    Default Re: ORG's emoticons

    Are they really outdated? I can think of 5 different forums I've gone on from time to time in the last few years. All are quite big with a lot of posters. I believe 3 are newer than the Org. All but one are heavily populated by users in their teens. They all use the small yellow smilies, often with some additional sets that vary in appearance but still fit in more or less in size and style (like the Warhammer Ork smilies on dakkadakka). Oddly, only the one with the older base (where people in their twenties make up the bulk of the "younger" posters) has much in the way of smilies that are both higher in detail and much bigger than the little generic yellow guy.

    I don't doubt there are forums that use entirely different types of smilies, but I'm not sure most people see a yellow one and think "old fashioned" either.

    At any rate, no complaints about the new smilies, except maybe their size. Must admit I thought at first they were supposed to be that cat from the old Pokemon cartoon, not onions.
