BecauseImWorthIt · 30/05/2008 18:24

Sheesh - you go an have a lie down with a headache and look what happens when you're better.

Maybe MN was suffering in sympathy with me?

Dottydot · 30/05/2008 18:22

Yes, back to usual MN name.

For the moment.... (clearly can't trust BigTech - he needs keeping an eye on).

RickyTigerfeetson · 30/05/2008 18:21

I've just looked at a thread where someone gave the OP a smile....it looked like they were implying that the OP was an utter nutjob.

they just aren't expressing what they are meant to express therefore not fit for purpose and MUST go!

Oh leave poor old BigTech alone will you - he didn't mean it, whatever he's done...

I'm tempted to say it serves you right you old fuddy-duddies - had you embraced the "MN improvements" your emoticons would not have changed - but instead I'll say,

Goodness me, we're not sure how this has occured but we'll look into it right away and rest assured all emoticons will be returned to their right and proper state asap.
A thousand apologies for the inconvenience.

zippitippitoes · 30/05/2008 17:44

i have got a revolutionary name but i am too embarrassed to use it

new emoticons are barfingly shite

lackaDAISYcal · 30/05/2008 17:43

Is BigTech new then?

first flouncers' corner, now this.

TheSmiler · 30/05/2008 17:39

CodGuevara · 30/05/2008 17:36

its men isnt it?

lackaDAISYcal · 30/05/2008 17:30

now if only I could think of a revolutionary name

the sad one is just too awful for words (why is it turquoise???)

BRING BACK OUR OLD SMILEYS

ChippyMinton · 30/05/2008 17:14

no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no

Tis too moderne...
Can we have the old ones back on the 'classic' view at least purlease?

ArrietyClock · 30/05/2008 17:14

Oh for heavens sake.... they are hideous. Feel like I've regressed 20 years to some hideous reincarnation of my teenage years. Didn't think I would ever have an opinion about emoticons but quite frankly it's enough to bring on a flounce. Guess I've just figured out what that thread is for. Started in a timely manner, don't you think?!

HQ should be careful. If we all flounce to a single thread the site may get top heavy and keel over.....

WatTylermoonfiend · 30/05/2008 17:12

What do we want?
civilised emoticons...!!
When do we want them?
Now!!

Hmm, perhapsd I had better perfect my slogan...doesn't flow terribly well...

oooggs · 30/05/2008 17:03

hideous [ sad ]

MrsWeasley · 30/05/2008 16:51

Thanks but I wish you hadn't = vomit.

Why would anyone want one of those?? They make our new "friends" look kind of "cute"!

Going to wash the computer now

Moosma · 30/05/2008 16:49

[ shock ] they're nasty!

[ angry ] at change.
