Cha-cha-cha-CHANGES! YA! What changes am I talkin about? Hi I'm Gwen, the owner of GwenAqua72511 inc. Now I will call it Gwen72511 inc., no I'm not being mean to Aqua, but, as I have told you, Aqua has left the building (metaphorically speaking, she is no longer running the site). She is not coming back on the site, there is a little tension in the air.

I have edited it cuz there were som not nice ones but if u find anymore inapropriat 1s tell me thnks!

The basic "smiley" is:

In context, this means "I'm happy to hear from you", or other pleasantry. Sometimes used in place of voice inflection to express a sarcastic or joking statement.

The smiley can also wink, as in "tongue in cheek":

or be sarcastic:

:-> 
and even frown:

This one is indifferent; better than a frown but not as good as happy: :-I

Those are basic smileys. Here are some specialties:

8-)
:-{)
:-Q
@

Meaning, respectively, the writer wears sunglasses, has a moustache, smokes, wears a turban.

The smiley can also indicate subtleties of mood and response:

:-/
:-e
:-7
:-X

... laughing, skeptical, disappointed, wry, keeping lips sealed.

Many signs (maybe the majority) are simply absurd fun, verging on the unintelligible:

:-F
*:o)
+-
@=
