i have an idea for a smilie--
i think we need a hug icon that is not so "upbeat"

but, more of a comforting gesture...


maybe if perhaps the mouths were not turned up at the corners :shrug:


what do you guys think?

would you use it?

1. I would use that.
And how about a smiley that slaps its hand to its forehead and does a kind of "d'oh!" look?

3. Okay!
we need more smilies!

I'd like a new hug smilie

:hug: this one is really smiling, is that wrong?

how about a frowning hug?

or a shrugging hugging?

or a hugging that is very distant like, not a hug at all, more of a arm's length hug

or what about a handshake for those who don't want to hug

or how about a friendly wave for those who don't want to touch anyone even on the internet

okay, I'm full of shit!



:hug: :rofl:

6. How about an "air kiss" smiley?
"Wonderful to see you, dahling, *mwah* *mwah*."

I noticed it on another board I frequent.

PERFECT for smack discussions.:D

On edit: Screw it. The pic was of a smiley head with a blank stare drinking coffee and reading the paper.

8. it is just that sometimes when someone makes a really sad
post...and i have NO words to express my sorrow and i want to give comfort

i want to reach out through the tubes and pull them close to my heart and let them gather strength

and somehow the one happy hug just does NOT do it for me...

i realize the admin have a lot more important tasks

and i could go "Smilie crazy" but,

really, i think if i just had this one more

i could be satisfied....

27. to symbolize support and sympathy?
I like that idea. I'm bad with words in those circumstances. I hate to not comment altogether because that seems cold. I want to convey warm supportive thoughts, good vibes or whatever, but, as you said, have no words. I think some symbol of that would be perfect in the Lounge community where everyone IS so supportive of each other.

If we did, I would use it right now.

(Goodnight, all) :hi:

21. I think we need a smilie of an elephant
Edited on Wed Dec-27-06 02:24 PM by ashling
taking a dum and walking off an leavin a pile of steaming elephant sh** w/ flies. Maybe it could be taking a dump on the Constitution, or on t sign that says truth

Can somebody work on that? Maybe the intelligent smilie designer.
