Nothing stopping you from using emoticons (╥﹏╥)
Austin Fisher
You can meme as much as you like, they were fucking incredible. Mostly they were done by hobby artists and you found new ones daily while now you get emojies actually engineered by big corporations. Kinda like the MS Paint Wojak vs. the new polished Nujak
Joseph Ortiz
Liam Rodriguez

Connor Cooper
What is the difference between a smiley, an emoji, and an emoticon?
Tyler Murphy
the first two are literally in the name and emoji is just weeb for picture.
Brayden Perez
basic text emoticons to disambiguate emotion > complex text emoticons > emojis >>> GIF emoticons

Emoji are the specific symbols present in ancient Jap encodings and Unicode. Emoticions you make yourself out of symbols that weren't intended for it. :^)
>they were fucking incredible
No, phpBB smileys were obnoxious. Forums were where normalfags used on hang out, and a good tell of a normalfag was their overuse of graphical smileys.
Bentley Reyes
Shaka Brah, pal! Back in my days, we used to have epic fun browsing roleplay forums on Netscape over the information superhighway. By the way, why aren't they making another service pack for Windows xp?

That's a bit of a stretch. Let's just say someone forgot to bury it.

Smileys were always shit and always a sign of some “I’ll be the one in the kitchen” type faggot. Emojis are generally supreme faggotry, yes, but some are useful and not just Braille for autists who can’t express their emotions in writing.
Chase Ross

you guys gotta go back to the fucking nineties brahs! :-P
we had it all figured out! :'-D
but then the 2000s happened -_-
