Dear AFF,

Could we get something done about the smilies? It's a good thing. But it's WAAAAAAYYYYYY too much of a good thing. We do not need 6,277 smiles to choose from. Actually, I think it's 324, but seriously, sometimes I wanna use something besides the tried and true, :lol, :heeheehee, :toofunny, and :ursofunny, but dang it, I don't wanna spend 27 minutes searching for what I'm looking for.

I think it's time to prune the trees, clean house, trim the fat.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Although I have tried to memorize the ones I use the most, so I don't have to search.

I like having the wide selection. Since they're organized by happy, sad, mad, whatever..... I can usually find what I want quickly.

So:

:tease

Careful NOW,
terms like "trim the fat"
are not Politically Correct.

You might offend some of us here.

But they don't all fit exactly in the category in which they're placed. Like "bored". That's a great one but, I just went looking for it to use it as an example, and guess what? I can't find it!!!!! I don't know if it's in mad, upset, or other. That's ridiculous.

And a lot of it doesn't match the category, like the shockamoo (my official favorite, even though I would NEVER shockamoo). It's in "Happy" but most people who shockamoo in real life are really just expressing suppressed frustration than actually being happy.

And there's a bunch of stuff...I'd say at least half of this garbage...I've never seen used and is more of an inside joke between Admins and old-time posters. It's just taking up space.

I'm starting a crusade for a house-cleaning. It's time to separate the sheep-smilies from the goat-smiles!!!!

:shockamoo

Well, I'm skinny so I don't care!!:shockamoo

And furthermore, I never purchase beef with trimmed fat.

Where is that "LIKE" button when you need it?

My "Too many smilies" protest thread isn't getting off the ground. What's wrong with you people?? Join a worthwhile cause and stop looking at that idiotic "Is there sex in heaven" nonsense!!
