funkypool would be good if they had smileys like these on the chatboxes.

There are a few smileys use ctrl and the number pad to bring em up

If they had smileys like that it would almost certainly enduce spamming.

But that's my opinion.

Maybe you can only use 5 every 5 minutes?

added lag problems would be enduced i think as when a player sends a graphic emoticon it requires more than the normal character amount of memory.

Also i'm surprised this hasnt been mentioned but with the current text size the size of the emoticons would be tiny and pixelated.

ok thankyou for all the comments.

all the comments above are true however there's one thing you can do to get smileys in chat simply click on "start" all programs,"accessories","system tools" and finally click on "character map"
