Re: Most useless smilie?
That’d be very good idea, for now we have to decide which one is the real most useless

Re: Most useless smilie?
Some Rayman-centric ones would be pretty cool! Some faces made in Rayman 1 come to mindPluMGMK wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 8:49 pm Oh yes, I remember that being your favourite! Interesting how you've done an about-face on that!
Anyway, I don't think any of them are useless. The more smilies you have, the more contours of emotion you can express!If anything we need more, since I don't think we have an adequate equivalent for the "worried", "thinking" or "doh" emojis

Re: Most useless smilie?
Yeah, it's actually strange that this place has been around 20 years and never actually had a smiley based on a Rayman sprite!
Whereas, on the other end, BG&EMyth for example has Jade's hair added to all the standard smileys!

I don't think so, it's needed to alternate with

Boon is one of the funniest faces I’ve ever seen. I have to remind myself to not use it all the time just so it’s more impactful when it is used hahahaShrooblord wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:56 pm I actually just pulled out theto get a rise out of someone -- because

And thus, the entire forum exploded, thanks to the power of Boon.

Re: Most useless smilie?
Um….pretty sure that kind of post is also discouraged? So…. 
That’s a good question, why isn’t there a left pointing arrow? Anyways I assume it’s supposed to point to something but I’m pretty sure there’s a combination of keys out there that can do that too, so I don’t see any use for it along with the exclamation and question mark smilies. Unless they’re purely for cosmetic purposes!Ambidextroid wrote: Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:13 pm I can't imagine what emotion or meaning this one conveys though, and why it doesn't have any other directional counterparts:![]()

Re: Most useless smilie?
As a wise man once said, "The boon smiley is meant to express consternation over a particularly appalling remark or message, when contradicting it would be no more than a statement of the obvious and therefore a loss of time for the author and the reader." I don't know if the above post qualifies though 
Re: Most useless smilie?
It doesn't, and therefore future posts of such nature will likely result in being regarded as "redundant filler posts" that warrant a deduction of 10 Tings.

Re: Most useless smilie?
Both are wrong: the boon smiley is for top tier boons only

Re: Most useless smilie?
Yeah, "
" and "
" are probably the least useful as of now in my opinion, even when I manage to use them, it almost feels forced to give them a bit of use... Really too situational, like talking about Disney or something.
Also, I'm not using the "
" anymore 
Personally, as I did feel it was a bit useless/redundant, I chose to interpret it as a literally dark/shadowy version of the noel one, as if your face is darkened under some shadow to add an extra layer of scared/disgusted/disappointed feel to your noel smiley, like some awkward smile... Don't know if my dumb and tired French brain is explaining it well right now.
...Also, more variety when you've spammed the
smileys like I did for over 6 years. 
All of this aside, I feel like some new smileys would be very welcome in the future! Not even just Rayman-themed ones, but maybe something like an applauding smiley, a scared smiley (more subtle than the shocked ones), and obviously a shrugging smiley ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In present day, I’d say the most useless smileys are still the classic

Well I haven’t used all of the smilies so I can’t answer this accurately
