Suggestion: Let’s add Multismashie to the board, along with a rule that anyone who actually uses it will suffer instant bannage. Everyone wins! ---

And for those who weren’t here, a few years ago, there was a months-long board crash, and the whole message board was relocated to a place where Smashie was available. And we used him. We found many, many uses for Smashie. And oh, how we loved him, and, alas, how we miss Smashie. Bonk, bonk, bonk on the head! ---

I agree with **Malodorous** - No animated smilies,\* please.\* I could see a use for a Yukkie. We have two free spaces, and this one :o is useless, not used and I don’t even know what it is supposed to be- blowjob? 😕 ---

I’d be happy with a little tinkering on the ones we have now. On my system, ☹ , :mad: , and 😕 are too dark to see the facial expressions. :o does not clearly mean “embarrassment.” It looks more like yawning or snoring. Even when I zoom it up to 400% (hey, it has a tongue!) it doesn’t look embarrassed. ---
