You all just need to hone your old school emoji talent from the AIM days. Observe.

Honestly, though, dislike them or not it's a bad cool to not have them. Emojis are a standard now-a-days, it's like being against people posting gifs because you dislike them.

emoji's and emoticons are just terrible and immature

no forum should have them
Nah, spamming them is immature, but they're fine when used in sparingly. They're great because sometimes it's hard to tell when someone is joking through text since we can't see each other or pick up on vocal cues. Emoji make it easier for people to express themselves. It has nothing to do with being immature.

If you're thinking of adding emojis could you use the Google blob ones?

I was totally devastated when they got rid of them.

I want y'all to picture E3 (or any other major event really).

Everyone has their eyes glued to the stream.

The bombs start falling.

Pages and pages of emojis as far as the eye can see.

Perhaps make "emoji only" posts un-postable, but if an emoji is within a post with at least 1 or 4 characters of text, let the system allow the post to be made. Is that possible?

They're dependent on what browser/OS you're using to look at them.

The reason this version of XenForo can't use them is due to a MySQL limitation on storage for the version of MySQL it's built against, hence why embedding a tweet lets the forum display an emoji because it's not storing the tweet at any point.

One of the best things this board has going for it is its simplicity. No need to clutter up the board with emoji junk. If you've got something to say, use your words.

I think ya'll are overthinking this. Was any of this ever a problem in the long forgotten lands of yesteryear? It wasn't a problem then and it won't be a problem now.

i'd be okay with this, they're cute and this way they'll be kept alive, the problem is new emojis get added constantly and now that google has moved on to that horrible apple knock off design of emoji, there'll be no one to blobify the new emojis.
