So, we've got some new emoticons now

Bit on the small side, but still... zombies, right?

ZOMBIES.

Whaddya think? Too cutesy? Not enough viscera? Do tell!

 

[KennedyKiller]

Lol, dude. I think that's priceless. Not too cutsey at all. In fact, just the right amount of cutsey...

 

[Meg]

I love them! They are really funny.

 

[Springhosen]

I think they're adorable.

Spoiler

Especially this one. :nom: He's so cute!

 

[Loki]

Zombies on a trampoline... :horde:

 

[Hel]

I don't like them to be honest, and I think the smileys have been getting worse with every update. Now with those zombies, I can't even tell what emotions most of them are supposed to represent anymore, but that's fine, I don't have to use them.

 

[Mr Sunshine]

I can barely see them.

:dead:

Is that a zombie in a thong? Didn't think that that was your kind of thing!

 

[Steve]

Hmm... really should have added a poll or something or some such. I don't really tend to use emoticons myself, so I'm not desperately fixing to replace them, but if anyone can find any better alternatives, I'd get 'em swapped over in a flash (provided they're free and the license is applicable).

Just wish they weren't so blummin' titchy.

 

[Hel]

The ones we had before weren't bad. Maybe you can do it like the Facebook chat and offer various sets of different smileys to pick from? So the people who like the zombie smileys can still use them.

Thank you for new emoticons, I thought we needed more and I had been thinking about suggesting something but I never got to it.

But I think the new ones are unsuitable, I don't understand most of them because they are so small. It should be easy to see what an emoticon is expressing, that's why we have emoticons in the first place. The new zombie emoticons are not doing the job. Hovering the mouse over them gives a clue of what they mean, but it's rendering them pointless as an effective way of expression.
I don't mind if the new ones are in addition to the old ones, but please don't say it's meant as a replacement.

Though, a couple of the zombies are okay. I like this one :nom: , for some reason it reminds me of tremor.


And thanks for making the avatars bigger (square), but why not make use of the available space and increase the size a few pixels? What about 100x100 for regular members, and 115x115 (or 120x120) for gold members? Gold members already have a 2x file size limit, but the pixel limit is the same.


Btw the quick links to Contact, Help, and Staff, are all broken.
