AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a desire for more science-related smileys in the forum, particularly expressing frustration over the absence of specific emoticons like a "Muuhahaha" mad-scientist cackle or a chemist with a test tube. Users suggest that while they can find and insert smileys from other sources, the demand for new ones may not justify implementation. Some participants express a willingness to have additional smileys, while others believe the current selection suffices. The conversation reflects a mix of humor and genuine interest in enhancing communication through tailored emoticons. Overall, the need for science-themed smileys remains a topic of interest among forum members.

I often have problems finding the right smiley to express the right nuance or implied interpretation of what I mean. An example of this is that, being a science forum, I find the lack of a "Muuhahaha" mad-scientist cackle somewhat frustrating. In addition, the "devil" smiley just doesn't have that gloating, evil, anticipatory smile that I find truly expresses my soul. Furthermore, there is no chemist with a test-tube, biologist with a microscope or butterfly net, physicist with a A-bomb (in fact,that would make a nice background to the muuhahaha smiley) or anything really science related ... not even an Einstein!

Is there any chance of adding some science-related smileys to the current set?

You can always google the smiley you want and then insert it in the post by using the

Code:
[PLAIN]...[/PLAIN]

tags.

For example

I doubt that the demand is big enough to actually implement it in our forum. Well, maybe Greg is really bored :-p

I wouldn't mind a few more. Sometimes the russian-roulette icon of the guy blowing his brains out suitably captures my mood...

I find your lack of faith disturbing. The Empress thinks my demand is quite big enough but itself.

Now, that's the kind of thing that a science forum should have! :cool:

It's not science related as such but I'm wondering where this one came from? An older version? http://physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

:cool:
