• The post icons seriously need an update
    37 replies, posted
What the hell? There's even a Wii post icon. Also, we're a bigger forum nowadays and we need to have more post icons that match recurring topics. Like maybe a suggestion one, or a controversial topic one maybe? Also there are some that are NEVER used like the REPEAT? one, and I don't even think anyone knows what it means, I sure don't. Does anyone else agree? And a funny thing! When I first tried to post this thread it occurred an error that said I needed to chose a post icon, but there is isn't anyone who fits!!!!
haha facepunch isn't gonna get updated
The only thing garry does is take away our liberties.....and most of the post images. :eagle:
[QUOTE=Darkwater124;46836369]haha facepunch isn't gonna get updated[/QUOTE] Yeah, but don't you think it should? Maybe hire some designers and stuff. When you think about it many things on this forum seem very outdated. Going to this site is like taking a portal back to 2009.

people look at post icons?
Post icons, historically, have been a community effort

[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;46836694]Post icons, historically, have been a community effort[/QUOTE] I believe someone has already made icons for the Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4 and sent them to Garry. I remember seeing those icons being shown off in the Wii U thread.
post icons don't even matter anymore hell theres guy named SexualShark who always makes threads in SH and always marks them with a NSFW icon when it's not even NSFW
I don't even remember a time when I've been on Facepunch where post icons were even relevant.
[QUOTE=zeromancer;46837197]I don't even remember a time when I've been on Facepunch where post icons were even relevant.[/QUOTE] I feel like I remember a short time where Mods cared...I think it was mostly in the old news section
I only really use post icons to make it ironic to the thread I'm posting (99% of which is in SH). "Man leans over tiger fence and gets mauled" = Funny icon "National Geographic releases its photo of the year" = Photoshop icon etc
I always found it amusing that a Wii icon existed at all.
Mods used to care, but I doubt the general community ever did.

And vice versa for question threads, no matter how well asked the question. Good times!

Didn't there used to be a big warning when you posted a thread that you better pick a good icon or you'll get banned?
[QUOTE=Karmah;46842947][B]-1000 Smartness[/B][/QUOTE] My username is because this account was originally a throwaway. OIFY had said that if you typed: proboards proboards proboards proboards proboards proboards proboards proboards U+[your user ID] then you would get automatic gold membership. but proboards was not a real word so it was automatic -5000 smartness, which resulted in instaban. I was a stupid 12 year old so I tried it.
I'd like a post icon that's literally just a giant turd
You used to be able to use tamper data to change the post icon ID from whatever you chose to 52 (garry's post ID) and use garry's post Icon. They did it a lot in OIFY

I swear to god people mention this every single year and nothing ever gets changed
[QUOTE=cubis;46853084]I swear to god people mention this every single year and nothing ever gets changed[/QUOTE] Actually a good few years back garry started fucking with the forums and asked for some new icons. I remember making a few crappy ones that actually got put in, though the whole thing was reverted after a few days.

I never had perfect smartness. I would edit my posts afterwards to get it perfect and it would look nice. It really makes things easier to read.
