this forum has been on the internet for 20 years lol. imagine that. we started with default phpbb smilies, right.... but then,,, we made more. many many much more. we are the pioneers of  which is obviously iconic regardless of ur feeling re: this smilie, but thems the facts - its legendary.lol here some of my feels:  look at this emote. its classic. for one the pixel art is sick, and then the second is way more meta. remember in like the mid 2000s when like athiesm was like was sick and epic, thats the heritage of the science emote. classic poo poo imo. We did a Science Thing, Goon Sir! lol thats sick this is vintage. its like cool but cooler. i think its a penguin which live on the ice which is cool. i think there is a deeper etymological story on this emote. but it is very sick and insanely SA. Like what is cooler than cool, well, it's coal. nuff said u used to mostly put this in sexist context about boobs and stuff iirc. like hell yea. maybe problematic lol but imo its vintage as gently caress and classic. do u remember post on dpph? that web game i didnt play but many ppl did. classic poo poo this is so old. very ancient, supremely historical lol. even the name of his makes me think of 2005 powerful SA feels. the ultimate forum. the greatest forum on the net dont forget to tip your wiatress this is my monitor in the off position goons are smarter than most ppl lol i guess used almost exclusively by legendary forums user None More Negative. this man was iconic to me as a teen. perfect emote. line art is divine and the sentiment is 100. dont u wish this was a emoji for ur cell phone? i dolast one  ths smilie is probs probelmatic lol, well, this forum is 20 years old <hr> Anyways, the idea here is post your favorite smilie an tell me why. here's mine:  Dukedoge is my favorite smilie because it's epic as gently caress for one. That goes without saying. It's the doge meme, lol, which is funny as gently caress because it's funny on its own merits (famous meme) but also because it's retro as hell now, which makes it ironically funny. Furthemore it is smoking, which is cool. Beyond that it references Duke Nukem whcih is mega ownage in terms of forums. Recall the Forever Banned status which fragmaster or somethign could do to ppl which banned them until DNF came out, whioch was sposed to be never, but then it did come out. (did all these ppl get unbanned upon release? unknown.) Duke Nukem himself is of course very loving win if you ask me, for a litany of obvious reasons, kicking, hookers, etc. Regardless.... Please post your favorite smilie and tell me why it is your favorite. I will be reading, eagerly. i will l;eave u with the Vesper music to go over the smilie list to ruminate on your selection: vesper music (cue this) smilie list (browse this) Smythe has a new favorite as of 23:13 on Jan 7, 2021 |

Griefor posted:I like That's also my favourite. It's extremely versatile. It can mean "I love what I'm seeing and I'm eager for more" or "this is extremely dumb and I can't believe I'm witnessing it" or, at its best, both at the same time. Ideal for when you're reading the Newspaper Spider-Man thread.

big fan of  because, although the backstory is potentially Troubling in this day and age, it nevertheless expresses a kind of horrified grimace that is often exactly the correct response to posts by the moral, social, and intellectual defectives that make up this website's clientele

it's really dumb but I'm partial to  just because that story (and the dramatic readings) had me cackling back in the day. I'm not even sure if it was real or not but it was pretty good at the time.I think  came out around the same time but that once has obviously changed.Same with  who never even logged into his account, for shame.

I like  a lot and miss it when I'm on platforms with inferior smilie capabilities. It strikes just the right tone to work both sarcastically and sincerely. Conventional emojis just can't capture the feeling nearly as well.

 Named after a goon who yearned back to the time of ancient Rome which he thought was much better than the modern age. When explained that the lives of plebs/slaves there were actually not all that back then, he retorted that that wasn't a problem, in the pure meritocracy of ancient Rome his amazing intellect would obviously make him a noble and who cares about the lives of lesser people when you are as great as he? It's now mostly used as a  in a historic setting but it also always reminds me of its history.Reference: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3486446&userid=183787

 is the best because it’s perfect for when you realize you’re doing something dunb or express how someone else is being such a non-self-aware idiot. i don’t use emotes a lot but this one is probably one of my most usedrunners-up are  and  (look how happy this fuckin guy is) and
