Popular Post Jester13 Posted September 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hi friends, If you're like me, you love the selection of emojis we have - they are a great source of giggles. It was suggested recently that Kuzy's confused face would be a great addition, but that got me thinking: adding emojis is always fun, but as the selection becomes larger and larger, what about subtracting some as well? I mean, it's a new forum, new year, new team; heck, even a new management and plan. Below are some suggestions. Feel free to agree or disagree, add your own ideas, etc.: 1. Suggestion: Add Kuzy as the new confused look and subtract Loui's, as well as remove the actual confused emoji. Reason: it's a new era, and we can help keep the number of emojis down by adding one and subtracting two, as I'm sure we can all agree that we don't want to have too many emojis to choose from. 2. Suggestion: Subtract the tank. Reason: whether you like it or not, management is not tanking but rather going with this core until it's clear the core can't get it done. (We can always bring back the tank emoji if that time ever comes around again). 3. Suggestion: Remove the Bruce Thereitis. Reason: We all love the guy, but I personally feel it's now time to move on from that debacle as well. Our new coaching staff is impressing basically all of us so far, so maybe it's time to also begin this new era with a fresh start. 4. Suggestion: Add a diamond emoji. Reason: Fight pressure with pressure is Tocc's mantra. When a poster mentions how a player had a good game, how a guy or the team fought back, or the team simply had a good game, this could be a great way to support the post in a way that represents this new era. I'll leave it here and allow for other suggestions, disagreements, or whatever, as I'm getting a little verklempt. Discuss... 1 1 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 how about a Cheech? use that for fun in-game moments. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech would be a great solute to him and his legendary status. I love it. Also, I noticed you used the Vintage emoji on my post. Unfortunately, Vintage will not be joining us on this new forum, and that sucks, but I'd be down with replacing the Vintage goal light with @Ribs profile photo of Hal from 2001. He saved our community, and it would be a great salute to him for this new era. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs and Podz Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 1) yes why not... LE pic is disturbing anyway, and other is redundant. 2) yes until further notice.... Hopefully never!!! 3) no (only because despite bruce is no longer here. The image in itself holds true to the intention it's used for. Until we come across a better option 4) undecided... Is a diamond really the best symbol for what you're describing? Also, do we need that emoji at all? A little obscure maybe? As for Heffys suggestion of the minus coming back... First thought was yes. But really, it's just not necessary. There are other emojis that would be better. Like a rolling of the eyes or a smug face would be better in my opinion. Thanks for bringing this subject up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I just got the confusey back, don't you dare take it away again! If anything, get rid of every other emoji. They're all inferior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Further to my earlier post about what is an emoji and what is a reaction (the latter of which is what I think you're referring to): 8 hours ago, Jester13 said: Hi friends, If you're like me, you love the selection of emojis we have - they are a great source of giggles.

Reason: it's a new era, and we can help keep the number of emojis down by adding one and subtracting two, as I'm sure we can all agree that we don't want to have too many emojis to choose from. We've never had a Loui emoji. We've had a Loui reaction though. It works fine as a "whaaaaa...?" reaction. 2. Suggestion: Subtract the tank. Reason: whether you like it or not, management is not tanking but rather going with this core until it's clear the core can't get it done. (We can always bring back the tank emoji if that time ever comes around again). There was never a Tank emoji. The Tank reaction represented "Tanks a lot" which is (from what I gathered) a tongue-in-cheek reaction to silliness. 3. Suggestion: Remove the Bruce Thereitis. Reason: We all love the guy, but I personally feel it's now time to move on from that debacle as well. Our new coaching staff is impressing basically all of us so far, so maybe it's time to also begin this new era with a fresh start. I have no problem with the BTII reaction, but I can see how some people could find it unnecessary. I also wouldn't mind a REEL GUD Willie DJ reaction either. Or a Green "That's a good team over there" reaction, but I've always had a bit of a quirky taste for reactions. 4. Suggestion: Add a diamond emoji. Reason: Fight pressure with pressure is Tocc's mantra. When a poster mentions how a player had a good game, how a guy or the team fought back, or the team simply had a good game, this could be a great way to support the post in a way that represents this new era. There's 6 emojis called "diamond" you can choose from already. Ohhhh, you mean "reaction"... I'll leave it here and allow for other suggestions, disagreements, or whatever, as I'm getting a little verklempt. Discuss... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downvote murders all discussion on Reddit. The Wat reaction also kind of does this. People will just Wat reaction any opinion they disagree with. It's a literal discussion killer. Downvote dials that up to 11. We don't need that lazy garbage here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
