Why is the thumbs up (:agree:) set as :agree : and not :thumbsup: ?

Just wondering, as it sometimes seems odd to type :agree : when I feel like I am adding a thumbs up symbol. :D

Not requesting a change. Just curious!

I could add a quaint remark.....but I've been infraction free for over a month at least and I've a wager with someone that I can stay infraction free till the end of the year. :agree:

Damn it's too hard all this behaving myself. Folks will be thinking I've went soft. (No funny remarks please..I beg of you)

I'd like to take some of that action that you can't. :P

Why is the thumbs up (:agree:) set as :agree : and not :thumbsup: ?Cuz that's the way it was set up when it was first set up. And we're kinda nostalgic around these parts. :blush:

And yet I still type :thumbup: and have to change it to :agree: (well, once I remember that it's :agree:).

Can't we add both? Wouldn't that solve it for everyone? :)

Emoticon aliasing!

I like the idea, but is it worth the hassle of adding :thumbsup: as an alias (and perhaps even having to program it in?)? :P

I can live with "agree" :agree:

Oddness is not always a bad thing. "Oddness" now that is a heck of a word, haha!
