Tendo City

Go to the admin control panel, look at the URL for the broken smilies... you'll quickly see that they aren't on TC...

Um, I wasn't doubting you ABF... I was just asking WHY they weren't on our server and saying they all should be from now on. How could you take that any other way?

But I already answered that question! We are all lazy, and didn't bother to upload the images either... that'd require dealing with the FTP and stuff... :D

So it'd require finding the same smilies and then uploading them to the site, which would actually be pretty easy. I just don't have the time for it.

I don't know where to find those missing smilies... I want them back! Some are cool... and we need the chainsaw. :)

Might as well remove them from the list anyway to get rid of the clutter.

No! We need those names and addresses to see which ones to try to find!

....oops...

Noooooo! Bad DJ! Bad!

What?! I was just about to go fix those smilies!! [/obvoius lie]

Yeah, right. We got right on it after OB1 pointed out that they were broken... :D

Well, at least I added one I noticed was already on the server (the star wars thingy). I'm also moving all the other smilies that are working but aren't on our server TO our server, and changing the links. This... may take a bit...

That will be time consuming... and a couple are linked to attachments, not other sites... :)

Oh yeah, and now that you zapped 16 smilies we need some new ones.

Anyone know where we can find a NEW chainsaw smilie? We need more like that... and the other Samurai one, etc...

Yes, I got those ones too ABF... (Just in case the uploaded files are purged any time in the future...)

Those were zapped long before I got to them. I just removed the dead links.

Well, everything's working now so OH MY SWEET MERCIFUL HEAVENS WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! Seems 5 of those smilies didn't get saved right. I have no idea why but I couldn't save those as gifs, but the rest came down perfectly fine. I suppose I'll have to search through the magical cache to find them. Fortunatly, they all seem magically organized at the bottom of the list (wow). Unfortunatly, a couple of them are cool, like the met one.
:Pepper:

Yeah, that's what happened to them... Well, I'll see what I can do. This'll be a lesson. Check and make sure whatever you get from some site was downloaded correctly!

Edit: Forget cache searching!

Unanimated animated gifs just aren't the same...

I know! They ARE worse and this just won't do! Stop saying the obvious!

Yah, ABF. That was kind of stupid.

Of COURSE an animated GIF wouldn't be the same if it weren't animated.. that would mean that it's not even animated, thus becoming an UNanimated GIF!!

All right, I upload some smilies to my website and put them on the forum.

:confused2:



:nosey:

:rofl2:

:shock:

:weird:

We already have the rolling on the floor one...

As for the others, remove the white border from that nosy one. The rest, well what do the rest of you think? Should we add them?

There, I fixed the rolling on the floor one, it had the same tag as the one we already had.

Btw, I've already added those to our site.

Oh for the love of... I thought we agreed we'd upload them and THEN add them to the site! Well, I guess I'll have to fix this...

I've got them on my website, so they aren't likely to go anywhere.

DJ... so some are ones we have similar ones to. So? We want as many as possible! 500 sounds like a nice round number... :D

Trailer was alright, though it took an hour to download. Looks very realistic; looks like they added a grim reaper character maybe...? Spooky.

Um ABF, he had one that wasn't "kinda" like one we already have. It WAS one we already have. He fixed it already though. Thus, your confusion.

I watched the trailer for Scary Movie 3. It looks like its going to be a VERY funny movie...not that that has anything to do with what we're discussing, but anyway.

Quote:looks like they added a grim reaper character maybe...?

Yeah, that thing looks pretty cool.

Ah. Well my point about needing more smiles stands. :)

Yes, STANDS UNCHALLENGED I might add. I didn't say a thing about that :D.

I'll challenge it!

You know why we need less smilies? Yes, you do. I know it, you know it, Grumbler knows it as he's slowly and stealthily slipping his fingers down his pants in the corner as he watchs the Scary Movie 3 trailer again.

The reason is simple, and it is this: the more smilies we have, the lower the average IQ of this board drops! Before you know it, these cute little smilies will take these boards by storm, infesting every single post they can. These smilies a:Sre DANGEROUS. Oh, sure they'll start out as an inncent little complement to your average Black Falcon post of anti-logic and anti-em:otion... but then they'll m:love:ve onto more serious business, like undermining OB1's posts that belittle others. Sure, you'll say, "But Beaner, that's a GOOD thing! Then we won't have to feel inferior to his pmpous ego over this gl:Srious community!" Friends, I ask you this: without OB1 berating our every mistake, who will we LOOK UP to to tell us what we're doing wrong and refine our disgustingly imperfect personalities?!?

Before you know it, these smilies will begin attracting A:evil:L users who think their cutesy appearance is enough incentive to visit back every day and bombard us with their corrupt A:evil:L values and ideas! These evildoers will stop at NOTHING!

Then, once these perverse smilies have become such a c:weird:mmn part our every day routine, we won't take notice when they start inserting THEMSELVES into our posts. They'll start with the mst subtle places, like replacing themselves with O's, and then, pretty soon, we'll have completely discarded with the English language and simply speak with smilies. Is THAT what you want? Oh, sure, then instead of reading 100,000 word posts shot back and forth between OB1 and Black Falcon, we can simply read:




:stupid:


:cuss:
:p

:troll:

:snow:
:weird:
:hmm:


(try to guess who's who)

...and we won't have to guess whether DJ's jking or not. With smiliese, he'll INVARIABLY be j:shock:king! I mean, who could take this seriously: ?

In c:evilha:nclusion, smilies will help everyone and make this community a better place, and hence, we much embrace this new way :)f life as s:(:Dn as p:rofl2:ssible. :stick: :fairy: :snow: :love:

Good gravy, I'm gone for two days and this whole place goes to hell! You people are stupid! Stupid and little!

Hey, what?! Having lots of smilies may cause the average intelligence of the forum to drop, but without our smilies are we any better than animals?! Can we truly say that we are civilized if we do not have smilies to taunt and amuse one another?! I think not! That's why we need more smilies! To prove that we are superior to the other pathetic being of this planet who have no smilies! Someday soon we will only communicate with smilies and only then we will truly be MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!

I was just belittling you to appease beanjo.

Appeasement?! Hah! Appeasement is for woosies and the French! We must rely on force to obtain more smilies!

Wait, but I wasn't talking about smilies.

I need to lead the den blait.

...

Fuszem.

Use of some smilies is good. Use of too many is bad... but its still nice to have the variety. :)

Yeah, variety is the spice of life! Except in this case I think it's just another example of our own gross stupidity...but, either way we need more smilies!!
