Really.
This must be the only place on the net with just eight measly smilies. |
Worry not fellow members, the moderation team has already lobbied on your behalf for more emoticons and I can say that it's probably something you can expect in the future.
You’ll have to leave it to Steve/Erin for any official feedback on this matter, and I'm not sure exactly when you’ll see more emoticons (I have an idea, but for now I'm going to say "you'll have to wait and see"), but if you’d like to increase your chances of getting some new ones, my advice to you would be to come up with a reasonable set (ie. nothing too elaborate) of non-copyrighted (ie. free) emoticons that contribute to the existing emoticons or serve as suitable replacements and let Steve know where he can find them (ie. by providing a link or something).
I’d also make sure that any recommendations include sets of both animated and non-animated emoticons, since, while I'm sure Steve will consider animated emoticons if they are beneficial to the forum, I can’t guarantee Steve will use animated emoticons (although he might -- don't quote me on that).
Edit: Nevermind what I said about animated emoticons. For more info see Steve's post below. (For the record, I happen to agree with Steve. Animated emoticons have their advantages, but I think a forum -- or at least this particular forum -- is more suited to static, non-animated emoticons.)
