I seem to use smilies quite a bit in my posts, and I'm not quite sure how I got started using them.

Actual image smilies (on forums or otherwise) kind of kill the charm, so I disable them where possible. Text smilies I like using to sort of emphasize the tone of my words, plus I just like them, I suppose. :3

I have the actual yellow smileys disabled because i find them overused and annoying, but I use text smileys heavily. :D
How ironic.
On this site at least, the great many use text emoticons. It's like everyone refuses to use graphical smilies because they're overrated or whatever, while themselves overrating the likes of 'colon capital D'. I don't mean to criticise; just an observation of mine.

I use "XD" or "XP" a lot, but none of those image based ones.

I have always disliked the premade smilies so when you type in ":D" you get that weird toothy grin.. never liked those.
I do also dislike the ^^ and the ^-^ and such.. but I'm fine with most others. It just kind of makes your how you fell about something clearer. This is good to avoid misunderstandings. (I've had a few)

I adore text smileys and use them all the time :3
But I hate the emoticon guys like what Espy uses. They just don't appeal to me. :/

I stopped using them.. I'll seldom use things like XD T_T <3 and such, but not very often. I find them tolerable as long as they're not overused, and are understandable, so I won't have to search the internet to actually understand what that emoticon means. What I really dislike is people replying solely with emoticons. It's really annoying for me.
