For me, if someone's talking about something funny or interesting they should probably use some kind of smiley. Otherwise you get another kind of image of the whole thing.
Example #1: God, I hate school. (Seems angry) God, I hate school. >.<
Example #2: Hello. How are you? Haven't seen you in a while. Hope you had a fun time in Libya. (Seems like you're not interested.) Hello! :biggrin.gif: How are you? Haven't seen you in a while. Hope you had a fun time in Libya. ^^
i like smileys :smile.gif: some people say they overused like you :sad.gif: but i just think thats stupid because it alows the use of sarcasm :biggrin.gif: like, "gee your mother dosnt look old ;)" HAPPY FACE :biggrin.gif:
It all depends on how you look at it. And smilieys are kind of necessary for online chat like this. Everything we write seems kind of bland without the color and emotion of smileys. It disappoints me that this forum does not a have a flat out :biggrin.gif: Smiley. The ones we have here cannot express many different emotions.
"I am so unhappy that I feel like 'sploding on you."
"Oh noes!"
"You are dead to me."
"HUURRRGGHGHH"
"..."
(I don't even know what this one means.)
Yeah. We need more useful smilies in my opinion. Not that I'm hatin' on the cool Minecraft ones, but... they're a bit limited in my eyes.
Smileys are good in moderation stuff like smiley spam eg; :33 :biggrin.gif: is not cool.
One or two per post would be the limit, really, you only need one to show what emotion you are when typing.

:sad.gif: I only use them to convey me mood and tone of my post at the moment of posting. Gets rid of the monotone, robotic, Stephen Hawking voice :smile.gif:
i agree with earlier posters, they are useful to convey emotions or body language that would otherwise be lost to the limits of text-only communication. (see how boring and matter of fact that sounds without a smiley :biggrin.gif:)

Yeah, i feel like i am ranting if i don't put some sort of happy smiley at the end, or if you make a joke some people will thing you are serious without a :tongue.gif:. :3

I agree. I use the Minecraft smilies more for showing someone a concept or design. We just need a redstone emoticon.

Brings whirlwinds, tempests, thunder and lightning.
and or spam fire
It really shows their maturity. Text smilies I'm fine with though :3
