Thanks to Stimpy, we now have 3 (three, count them, three) new proposed smilies.

I like Stimp’s vacant.
It will be fun to see how people use these things.
I like the one that looks like this

Also, the moving ones. A few more of those would be nice.
Remember when we had some that rolled their eyes?
That middle one of Stimpy’s would be great for that.
How about one in the shape of Texas?
They’re really cute. I like the donkeys especially: would this lead to saying deliberately silly things just to have an excuse for the donkey smiley? The beer mug is pretty good too. Ah, I’ve worked it out now - perhaps one could lead to the other.
Am I the only one getting a “page not found” error when I try to load this page?
Nope, the Angelfire site has been going through heavy maintenance the past 2 days.
They tell me it’s because they are adding features,
but if the “improvement” continues too long I will have to move the site to another server.
I use several, but preferred Angelfire until they were taken over by Lycos. Since then they have had growing pains.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
The other side is slow loading, so use this one to view
** Proposed Smilies: http://www.geocities.com/proposedsmilies/ **
tshirts: I like most of the ideas and think they’d make great smilies, but I, personally, would prefer that the smilies have the same ‘look’ to them. Same average size, same coloring schemes, same shading schemes, you know? Of course, this is all just my opinion.
Great ideas and creations, guys!

i think this would be possible with a little bit of tinkering here and there - don’t know how re the donkeys! but i think the more smilies the better. you know, for the lazy and illiterate of us who wish to say it with a yellow circle! sometimes a smile can say a lot…
:eek: :o
The donkey is the funniest thing I have ever seen on the net.
If they are actually going to set up some new ones, they’re welcome to any of these:
Wow, you’ve wasted no time adding things.
IIRC, the last time you offered you had about the same number the SDMB did.
You certainly have covered Just Call Me Tech-Mex’s requests for moving smilies.
So, give us some specific advice:
Does it take much time to add them?
(I’ve offered to add them here, or do most of the prep at least, if the Reader’s staff is too busy.)
I’m the smiley administrator, I’m the person you talk to about getting stuff installed. I also install new ones.
I promise I’ll try to get to it in the next week or so, I need to run 'em by Ed first. Sorry I hadn’t gotten to this already, I’ve been inundated with other stuff both here and irl and this went right to the bottom of the list. Nothing personal.

That was my idea. Here’s to you Celyn :cheers:
Well, if you do want any help, I’m always available, and on short notice.
I will assign generic names to the unnamed ones.
I could email the ones I haven’t already sent to you earlier,
but they are probably easier to get by webpage-to-webpage file tranfers.
Well, if we’ve got a donkey anyway, I’ve been toying around with making an Invisible Pink Unicorn smiley. Heck, we should have a smiley for every religious belief! ;j I’m not sure, though, if a representation of Her would be considered blasphemous, so I haven’t sent it in to tshirts yet.
Oh, and don’t worry about that ÷Ð one… It really only looks right in text, not GIF.
I liked the ÷Ð one!
Leave them all in. And add every one you can. It doesn’t matter if they match. I really like the variations people come up with.
The more the merrier! They are free and cheer up the place, what’s not to like?
And why would a pink unicorn be blasphemous?
Not just any old pink unicorn, The Invisible Pink Unicorn. Do a search in GD for “IPU” or “Unicorn” to get an idea of Whom I’m talking about.
Chronos, how about a pink elephant, too? I’d use that one a lot…
I see the “[hijack]What I wanna talk about [/hijack]” thing all the time. How 'bout a special hijack smilie. I have no graphical capabilities at all (i’m a programmer for god’s sake), but maybe a smilie with a pirate hat or an eye patch or a dagger in its mouth or something.
Just my 2 cents (hey wanit a minute, how do you do the cents thing on a MS Natural 104 key on a win 2k sys?)
