Old Emojis Gone?

DarmakDarmak RAGEvympyvvhyc vyctyvyRegistered User regular
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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    :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?
