Smilies?
Posted by(#Kaeli) on Sep 28, 2011
Please take note of the new poll, but don't think that we have forgotten the results of the last one. On Robyn's list of things to fix is setting markings to show by defaults and make those that want them hidden check the box :)
This new poll is all about emoticons!
Do YOU want emoticons to appear in chat as picture smilies, or do you prefer the text version?
Please vote :>

I vote no, or you can have a check box by them so people have a choice to use them or not on text.

You guys are so picky. Of course nobody wants them, because then (as usual) The mods would go crazy about "Homg smilie overuse!" Just like everything else. Couldn't we compromise? Have it be turned off? Or if you overuse it, you get it turned off? Come on, be a little flexible. Let the chat have at least a TINY bit of light please.

I already overuse smilies and I know it. :) Please leave them text. I would be even more annoying as I try to convey that I am amused or smiling as I chat.

We have a couple quick updates for you all tonight :)

Finally a contest I can actually enter!<br /><br />
I wrote something small about one of my dogs that keeps winning scary beauty contests; it seems the most appropriate to write about him ^_^<br /><br />
I'll be excited to see the results of this. I don't see a lot of well-done stories on Alacrity (it seems to be filled with artists, not writers) so I'm interested in learning who among us is secretly really talented!
