I believe I am one of the VERY few who use the message icons (albeit I only use the :cool: symbol). Look through the posts, everyone only uses note with the tack in it. Has anyone else noticed this? -------------------- My name's Solberg. Pronounced Sol-Berg. Exile/Avernum's Greatest LIVING Archmage! I'm sure you've heard of me at some point.

I don't feel the need to use an icon unless it has some close relation to the post. I have used the arrow, lightbulb, caution, question, cool, sad, grin, and thumbs up icons. Jeff tends to use the lightbulbs a lot, though. Maybe because he's an exceptionally bright person, or perhaps he's looking for a virtual tan. :D -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

I ignore them entirely. I don't use them and I don't look at them. I don't like emoticons, graemlins, smilies, or any of their ilk very much, and having the opportunity to use another one doesn't fill me with joy. —Alorael, who supposes he should have put more effort into it.

I just keep thinking about how some people always use the sunglasses one, and it really annoys me... But yeah, I've used some of them, but 98% of the time I'll just stick with the default. I somehow feel like my IQ dropped a point just now. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

It's hard enough to write text that's coherent and relevant.

It's work for no payoff, so no thank you. Besides, Dikiyoba thinks most of them are ugly. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

-cautiously directs thread back in proper, wholesome direction- I don't necessarily like or dislike the message icons. I genreally don't use them unless I am making a point. Emoicons and graemlins, on the other hand, well... sometimes there are better ways to communicate than with words. But only sometimes. -------------------- The Silent Assassin wishes to make it clear that anyone who wishes to quote him out of context will promptly get slapped upside the head with an official despair.com frowny. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

I think we have some circumstantial evidence now that using more message icons results in more spam, not better posts. Pushpins all the way! Originally by Lenar: quote:Yes, Dikiyoba had to do that. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I think it's funnier if you use an ellipsis and make it a real quote. -------------------- The Silent Assassin refuses to dignify this post with a sig. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?
