Yes, ALL of them! It will liven things up!
Yes, but just SOME of them! Don't overdo it
No, things are fine here as they are!
No, and get rid of the ones that are here now
I don't care. Smileys are too complicated for me.
What are smileys?

I got an email alert once that said downloading smileys was one of the best ways to get a virus. Has this changed or was the info I got wrong?

I say the mo' smileys the mo' better.

Some of us come here for serious discussion. To learn, answer questions, ask questions, offer hiking advice to newbies and also to learn about new things and techniques out there.
The smileys to me, were always a distraction and seemed to be used most by those who make many irrevelant posts and short snide remarks that seem to have no use except to take up bandwidth. (in other words, those who have too much time on their hands and spend it on all on whiteblaze)
Of course sometimes, they could be used to say something or put some emotion on your post. But, too many abuse them so much that they don't have the same meaning anymore.
People who do things in excess so often ruin it for everybody. IMHO of course!
I guess that sort of goes along the same lines as HYOH huh?
Right now we can't smile our own smiles. When we go to Sgt Rocks we can. Waaahhhh.

My guess is that if there is enough 'sniveling' ATtroll may relent.

nice outfit ron
Well here is my opinion on smiley’s. I few are not bad if used in the right manner. There are some people here that over do the smile’s. Personally I wished I had never added the extras smiley’s to the site when we started it. I remember SGT Rock not wanting me to add anymore. I guess he has changed his out look smiley’s since then from what I see on his web site and that is his prerogative .
Like a few said a lot of people come to the web site for serious discussion and some come because they have no life outside of WhiteBlaze, LOL . The web site was created for people to come to and read and share information about preparing for thru hiking or section hiking the AT. Not to read post filled with smiley’s. If you want a crap load of smiliey’s then go to one of the kiddy web sites .
If I wanted it to be a kiddy web site I would add more smiley’s as it is now we have to many problems trying to keep people in line. I think smiley’s is one less thing we need to worry about . No disrespect to Rock or Dixie but if you want to post smile’s and that is all you want to do then go to the HikingHQ web site and have a ball .
