What's an Emoticon?

Emoticons (or Smileys) are often used when communicating over the INTERNET to indicate the intention of the sender. It is not possible to see the wry smile on a persons face when he/she makes a witty remark about something you have you said or done.

Because of this it is often possible to misinterpret the true meaning behind someone's remark.

Emoticons are strings of characters which when added to a message will help to identify the true meaning of a statement. The emoticon is actually a pictorial representation of a face showing a particular emotion (although it has now been expanded to show a wide variety if things). These emoticons were originally designed when it was not possible to show a picture, so in order to give the effect of a drawing a series of characters are used which look like a picture when viewed in the correct way.
Please view the line below by tilting your head to the left

:o)

You should see a simple image of a happy face.

There are various lists of emoticons available for use. We have chosen some of more classic and common as well as the newer and more obscure emoticons for use at the Hardcore Movie Forum. These emoticons will be converted by our forum software and displayed using a proper image (see the list below).


As there are various lists of emoticons and different people type them in different ways, we have written our software to allow for the variations which may be used to create the same common emoticon.
e.g.

:) :-) and :o)

are all the same happy face

The variations which may be used as an emoticon are shown in the list below using different colours.
