Ralphie, I can't bring up feelings for it either way.

I'd rather have annoying smilies than Leet speak and bad grammar, because they are avoidable and require no brain power. I resent the time needed to decode 13-year-old ramblings, and appreciate the party smiley as a sign to not read closely. It's okay.

That's true. It is like a warning for the post.

Nice looking at the bright side of life, Sparky.

I love it when dozens of people use the party smiley in the same thread. Like, if I were to say that it's my birthday, I would expect that every post following mine would have a party smiley. Isn't that, like, the awesomest thing ever?

Ralphie, they aren't dancing dudes.

They are little hooting tortured souls being crisped to death on a white-hot burner. That's why they're wearing sunglasses.

[Party]

Poor things. The one with the red balloon is trying to get away.

I'm going to 100 percent wholeheartedly agree with my pal Ralph here.

I hate the new smilies. Did we really need to have more ways to skip typing out our emotions? It seems they're now an excuse for the 13 year olds to say something without saying anything.

I hate online hugs. Hate them.

These two items will lead to the ultimate destruction of the rack as we know it.

Now, get off my lawn, sonny.

Greaaaaaaaaat, now you've given me an image of them all singing Buster Poindexter's "Hot!Hot!Hot!". Like they weren't annoying enough, now you had to go and give them an earworm. I'm gonna have nightmares now!

I'm with you on the smilies, Ralphie, though I have to add my dislike of this one: [Wall Bash]

What's worse than a party smiley in every post is when people insist on putting eight of them in every post.

And the only thing worse than that is the silly rainbow wave smiley thing.

You know, what really bugs me about Hatrack is that people here refuse to acknoledge me as the supreme dictator of the world. It just gets on my nerves, but they still insist on it. Horrible!

And since there's been a surprising lack of affirmation of the hilarity caused by Ralphie and CT, I gotta testify.

I hate the fact that Orson Scott Card (the real one) never posts even to say hello. Then again, at least we won't have a whole thread filled with bowing smilies.

Any posting that would let me join deffineatly goes down hill.

Ralphie regarding the Geriatic Disco guys, I must admit, I don't get them either.

Once upon a time when this brand new thing came out called AOL we used to have to smile like this : )

Now we do this [Smile]

And now this [Party]

Is this truly a step forward in the evolution of man? Are we better off by having the ability to express our emotions in a series of mutant happy faces? Will Scotty find out that Laura is really in love with Luke?

Well.... [Dont Know] [Party] [Party] [Party] [Party]

Oh and another reason why hatrack is going down hill, is when new user try to edit their posts and end of with four extra mutant disco peoples.

I would try to fix it (again) but I am sure I would make it worse.

You know, Ralphie, I'm thinkin' you dont really hate that enslaved little grape. I'm thinkin' you kind of like its subserviant mien and ingratiating genuflection. Maybe, you even posted it just so you could watch it bowing to you, over and over and over...

But the creepy geriatric party does suck. So depressing, like a Florida beach in winter. So much wrinkly skin and clicky teeth. Yuck.

edit: DAMN IT!!!! I did it again. I didnt see that stupid second page and posted replying to the last page. AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit again: you know, I also didnt think to look at the dates of posting and realize they were 2 years old. Was this thread just osme kind of trap to humiliate the impetuos and hurried among us? And those of us who cant spell? Cause if so, it worked, my friends, it worked.
