Smiley Abuse

I'm not keen on smileys, I only use them when absolutely necessary. I mean, I don't think I've ever done :p or ;) or :D in normal conversation.

I really hate OcUK's wink smiley. I just detest it. I don't even know why!

Is it the actual smiley or the way in which people use it? :confused:. It can look quite patronising and smug I suppose!

Personally, I love smilies; I think they are a great way to enhance written communication in forums or MSN et al. :).
 
I like smileys, I think they can help convey the mood of the poster and help clarify the meaning in some cases :cool:

I probably use them too much :rolleyes: but I don't care :p

Can anyone tell me where I can get some of those animated ones people use sometimes? Is there somewhere you can download them or do you just pick them out of people's posts and stash them?

I pinch them from other people or other boards but there are several websites out there which supply smilies - if no-one else has posted I put some links up once I get home

I think we should get 'cheers' / 'toast' smiley ;) :D

Thanks Sam :)

I used to get pop-ups for smileys but I make a point of immediately closing and blocking any unwanted pop-ups as I wouldn't trust any company which uses such tactics.

The top three are the ones I've mainly pinched from, as I said I also get some from other forums

Hmmm... that one looks familiar!

:p

I didn't pinch that one from you - I went in search for some celebration and party ones and that was one of the ones I ended up with (I have probably pinched a few others though

I like using smileys but only in moderation, I don't like seeing loads of them on posts as it then becomes a bit distracting!

My favourite is :rolleyes: but I rarely use it unless I'm being sarcastic at myself as some people can take it the wrong way.
