It's annoying, especially in Tech Support where people discuss, in particular, streaming and resolutions. :d is a much better option in my opinion. Optionally, allow disabling of smilies completely in a post.

I know you used to be able to insert a \ between elements of a smiley to cancel it out.

Something happened to the code. Doesn't work anymore ._.

the question is. If they change it, people are gonna start looking crazy in the tech forums having to escape out every : 9. Someone reading this in 100 years time will be looking through these threads and have literally NO IDEA why all the people are avoiding : 9 when it doesn't actually do anything.

I'm 100% sure you're the only one who cares about how people will perceive 2 characters 100 years from now.

He looks like he has been shot anyway, another one to finish him off?

The real issue is ": + 9" is actually an inaccurate representation of the emoticon .

If you rotate the basic layout of the emoticon, you can see that it doesn't match the representative form of : + 9.

In reality...
Bear with me...

is really ": + with 6 flipped"

I move that all smileys be replaced with little animated jpgs of artosis waving at you with a big smile and a stalk of celery in one hand. and :\9 shouldn't be changed... as has been pointed out future psychological cultural anthropoligists will think the entire community suffered from bad obsessive compulsive disorder relating to the number 9
All hail the Queen!!!
