Please? So many uses.

To illustrate the very many kitten threads.

To diffuse tension when bunfighting

Because they're nice.

Wine and Thanks

Er, no.

DameHermione · 16/05/2012 20:38
Shock

Helen could you do a mnhq poll? And go with the majority? Rather than this somewhat dubious dictatorial thing you have going this evening.

DameHermione · 16/05/2012 20:39

And we aren't allowed to get excited about puppies in the same way.

Pleeeeeeeeease [kitten]

Oh Helen, I you used to be my favorite..

SecretNutellaFix · 16/05/2012 20:39

Aw, was quite like my dictatorial mode...

Yes please, a kitten emoticon is essential. Everyone on MN except me has a kitten/pregnant cat just turn up on their doorstep. Envy

HelenMumsnet · 16/05/2012 20:42

But seriously - and all pet-predilections aside - we are having a bit of a moratorium on new emoticons for the moment.

Tech is having enough trouble keeping the site from falling over as it is. Think he might self-combust if we added anything else to his workload...

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 20:44

It's only a teeny tiny kitten emoticon. He could do it dead quick before kitten season is over.

Could we not have Jubilee or Olympic ones though? Just kittens ta.

DameHermione · 16/05/2012 20:45

Hmmmmm. I don't believe you HelenTheKittenHater.

Whst if we trade in the stupid biscuit or the bear or the wink? A [kitten] would be so much more useful.

ah but how can you ignore the lovelyness of this

BIWItheBold · 16/05/2012 20:48

If Tech stopped skipping off the pub all the time he might get through his workload a bit more quickly.

Just saying.

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 20:50

Also v lovely

ha!

It's HelenTheDogPreferer, actually

fridakahlo · 16/05/2012 20:52

Are we allowed to know why the site is nearly falling over
-besides tech vanishing off to the pub?

usualsuspect · 16/05/2012 20:54

Get rid of the stupid pom bear if you need to get rid of any emoticons

Jamdoughnutfiend · 16/05/2012 20:55

If we get a kitten we need a puppy - specifically a french bulldog puppy ( see profile for example of gorgeousness!) please and thankyou!

Sunnywithachanceofshowers · 16/05/2012 20:55

Another one with a request for kittens.

But please don't kill the pom bear :(

HelenMumsnet · 16/05/2012 20:56

Brief version: we have lots of sparkly new things and need to do some work to make sure our servers can keep on supporting all the new sparkling well and properly.

Can ask Tech to come along and talking about "clustering" and other geeky stuff, if you like?

DameHermione · 16/05/2012 20:57

I was hoping once we had the [kitten] i could then start campigning for a [dachshund]

Sorry: forgot to quote Blush

That was to fridakahlo

usualsuspect · 16/05/2012 20:57

Sparkly things? you mean like tickers Shock

Jamdoughnutfiend · 16/05/2012 20:58

[frenchbulldog] stamps foot

BIWItheBold · 16/05/2012 20:59

Can I book Tech for later? Only I'm having a bit of trouble sleeping at the moment. About 2.00am would be perfect.
