Well considering we are much more likely to get more new smileys (or :mwaha: back), if we take some old ones out, does anyone want to suggest some we should eliminate?

For instance:
:aargh: - covered by the more popular [pissed]
:smug: anyone use it? okay nevermind, everyone wants it
:o of the few people that actually understand it, have you seen anyone in the history of the site use it?
:cringe: useful, but it's not used that much
:undecide: few people seem to know it exists, and it doesn't really do a good job of displaying an "undecided" message
 
i use most of those from time to time, except for the middle red one. i never found a use for it and really don't get what it means (if you hover your mouse over it, it says "embarrassment"), but it looks like it is yawning to me. Get rid of this!: :o

These are IMO either rarely used or just plain dumb:

Whaaat - these are cool - how would you express yourself if you found out that there is a 256 building limit in the civ3 editor and you needed 350-400 if not through these smilies : [pissed]:cry::suicide:.
There are to few depressive smilies IMO. If these would be erased then there would only be: :( and :sad: .

I like all those. In fact, I couldn't find :undecide: when I needed that smilie, so I had to go to Apolyton and steal theirs (

How could you even suggest getting rid of :smug:

The ones I feel should be gotten rid of

[civ3mac] Die macs die!
:smoke:
:sniper:
:nya:
:aargh:
:agree: but i saw quite a few ppl use :scan: so maybe it shouldn't be erased.
 
I have an idea - maybe TF should make a multi-choice, 30 days poll with what smilies he is considering to take out.
