Now I know everybody loved smashie the ultra-violent smilie but sadly he is no longer with us. I notice that there are 2 extra spaces for Smilies, who should take up the extra spaces? Skull and Crossbone Smilie comes to mind but who else could join the Smilie family? ---

Puke smiley! Puke smiley! We need a puke smiley! Puke smiley! Puke smiley! Yay, puke smiley! OK, the puke smiley doesn’t need to actually be puking (I’d prefer if it weren’t), but it does need to convey a general “yuck” feeling. That sanguine tongue-sticking-out smiley just doesn’t cut it. ---

A new Puke Smilie would be usefull, especially if a newbie asks someone to explain what “Munging” is. ---

Um usefull for the newbie, once they find out. I wasnt too clear on that. I do like the new features of vBulletin. Well worth the wait. and it seems faster too. ---
