I know Bags is after a crescent moon for the Quiet corner/nite, nite thingy!

Which would be good smile

But what about the Union flag ...for Queen's Jubilee ... Olympics...-Para-Olympics??? I know some GNetters are not going to follow these events, buts lots of us will be!! [pride] emoticion

Then I think we ought to have a 'wooden spoon' emoticion ...I think some of us would get a lot od use out of this one!! grin

What does anyone else think??

I knew someone (probably you, absent) would comment on that grin! I did think of just putting hoi polloi with no English article, but it 'sounded' wrong in my head, so I suppose the my answer to your question is yes. Like it or lump it. smile

Hello all,

We said a while ago, in response to calls for a snowflake emoticon, that we had a limited amount of Tech resources we could assign to the creation of emoticons, and so we'd only be able to commit to one for a six month period. This is until August - so do have a think/vote about what everyone would like and we can pass on any requests to Tech.

It's definitely not a space issue! If everyone is happy to see more emoticons at the bottom, and doesn't think it's confusing etc, there's no problem for us.

We'll obviously do our best to make sure that we get as many tech requests done as we can! Hope that answers some questions.

Can I ask why it would only be for a six month period, Josie? Are they on loan? confused

Sorry, I wasn't being very clear was I?!

The six month idea was just to give everyone an idea of what we could manage, emoticon-wise, and we thought one emoticon in this six month slot (Feb-Aug) would be OK to force ask Tech nicely for.

They won't only be on loan for that period! (unless everyone decided they would like an eg. Olympic emoticon, that would only be relevant for a limited time)

Hope that is a bit clearer...

Have you read Josie's first post, Jacey - paragraph 1?

"...we'd only be able to commit to one for a six month period." etc.

Well, perhaps Josie needs to make things even clearer so that we know exactly what we're voting for (i.e. one emoticon or two, or several! grin)

Let's go for several!! We will not get confused ...we're GNetters!! grin

Ok, ok, i seem to have confused matters again!

One emoticon. Until August. <gavel>

You can all vote for which one you would like. If you would like both equally, you can say that too. If you have any other opinions on emoticons at all, those will also be welcome - as always smile
