    Default Is smilie important for you in the TWC?

    When chatting with others on the TWC I often found the smilie to be a useful tool to express your feelings correctly that cannot be described by words. e.g. I cannot understand the AI, or Prince Francesca is the most stupid person in the world.
    Compare the following versions:

    I hate you, Prince Francesca.

    I you, Prince Francesca.

    So, are smilies important to you?

    "Can't live without it".

    Exactly.

    EDIT:

    What a relief.
    Thanks for reminding me that, Major Darling!

    tbh; couldn't care less, since even emoticons/smilies are unable to give an accurate appropriate facial expression

    Nope, I rarely use them, never liked it. If the or smilies are here to help express an emotion, crappy gigantic smilies like a dancing party/concert or something like that are completely useless.

    They can often be the savior of your skin when your making a joke with smilies or without, is a big difference and is fast seen to the mods as an insult if your making an offending joke without a smilie. This is just a very small example why smilies are pretty important to have on any forum.

    It's not completely necessary but quite a useful thing to have. It allows you to 'set the mood' of your post so to speak. Something that could sound quite hostile could be turned into a light hearted joke with the right smilie.

    They help in expressing emotion when you're a dysfunctional bastard like me

    There are a few on this website who use nothing but stupid smilies everytime they post.

    Behaviour of the mongo variety.

    Now that I have a bit more of a humorous reputation I think it makes joke delivery better, kind of like keeping a straight face.
    Logical paradoxes and giant dragons don't get on.

    Does anybody else keep on reading the title as 'similie'?
