A huge number of you requested it and the All Emoticons page is back! No, this isn’t the awesome surprise I hinted at earlier.  That surprise is still coming.  It’s been delayed due to forces beyond my control but when that surprise is announced it will be awesome so stay tuned.  It’ll be soon. In the mean time though the All Emoticons page is indeed back. The reason why I had removed it is because it basically doubles the amount of time that it takes to update this site as I have to add each emoticon to two pages. Adding more emoticons to the site is a bit time consuming.  I’ve got a giant backlog of hundreds of emoticons to add to the site and with the current site I haven’t really figured out a good way to do it quickly. There’s basically two ways to do it.  Add the emoticons one at a time from my back log to their individual pages or sort them first. If I go through my backlog list of emoticons it takes a while because I’ll add one to one category, then add the next one to a completely different page, then go to another different page for the third one, etc. Or I could try sorting my backlog list first and then add a whole bunch to each page at a time. Both methods take a decent amount of time and because I didn’t want to update the site in two places that’s why I removed the All Emoticons page. But yeah, don’t think I’m complaining, I like this site and I’m quite proud of the work I’ve done and I enjoy working on it. So now I’ve figured out a way to set up the All Emoticons page so that when I update the other pages this page updates automatically so that’ll make updating the site much faster and easier. So thanks for visiting this site, thanks for the emoticons suggestions (keep them coming!), look forward to more updates and most importantly, look for a big awesome announcement hopefully coming in another week or two at the most. Edit: I forgot to mention that the link to that page is in the upper left menu on the site.
