[Forum] vBulletin emotes.

Forum


Suggestion title:
Updating the vBulletin forum emoticons.

Suggestion description:
Basically, we're living in 2015 - not 2008/2009
I'm not saying we should add new emotes but at least replace the current one with newer.
The current emotes are kinda LQ and their design isn't that neat or shall I say not very compatible with the black orange forum design.
Moreover, it won't hurt anyone changing them with something different and cooler for instance;



ToS - none, free for use.



ToS - none, free for use.



ToS - couldn't find any, probably free for use seeing that it can be downloaded on dA without paying for it.

keeping " " would be nice

Rather see these, since these are clean. I am well aware these are used on Whatsapp/various programs on your phone.

[Michi]

I like the bomb.


OT; Yeah updating the current emoticons with the newer ones would be nice. But not too many, we'll have a chatbox full of them. ;-;

Do you mind explaining which faces we'd have to use/input to "make" these faces? Like, y'know how we have to use : and @ to make - There are a lot of emojis in those 3 images, there would be a lot of symbols we'd have to remember to show them. Good addition as long as you can figure out a list of symbols we'd have to use for them, I'm all for it.

Bring back the locked emote

[Eddie]

I'm game for this idea, especially if they're the Apple emojis. Idk anything about the TOS for those though so idk how easy it is to retrieve permission to use them. Anything new would be great tbh. Hell add a huge variety if possible. Yes there's the argument that the emotes will get spammed, but anything can get spammed, including the small handful of emotes we currently have now. There are rules and moderators for a reason.

But not too many, we'll have a chatbox full of them. ;-;

Instead of worrying that chat box will be fully spamed with icons we could introduce new rules in chat box as lot of emotes spamming will results in in stand mute for 2-3 mins.

Well, George Even I support this

[GeorgeGFX]

For those who keep saying that the chatbox will be spammed a lot with newer emoticons and so on, I said that if anything, just replace the current one with newer one - not add completely new one because it will be a mess, if Dave approves this I'll make sure to discuss it with him before he does any changes regarding emotes.

Also @Dave, please bring back the emoticon with the "Locked" sign :s

[Dave]

I'd rather stick to the current emoticons.
