OK, doh! After composing this, I just did a search on “emoticons” and sure
enough, this was discussed
a while ago. What ever happened to it?
Hi All,
Smiley icons seem to be all the rage on many other forums on the net, but we
don’t have any here on Lugnet. I suspect the reason has to do with the
“cheese” factor as these icons can appear cheesy and annoying at times
(especially the animated ones).
But, what if we customize things a bit and use minifig heads for the smileys.
For example, any occurrence of :-) would be replaced with something like:
The substitution would only occur for users of the web interface. Perhaps
there could be an opt out setting (just like the skip-filter settings) so
that users who find this annoying could switch the substitution off.
What do you think?

I’d like to speak out against it, or at best state that it ought to be low
priority. At least until and unless there is a far wider base of coding talent
that’s contributing to LUGNET development.
Two reasons
- I think there are a number of much much more important things needed (self password resets perhaps?)
- The cheesyness factor. Everywhere I know of that has them seems cheesier than before it had them.
