It’s a joke. 
We need better emojis!

What's the rush? this thread started in Dec 2021?No. It’s not progress.
Rev told me that he has more important things in terms of site functions right now. He promised me that he would eventually do it (via pm)
But I just don’t know if my request will just be thrown in the back burner and forgotten. Adding emojis is not time consuming (I used to run a forum) and I know a different forum that uses the same hosting as this forum uses and they did it with no experience in tech). R2R has people in tech that definitely have the capability to add simple emojis.
This is something very important to me. I’m not trying to be overdramatic. It’s the worst feeling when a person can’t express themselves and tone. It really feels limiting.
Suggestion; Go back to school and take a creative writing class and learn to express yourself in prose. Emoji's are sign language. Learn to write the language and you can replace your emotions with words. for instance, I am pleading with you right now to read what you wrote about the Rev sending you a written communication indicating that the site wants to move slowly and carefully in adding new features.
the change you are requesting may cost money, it may cost bandwidth, it may mean he don't have time for a water change right now but he has heard your plea and will be talking with staff at their Friday meeting. Today is Friday. It could happen today! ;Pompus
So let me ask, what did my emoji indicate to you? I have no idea what that one means but my words are slightly more clear. I hope so?
Am I hostile? Rude? Helpful? Or maybe just an AZhole (tourist from Arizona that came to CA for a party weekend)? Words mean more than symbols, or slurs.
In defense of words, with just a few emojis inserted for clarification of emotions;Peeking
And as a bonus, a fun GIF just because the site added those instead of emoji's?
Now I understand! Thank you. my bad.It’s a joke.

A picture is worth a thousand words? But only if you understand the language.

^ I am so confused what this even means. Stop look and listen? Is this a 90's rap song?

I need a large and diverse selection of emojis so I (and others) can start typing like this:
Guys, those of you who are emoji skeptics, hear me out. Think of the possibilities.
