Giraffe himself invited me to download it and gave the link. (He didn’t say specifically anything one way or the other about hotlinking.)

Later in that thread, he gave the link to all the rest of the smilies.

Take note! We experimented a bit with other smilies in that thread, including some of the animated ones, which we all agreed were smila non grata here. This led to a revision to the board rules to the effect that animated smilies are explicitly forbidden (and, IIRC, maybe even a bannable offense)!

ETA:  
Note, like all other hotlinked in-line images, it only works on a line by itself. You can’t embed it in the middle of a line of text.

And this. The old :smack: smilie (which I believe was custom drawn by a Doper for this board) was definitely more expressive in a way that the peek-a-boo version totally isn’t.
