Omg yes.

Is it possible to revert it to normal and choose which one you want to use or see? Or maybe say "We have not-crowned and crowned smilies. You use 'em as you see fit."?

Move zig for great justice, and vote for the old smilies.
Callus2007-02-19 08:08:34
Yes! Praise Sham for making this poll.

It's not that the crown smilies are bad in terms of design... it's just, some of them look utterly sick with that crown on their head. Old smilies for great justice!

Hrm. They looked more to me like someone got a Sunday newspaper and folded paper pirate hats out of the ads sections.

At any rate, they are horribly ugly. Please stop making me have to look at them.

EDIT: No, I didn't make those hats as a kid, I swear. -eyeshift-

Damn you American republicans with your anti-English sentiments. Think how great the world would be if you were still a colony!

Up with the Monarchy! VOTE FOR CROWNED SMILIES.

A VOTE FOR CROWNED SMILIES IS A VOTE FOR ENGLAND

What's wrong with you people? I voted no just on the principle. Change happens and you should adapt, right? That's what I'm always hearing, anyway. Use all the other 200 smileys that don't have crowns, if you want. Sheesh.

Suddenly I feel like I should be British.
Laysus2007-02-19 23:02:27
I'm british and pro-monarchy, and even I have to vote no for the fugly smilies >.>

Seriously, the smilies aren't that bad. As it's been said before, there are tons of other smilies you can use if you don't like these. I happen to think they're cute. Ideally, you'd have the option (as with the skins) to use either the base images or the new ones, but it honestly doesn't matter to me either way. I don't post to or read the forums based on their appearance.

Side note: If this is the most pressing issue on the forums, judging by the enthusiastic responses, we must have it pretty darned good right now.

You can't use the happy or sad ones, though. I like them. I would at least like the option of being able to pick between the two!

Oh, I agree. As I said, that would be the ideal circumstance, but I'm not going to go so far as to boycott the forums or post things in my signature demanding they be changed. If someone else wishes to do so, it's their prerogative, but it seems a bit excessive to me.

See, I don't like the crowned smilies terribly much, but I don't even care enough about the issue to even post in this threa...... oops : (

Are you people still griping about this?
Elostian2007-02-20 07:38:13
Yes, Verithrax, you're not involved. Quick, say something horrible about the people the complain about smileys, or your reputation will be ruined forever.
