Good idea. Dimrill, draw some now, send them to me, and I'll quickly upload and install them before anyone has a choice to voice their fair opinion.

Good work lads.

50% yes vote. Lots of peeps saying if they don't like them they turn them off (so no problem there).

That's enough call for revamped smilies yes?

I am perfectly chilled. I just want to make it clear that there are no favourites being played, just because Dimrill owns a pencil and I know his Mum.

It would be a mistake to close the poll now. It's only 11AM on the first working day of the week, and the poll only went up Sunday night. Give it 'til the end of the day or until tomorrow morning.

You're right (for some reason I thought this was brought up on Friday).

Tally up at the end of the week?

There are loads of great smilies on the web to chose from, I'm sad enough to have a very full folder of them myself.
(This is in fact because I have designed and run several forums btw, not that I just like to have..smilies..) :?

Well then, you should have used a smiley to that effect. SEE WHAT HAPPENS?

I would have, but some people have them turned off so they'd never have known.

I suppose I can reveal this now that big icey drinks have been drunk by certain people. I did start working on some smilies and posted them in the mod area for people to peruse, but it almost caused world war 3 and the meltdown of brain matter. So I abandoned them. Here were the first I worked on:
smiley=Image
huge grin=Image
huger grin=Image
sad=Image
winky=Image
slightly angry=Image
angry=Image
shock=Image
wideeyes=Image
nerd=Image
and 2 I'm not that happy with because the detail's lost when reduced down to 19px
cry=Image
love=Image

HATIES more like.

I was using Zardoz's's's'z'z'zzes gradient from the banner. Just to tie the room together.

None taken. That's one of the reasons why I abandoned them, really, was that I'm sick of looking at pixel art smilies but my sketches don't translate well when scaled down to small sizes.

As a rule, I don't use smilies, figuring that If I'm sufficiently rubbish with english, then an overused picture isn't going to help.

But that sad smily and/or the slightly angry one may get used occasionally, for they are all kinds of awesome.

Ah, but of course! I wasn't suggesting as such, good sir. But so that nobody can say "Hey, I did these awesome Boosh smilies, but then those cunts just went with Dimrill's because he was the first to make some, and his are better, and aren't about the Boosh."

Actually, I just want nobody to ever mention the Boosh again, so this is all good.

Boosh... Boosh... *shivers*

I love them Dimrill - they're unique, and that's what's poifect! It would be better if there were one brown Monkey one though...

Really, it would. Also, Monkey is orange-y brown, which is the highlight colour of the board, so it would make even more sense, yes it would.

As I said before, this all wasn't supposed to come out until we had some viable alternatives to the current ones. Oh well...

Oh, I know that, Myo, you sillybilly you. I'm just saying again that we need a consensus as to whether or not to have any - and if so, which ones, having perhaps given a few days for anyone who was interested in making some, to do so.

It's all good. Although, um... if markg wants them installed now, I'd do it for him :oops:

How about we just do it, and then see what the (inevitable) complaints are like? Otherwise we'll get nowhere.
