why are there so few emoticons? especially on a board whose users have wild imaginations, expressive personalities
i'm active on another board, damngoons, which has a stupendous display of emoticons, one for every possible situation lol
roadkill is my friend on goons, and i notice that here on bcfurs, he's forced to use the bobbing green blob over and over (it's the only emoticon that shows even a little personality)
personally, i don't use emoticons much, i like my text to speak for itself .. but i think a lot of folk are very attached to their EMOTISONAS
maybe it's all a SMF issue -- that their software sets a max on emoticons

It's a lack of ambition to add emoticons, not really a limit.

There's no limit to emoticons, but adding hundreds would clutter up the posting screen.
Even something as small as emoticons can change the look and feel of a board. I'll talk it over with the admin folks and we'll see how that goes.

Most forums display the first 20 or so icons with a button for more. In fact, every other forum I've seen does. I wouldn't be surprised if this one truncates after a certain number as well.
One way to find out, I suppose.

Strongly against the idea unless there's a way to turn off visibility of all emoticons.

Or at least a tab that has a drop-down (kind of like what you have on MSN)

Emoticons are good for replacing emotional states, voice inflections, or other forms of non-verbal speech on forums...so tell me folks, what kinds of emoticons are we missing?
How do you like the default emoticons, should they be updated?
