Adding more emojis?

[Fusion X. Denver]

I'm as big a weeb as the next guy, but I think it'd be cool if we had some more emojis to widen up ways for us to express ourselves. Even adding the default emojis from our phones would be a nice touch.

 

Would something like this be possible to do?

I demand Golihoot.

If we can get evilfusion to add them, then sure. 

 

You guys want the ones currently on Discord?

I've always wondered why in the world we don't have normal emojis like every other mainstream emoji system, at least beside the ones we do have. (For some reason the YCM emojis always bother me, a lot)

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

We had normal emoji, but Aix removed them a couple years back and replaced them with the anime-tier ones we have now. 

[cr47t]

I wonder why we don't bring them back now the topic is brought up.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

If the rest of the mods had access to the emojis, we could probably add them back in addition to getting the Golihoot one you guys want. But that's a function reserved for the Super Mods, and I don't know how many YCM can take at a time. 

 

That being said, how many of you want the standard emoji back (at least as an option, besides cr47t)?

We had normal emoji, but Aix removed them a couple years back and replaced them with the anime-tier ones we have now. 

tbh the normal emoji we did have were REAAAALLLLYYYYY bad.

Why do so many places have terrible regular smiley faces how hard is it to have decent looking ones. (this last one wasn't directed at you just in general)

 

Anyway I support more emoji maybe we could do something like some kind of vote for what emojis to have and limiting how many get added at first. Like people give some emojis they want and if they get a couple others agreeing put it on a list for the vote

Make it a sorta event. It'd be fun. Maybe. Just spitballing ideas. I honestly am not sure what I'm saying at this point.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Compile a list of emoji you guys want, vote on them and then we can get evil/Flame to do it. 

 

Think there are better versions of the "standard" emoji somewhere on Google; at least ones that are normal enough but aren't boring to look at.

I support this. Having the discord animal emotes around would be cool as hell.

 

And if you are open to suggestions of emotes, I very much would like to have some from this MMORPG I used to play, Ragnarok Online.

Found a page with most of the expressive emotes, in animation:

I'm strongly against the return of the old emojis. They were uglier than the aftermath of the PR mod election, interfered with posts if you input the "right" series of characters (^_~ was the biggest offender in my case; funk that winking emoji I hope its creator burns), and better versions could be found with such minimal effort. However, I do agree we could do to have some more emojis round here. Goli/Golihoot in particular feel like necessary additions to our selection.

Since it's brought up, you could borrow a lot of LINE's stickers into this site's emote list. That'd be neat.

Oh. Didn't know that. My bad

 

EDIT: maybe bring back the original images and assign them an ID like the other emotes we have?????????????????? idk

[ENMaker]

The addition of :thinking: would elevate this forum to a higher plane. It would ascend further still with :enduser: but I imagine the mods are too cowardly to implement this. :c

[Fusion X. Denver]

Okay, so I say at least to start, we should see about implementing the Discord emojis and maybe also the "standard" emojis. 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

As I mentioned beforehand (if it wasn't clear already), us adding the emoji will require getting on evilfusion to do it for us. If it were that easy, we would've added them by now.

 

I would be fine adding the Discord emotes and better versions of the standard; at least ones that don't screw up posts when you want to write stuff.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Are Night and Flame Dragon incapable/don't know how, or was that just shorthand?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

General shorthand for all of the Supers; unless their permissions are different (which I don't believe is the case), all of them should be able to do it. I mentioned evilfusion because he's usually the one doing additions and stuff nowadays.

[evilfusion]

I'm just dropping in here to note that this thread/request was brought up to me, but I haven't really had the time to look into it yet.

 

For the record, all the Supers have the exact same permissions, but I'm usually the one who tries to look into these sort of things.

 

EDIT: Okay, from the looks of it, adding emojis is actually incredibly easy to do.

 

However, I would require the emoji image/file and the code info about it to add individual emojis. And if you're looking for a larger group of them to be added, ideally, I would need to locate a downloadable folder of that group. If someone could provide me with that, or point me in that direction, I can get going on making progress in adding them. Otherwise, I might end up floundering a bit.

Can you grab them from the webpage I linked to? Or do you want them to be "wrapped up", like in a compressed file or something?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I think I have the original files used for some of the emoji on the YCM Discord (least the smaller ones; ones like Golihoot and the like may need to be acquired from Black or whoever was staff on there at the time they were added).
