eta 2: with you WITH YOU and just because it feels good to laugh again.

 

[ChiefD]

Indeed. Thank you @Joe Bryant. Much appreciated.

Thanks @Joe Bryant and team.

Hi, Hi, Miss American Pie.

 

[gianmarco]

This is truly glorious.

I'll take this over yoga pants any day.

 

[gianmarco]

Thanks @Joe Bryant and team.

Oh, and congrats on getting 100 laughing reactions today.

no laugh emoji for you. I'm saving them.

 

[AAABatteries]

Awesome - thanks Joe.

 

[James Daulton]

What in the who?  I guess Joe took my argument to heart.

I should probably have been an attorney. 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Now we just need the dark theme back and life will be perfect.

 

[sho nuff]

Its the only way I ever "won the day"...I mean most of them were mocking laughs that day...but a win is a win.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh to keep from crying.

I wonder if the person responsible for its earlier demise will go back to his old tricks. I choose to remain optimistic that he will have learned his lesson and will start contributing thoughtful, nuanced discussion to this forum.

(If you don't share my optimism, feel free to respond with a laughing emoji.) 

 

[Joe Bryant]

Hi Folks,

We're going to give it another try with the laughing emoji as one of the response choices. 

The big thing here is we want to use it for laughing WITH people.

Never to laugh AT people. 

It had been abused enough we finally removed it a while back.

I'm willing to give it a try again and see if people can be more cool this time.

Please let's try to make this work. 

Thanks.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Good stuff.

 

[bushdocda]

We can have nice things!

Does anybody remember laughter??

It was a lot of people. On both sides of the spectrum. 

 

[Joe Bryant]

I'll merge the two threads.

 

[WDIK2]

What a terrible mistake.

That's a joke incase anyone was wondering.   

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

In that case, I hope they all start contributing thoughtful posts. I like having that emoji as an option, but if that's the sum total of your contributions here, maybe you should rethink your life choices.

Thanks for listening Joe!

It was a lot of people. On both sides of the spectrum. 

Interestingly, yesterday was the 60th anniversary of a game wherein the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the Knicks 169-147. That’s a total of 316 points scored in that game. Obviously, to get that many points took contributions from many players on both teams. But, really, we all know it as the Wilt Chamberlain 100 points game.

We also all really know who the Wilt Chamberlain of using the laughing emoji to troll posters is. Here’s hoping he (and yes, everyone else including me, too) has learned to use his words.

 

[gianmarco]

I promise to use the laugh emoji carefully and diligently and not with reckless abandon.

With great emojis comes great responsibility

Speak for yourself.  I'm handing these suckers out like business cards at an 80's insurance convention.

Balls of steel.

Balls of steel.

I was genuinely concerned about breaking it all there.

I know Joe knows me a little- best intentions and all that- but I had double up the edit just to make sure.

 

[Tom Servo]

Whoa...let's not be hasty here.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I’m a little mystified how “I’m not mad, I’m laughing actually” was ever considered anything other than an epic self-own anyway. But good job. Floppo.

You clearly have much to learn in the ways of passive aggressiveness, young grasshopper

Laughter

All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter

Laughing at my cries

Should have had a  emoji instead of the laughing one for those type of responses anyways.

It's good to laugh again.

 

[dickey moe]

I'm confident we can all operate as adults here with no future banning of said emoticon necessary.

And for sure, you're welcome to hit the laughing emoji response on that post.

State of the FFA today.

Let's not get this shut down, guy.

I just reported everyone who responded to a post in this thread with an emoji other than the laugh. Was that wrong?

 

[Drunken knight]

Let's not get this shut down, guy.

-> laughing with you, not at you

 

[AAABatteries]

Can we now get an emoji for laughing at someone?  I want to hold the record for something around here and I feel like that's something I am good at.



or

This

Would work

 

[Mister CIA]

Come on y'all, let's get @El Floppo up to a 100 laugh reacts.

 

[NutterButter]

And you even get a green border around your post that matches the color of your avatar.   How did you become so awesome?

 

[Chemical X]

mods, please move this to the politics forum.  tia

In the least surprising news of the day, the thread on this in the PSF spiraled down exactly as you thought it would...

Reading the first page of that thread made me irritated. So I'll give it credit for provoking emotion.

Just curious: when the laughing emoji was eliminated, what happened to all of those likes? Were they converted to regular likes, or were they just deleted? And have they been restored?

I think they just went away. I don't have any idea if any of the responses are tallied or kept up with for emojies. I'd assume not.
