack Ripper using the term 'prevert' to describe those who were out to pollute his precious bodily fluids...

I'm dating myself with this one, I suppose.

by gadgetgirl

would be an exploding bomb emoticon.

For use with kiddyposters, to warn other users that they are a waste of space and time.

(no names, no pack drill)

Can we also consider either an X rated smiley, i.e. a smiley holding a sign which states X Rated, or a censorship ticket, for when idiots put links into posts which go directly through to possibly offensive sites?

Some users of this board trigger software notification when they access things they shouldn't, then they have to justify the access to their manager/IT department.

And yes, there is a link to one which is active at the moment, and no, I don't have to justify access; it's part of my job.

(and no, I'm not posting on here where it is)

1. You lightened me not by helium, but by bringing more light to my day

2. I was eating lunch at the time, splurted it all over the monitor when laughing, hence saving the swallowing of the food, and all calories entailed.

3. Well, petal, pass the helium, that ain't the only part of me that needs lightening!

:D

I don't know how to invoke anything other than a basic "Smiley". I'm assuming this is a skill developed through heavy IM use? (Not that I'd use any of them...)

by jdclyde

with the halo!

I am in need of this because as Mambo has been corrupted, it is up to me to become the new model of innocence on TR! :D

by rob mekel

by professing your love :X
That can't be innocent, can it?

but then again we all have to start somewhere with improving our lives :D

don't have one but may on one of the more chatting environments there is :P

by gadgetgirl

[b]ABSOLUTELY ZERO !!![/b]

oh - unless you mean an angel with a [i]slipped[/i]halo.....???

Why won't Mambo tell us who corrupted him? Something going on there, methinks!

:x

by dmambo

I remain the torch bearer for those pure of heart among us. JD, do not kid yourself that you could possibly be considered clean in spirit. You are like a demon corruptor trying to mold the minds of those still innocent.

Oh, wait; that's Sleepin' Dawg. ;)

by gadgetgirl

I think we should each have our own, whether they match our personalities, or our TR names?.

So?..

Me ? smiley with gadgets pouring out of every pocket/smiley painting choccy body paint over everything including duck

Dawg ? sleeping emoti-dog, which when roused barks loudly and shows teeth. Has duck permanently at his side

Jaqui ? (gotta be) smiley with long black hair, flailing whips and chains at all and sundry

Jck ? obvious one ? emoti-swill, complete with royal crown and sceptre (for prodding Max and jd with!)

Jdclyde ? smiley with large heart, big grin, studiously reading cookery book, and setting fire to the book at the same time?..

ITGirli ? studious smiley, with specs, avidly reading and turning pages continuously

Old Guy ? Aging smiley, long beard, walking stick, muttering but happy

Mark ? Texan emoticon! Hat, spurs, lasso, yee-haaing all over the place

NeilB ? mad professor emoticon, with lab coat and test tube over Bunsen burner??oh, hang on, he was on the Muppets, wasn?t he?.?

DMambo ? gotta be a red smiley, continuously blushing!

Stargazerr ? zoomy smiley going from pc to pc whilst avoiding salesmen!

OzMedia ? Hippy ?way-out? smiley, drinking coffee, smoking pot, prodding at keyboard

Max ? Smiley wearing suit, complete with bowler hat, which is doffed intermittently

Don?t have time to think up any more, but feel free to continue yourselves!

(Gosh that was fun, but I don?t have time to eat, now!)

Enjoy!

Giving the other ppl a great change on ripping your tongue out when y're babbling around and won't stop. (hehehe) :P

Rob

life is to short to not enjoy it

by old guy

that emoticon in a link you had yesterday and I figured you would wind up with it. However, I think the last one looked much better. This one may fit you better but the other one looked better. :)

by jaqui

after all I use the term frequently. :p

I just forgot exactly where I had heard it from.

by rob mekel

GG can arrange y're webcam from distance. Beware of the allmighty eyes. For fun is to be coming of this.;)
