Let's see how many downvotes/upvotes this get
I don't see emoticons for :thinking:,

raying:=begging, :crying:, :thumps up:, :thumps down:, :cheers:=proposing with drink, :clapping:, :reading:, :dancing:=celebrating -- stuff that are used frequently in forums.
Also emoticons with speech bubbles, saying "Hi!", "Welcome!", "Thanks!", "Good Night!", "Yes!", "No!", "I'm sorry!", "Off Topic!", "Oops!", "Help!", "Bye!", "Cool!" -- stuff like that I see in other sites -- except if there is a reason for wanting to keep it spartan?
