yeah... I'll agree with Stormy there.... I don't like them because else where I'll post "Delay the charge" and it comes out something like :)lay the charge"

I think the emotes are just fine. In fact, I like them alot better than most of the other smilies from other sites.
   And Cornys, you can always disable smilies when you post, it's not that hard. :-P

when I post fan fics... lol... but I don't like them anyhow really

Only thing I could think to change or add really that anybody else has it all ready being put into place... lol

Mabey adding more threads per page or refreshing when ever new posts are made while preserving the message you might have been typing... but nobody else has those things anyhow...

But yeah, just click the "View more Emoticons" link to see all of them. There're more than enough if you ask me.

And theres a LOT of blank space at the top. You need a bigger banner.

I think if you made it look better, more people would join.
Because the better a forum looks, the more people think it is active ^_^
