Old Emojis Gone?

Just like thread title says, I guess the old Emojis like :rotate: and :winky: are gone? It's not a big deal, I just liked having them around as a bit of forum history

    Why? What did :rotate: ever do to you?

    Also, no, the trollface one should not exist.

    Pour one out for some real iconic emoji

    These new emoji options are really :#

    The global emoji that one can utilize just aren't the same - they appear different depending on the platform people are viewing it on, rather than the universality of the forum aesthetic - and they lack some of the esoteric animated ones such as the :bee: and :rotate: that everyone is mourning.

    We lost rotate, winky, bee, and bro, so that we could get some trollface emote?

    Horrible trade! We got ripped off!

    (although this is, I suspect, yet again a change Vanilla made at a very basal level and not the admins here)

    Do not mourn the loss of :rotate:, celebrate the time you had with it.

    Wait, we don't even get a :think: emoji off this?!

    Nevermind, burn it all down

    How much do we have to pay to get old emojis back?

    I'm good for at least a hundo :P

    damn you, new emojis

    I have a vague memory of this happening at least once before...

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    One could argue that it is an important part of preserving history to keep the old emojis available.

    Old emojis or we riot!

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
    Okay, yeah, I have now witnessed the trollface being used in the wild. It is time to riot

    @DJ Eebs Is there a possible solution to this, or are we just fucked?

    A few thousand of my posts, at minimum, are going to look pretty weird without :rotate:

    I feel personally attacked by this change. :lol:

    Also, I add my voice to the others who say we don't need a troll emoji. There's a reason the eyeroll one was removed years ago; and even ironically, the trollface is not the sort of thing that represents this community.

    Still salty about this. Some feedback would be nice

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    Hey, sorry about the delay on this. It wasn't something any of the moderation team did, and I can dig into the backend to see if anything's been turned off.

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    I figured it was probably something vanilla pushed by accident, the trollface emoji doesn't seem your style

    Thanks, Geebs. Much appreciated

    :trollface: ugh yeah it's still there

    So I guess we should resign ourselves to the old custom emojis being gone forever at this point?
