Title: Custom smileys - should I make 'em?
Post by: xela on October 04, 2011, 01:09:30 PM
A custom animated set can take up to 30+ hours to make, but they are often the highlight of a forum.

If I do end up making them - who's got some cool ideas? Maybe a smiley doing a spring, or a fan?

You could make the Vortex Alien, the vortex itself, One with a top hat, one shaped like a heart, one like a spade, one like a club, one like a diamond, one with the AetherCards logo, one with the Vortex Ace of Spades, and knowing you Alex, you could possibly make some smileys that have some spoilers for the Vortex Deck, and any of your future decks.

You don't know how awesome that comment made you. Also, I think it's worth mentioning that Neil Patrick Harris, is a big magic fan, and I believe I heard that he is a member of the "Magic Castle".

NPH is indeed a member of the magic castle and is not only a fan but does practise magic on occasion. He also hosted the world magic awards in 2008. Quite a funny guy and great personality.

And there was an intervention for him on one episode, about him needing to stop preforming magic with fire.

Can you make it so if you get a certain number of posts, we get to design a custom smiley?

If Alex were to do this people would be posting silly things just to get more posts to make a smiley. It wouldn't make for good conversations within the forum. I'm sure there is another way your idea could work, but some people already simply post to up their post count and this would only increase that. The Discourse is the bets playing card forum out there and we wouldn't want that to change. :)

Thanks to Sinsandman's suggestion, a smiley inspired by the winner of a random FOTW will be made for the forums. :) Also, I just added this new one: :-[
