Smilies in the old myLot

I feel incomplete if I do not use them

@allknowing why?

@allknowing OK for you

What a shame. That was indeed a milestone but we are not supposed to post milestones here, sadly

@LadyDuck No one knows why some discussions stay and others get deleted. I used to get offended with this earlier but have developed a thick skin. I know who reports my discussions. I too have reported their discussions which have been deleted (lol)

@allknowing This is true, even if I read discussion every day that are "milestone", not to mention birthday, all those are against the guidelines. I think I am the only one who reached 200000 here.

they are OK, but I do not see great use for them

May be your content is expressive enough?

You can take some tuitions from me

@JudyEv Woot is hurrah - certainly good

@allknowing Okay so when would you use the ninja and the woot one? Is woot good or bad?

Where?????

Surely not?

@allknowing Not here. Under some other discussion.

They do emphasise what we want to say

I have not learned about codes yet

Me too, @florelway!

There are quite a few like you here. No compulsion whatsoever.

@allknowing Yes, it was nice when we were finally able to use them. We weren't able to copy and paste and in the beginning either, but I don't remember how many posts we had to write before we were able to copy and paste.

@Porcospino Interesting is it not - not being able to copy/paste? Everything comes back and then we had the Best Response, star rating - in other words it had more substance.

I would just wait for that opportunity and it really gave us joy to be able to use them

I am genereous when it comes to smilies here

Maybe ; will try using them, for fun

You're part of the "golden age", haha!

I feel these smilies are important in the absence of facial expressions.

@valmnz

@allknowing now I'm determined to express myself better!

It was total activity

I do too. It was more sumptuous if you know what I mean.

Just got here. Do not know about the 'good old days'

@JWMILLER personally I probably miss things on the old site that many other members don't Back then we had a way less active admin, loads of "real" trolls on weekends when admin wasn't about and some genuinely knock down drag out debates. By real trolls I mean people who specifically came to trigger debate on certain issues...they'd be quite witty and it'd be a lot of fun not the nasty type trolls who come to sites just to cause trouble. Back then we had categories to put our discussions in such as hobbies, tv etc...there was a star system and so much other stuff...some good and some bad. Generally people who didn't want a real debate stayed in certain categories and the real wild west was in religion and politics I do still like this site and will always come back to it as I have a few friends here but, in my opinion, it has got a little too tame for my taste.

There is more about the old myLot that you do not know

@allknowing I can imagine and I would love to read about it.

Might use it sometime

@Funmilayomercy

You will find them below your comment box in the tab 'myLot Code'

@allknowing Gotten

@allknowing Like when you see a picture of a tongue sticking out.

Which of those do you find it difficult to understand?

It was kind of hilarious The moment a newbie reached 200 there would be happiness all over.

@allknowing I can imagine that.. I remember I was on a literary site and fought with the admin to have some smiles .. finally he gave in and we had smiles.

Some are able to express themselves well without using them as in your case

@wolfgirl569

@allknowing But they make it a lot easier

I am a victim of that and that keeps me way down in the top rated.

@allknowing Not to worry.

@HappiDee You are welcome.

thank you

Now let me decipher your mood You started to smile, then you giggled and then you want me to have a nice day.

@allknowing exactly
