Anyone else dissatisfied with the change? I don't like them. I hate Facebook and I hate forums which support emojis. I know cg meant well but... sheesh. I mean, I'll get used to it I guess, but it's still really annoying to me at the moment. Guess I'm just a grumpy old party-pooper.

Here a giveaway as an apology for the rant

Do you support the use of emoticons on a forum?

Yes
No

another way of spamming nonsense. i might hide them with my userstyle since they are too bright and colorful, they are pretty annoying.
or maybe i will get used to them, who knows.

i will stick to my trash unicode symbols ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember userbars? Those were stupid. I don't care much about emoticons, though. Especially after living through the days when on pretty much every forum each user had a ton of those retarded userbars in their profile signature.

I'm not really happy with them. I hope people give them little use. Already have Cursed but thanks for the GA ;)

It's a problem with people who overuse them, not with emojis themselves. I don't have a problem if I see 1 emote in a post.

Never apologise for the rant! That's what stops us going postal - it's practically a community service.

I am a little disappointed in the click-bait title, though. I guess I was expecting an education in X-rated ASCII.

I think you'll see a trend of emoticons usage just for the novelty of it, for a while, and then it will die off and will be used sparingly for "appropriate" (i.e in context) comments/threads. Or maybe I'm wrong and it's a new meme-esque plague ;)

TBH, I don't have a problem with having access to more features, whatever they may be, so people can have more tools whether it's for practical reasons (SGT integration into SG please) or expression at their disposal.

What I do hate is when people exchange real effort of elucidating their messages with emoticons, and the same goes to GIFs and memes. But that's rampant all over forums so I just ignore it.

It seems like CG just expanded the character set to include all unicode characters, and your browser does the rest. Blame their ugliness on your browser. Chrome has these big colourful things, Edge does not.

I'm on Firefox, but sure. I wish there was a way to disable them.

I have Firefox too and when I first saw them I thought one of my many SG scripts updated and it was a new feature and not a site upgrade until I saw the announcement. There's an add-on that allows you to easily use them so I figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're still an OK person to me.

Trivial thing for you, annoying thing for someone else. If you're used to emojis and all that crap that fine. But personally, I stay away from social media platforms for multiple reasons, which includes ugly spammy emojis.

Also, you also have enough time on your hands to complaint about me so I don't see why I shouldn't have time to complaint about this. :P

I don't like emoticons either. I don't use them, but I don't care if others use them. I like text art though

As long as people don't spam the shit out of them in threads & thread titles, I'm happy.

I love emoticons, though I don't feel they're necessary here, since people usually find an appropriate meme to express what they're feeling ;D

I'm not sure what to think about them, good or bad. Either way, thanks for the giveaway and have a bump!

the best shows get cancelled before they're ever noticed. Joss Whedon sucks at naming his shows, nobody ever wants to watch a show called Dollhouse, Angel, or Firefly.... till they're cancelled.

I only see codes in rectangle and as everybody keeps using them I see trash around, haet dis.

People will forget about it in less than a week. Why nobody is angry, that people keep posting gifs or links to youtube? Emojis are bad, and "View attached image" is fine, apparently, jeeezus.
