The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

New Emoticons?

Would you like something more....dinosaur related?

I know the owner of this board and I'll see if I can use these ones that they have. :)  Would you like these ones or are the yellow smileys fine?  Should we use a blend?

Even though those emoticons are more dinosaur related I'd personally prefer the "human" emoticons. So if picking up the dinosaur emoticons meant abandoning the human ones I'd rather stick to those we have right now. But of course this is just my oppinion and what the majority here thinks is what matters.

What does it matter really? We can all understand what he's doing... A couple of newbies won't go far wrong though. Would you have to substitute the old ones for the new lot?

No....you can add new ones so I guess if you wanted to use some of the dinos you could and if you didn't you can use the human ones....

I put a few dino ones in and left the human ones so you can choose to what you want to use. ;)

I thought I'd give them a try at least.  If you don't like them, don't use them. *shrugs*

I agree that the dinosaur emoticons are a nice addition. As none of the human faces had to be abandoned for them I see only advantages of bringing the dinosaurs up. Good going Arvens!
