Which emoticon is most overused at myLot?

Hello friend, I personally think the 'thumb-up' emoticon is the most overused on myLot. As I have noticed, most of us (including me) are still into the habit of writing 'lol' rather than substituting it with . Then, there are other emoticons, like the , etc which still exist in the form of hand written :( and :) respectively. However, It is hard to type down the thumb-up emoticon; therefore, I guess, it could be the most overused perhaps? As far as removing some of them...hmm..not a bad idea, I think. Some of the expressions on the smiley faces are hard to read. Take for e.g the 'cool' emote, does it really express anything cool. And the 'whistle' emote, who would whistle that way. I cannot, for the life of me, decipher how a shocked face juxtaposed with a waving flag means 'to surrender'. Also the 'cry' emote, it's more a 'squint' than crying face, there is hardly a drop of tear rolling down those eyes. The ones I like the best are rasp, drool, blush, yawn, wink and lol. Besides the emoticons, bolding, italicizing and underlining - another feature I would crave myLot to include is - hyperlinking the text.

I think the rasp is my favorite but I don't use it alot because I am afraid others would get the wrong idea about it thinking I am making fun of them or what not. I use the alot more then the others and I don't think I have used the cool one,the ninja or the sleep one. But I have used the others every so often when I remember to use them. I love the emotions I think they are a cool and cute way to add to discussions to help others express themselves but I do think they do need to add a HUG emotions since people are always adding it to the ends of most discussions.

My use able emoticons are the happy and laughing one too. But sometimes it depends on the emotions I have in a particular sentence.

Hello, my friend! I have seen this new emoticon feature. It is really great to see myLot developing like that. I don't use to add emoticons to my responses, however I guess I'll start doing so. It is a great way to express better your opinions about a certain subject. The most used emoticon, that I can see in almost all discussions, is the happy one. Yes, this face I just showed. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I use the smile one the most. I used to just use the colon and parentheses before we were allowed emoticons. I also use the laugh one now that it is available. I like the little ninja but don't have cause to use him usually.

I have used them ALL at some point. I loved the occasion when I rolled my eyes at someone in a discussion when I was trying to defend the user who had initially started the discussion. The same user was following what was being said andsaid mea private message laughing but thanking me for making the point to the person who was slamming him. Without the emoticons it would not have come over so well I havealso you the tears and the yawns. I would love a emoticon to give tosome of the people who do some brilliant responses and it would just seem right to reward them with token rose

I know I use the happy one alot, to replace my old:) My favorite tho is the cool (dude). And I like the thumbup one. And I also really like these, , when I'm baffled or something.. and of course the lol, laughing one and the laughing and tongue one - or in response to a sad news report or something the sad or angry one. - I don't think I've ever used any of the others. But I do wish they had some more choices.. Oh yes, I use this one to mean something is hopeless..

I really like the laugh one and it is probaly the most used I also wished they had the hugs one and waving bye one

I hardly ever use them im old fashioned I like to just type and mabey the ocasional :)

I think is the most used. For the time being I am pleased with what is avaialble. but they could always add ore and leave what's here as well. I always make my signature bold as well. That's the feature I use most as far as the codes go. I personally love the drolling one the most but do not use it a lot. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well, well, well! I have been away from myLot for a while due to other commitments and look what happens! :) I will probably stick to my standard smiley faces and winking faces I think; with the occasional unhappy face thrown in on the bad days! Love them or hate them we all end up using them! This is a good addition!

Personally, I find inserting emoticons a hazzle. It would be nice if the emoticons could appear automatically if we were to type the codes instead of selecting them from mylot code. The ones that I used more often are and I think emoticons brightens up a discussion or response if it was used appropriately. However, if one uses too many in one discussion or response, it sort of defeats the effect it is supposed to create. I get

I couldn't wait to e able to use emoticons but now that I can I seldom use them . I think the is probably the most used.

When they first came out, I used them a couple of times, but now I just find it easier to type LOL. Whenever I try to apply them to my posts they are always at the very beginning and I have to delete them and put them where I want them in my discussion. Just easier to quickly type LOL.

for me, most overused is the following emoticons: :) :( :P :D these four are what i always use.. so i think others must be using them much too. i mean, i have like a smiley face on every post i have in mylot.. of course if i should be smiling and a sad face if the topic or discussion made me really sad.

I guess this is my favourite although I don't really bother using them much, I'm used to using the LOL. I can't see one with tears though, perhaps that might be useable

hi lordwarwizard! i am also guilty of using these emoticons, often i use the maximum number allowed and sometimes i don't notice i have put more than the allowed number so i would be asked to remove one of them. ^__^;; i often use the happy, lol and wink emoticons. my most favorite is the laughing out loud emoticon. the emoticons i rarely use are the angry, yawn, ninja, and sleep emoticons. i wish they'd put an emoticon brandishing a peace sign. just like my avatar.

Hi Lord, Well I am always forgettting those little emotes but i too love the tongue and the smiley. I would think those two are probably most overused because people like happiness and being funny. By the way Lord------

I use them quite a lot when I respond but not so much when I post a discussion. The one I use the most is and

i see the face with hearts on it most often sorry i can't show them because i need 200 posts
