You always like lots of smilies. :P |
No, I love smilies.  pclove:
:lol: Seriously - they really help to communicate that extra bit of info. I often post humorously or ironically. Without an emoticon of some kind it can come across wrongly.

Just curious, what is the reason behind that ? I always thought that it is always good to have more options ...

There is such a thing as overkill. The last thing you want to do is to have smilies "take over" posts. The whole point of a board is to communicate ideas, ultimately speaking. Smilies should assist in that, not get in the way. Additionally, by adding too many smilies, you dilute each smiley's value -- it's hard enough to pick "one" now, imagine twice as many.
Anyway... how often are we going to use a wedding smiley in casual conversation? If you're going to have a "Congrats!" post, a picture of a wedding cake would work just as well.
