When did the "putz" smiley disappear?

I’m usually an observant person and I have an acuity for noticing minor changes, but I’ll be damned that I’ve missed this one for who knows how long. I hadn’t noticed it, but someone in another thread wrote “we need that putz smiley back” (or something to that effect). I never used it myself and I have no need to use it at the moment. Now that I think about it, it’s been awhile since I have seen the putz smiley. As I opened up the editor for this thread I looked to the right and sure enough, the putz is gone! What I’d like to know is, when did it disappear, and why?

I also noticed the Jewish man is gone, too. Did I miss a recent vote on which smileys need to be cast out? While I’m at it, if we’re going to do away with two of the smileys, is there any chance we can get the popularly requested “puke” smiley to fill one of the vacancies?

The “Putz!” or “Wally” and “Happy Orthodox Jew” smilies were removed in August.

Thanks for the quick reply. I seem to have missed the thread you linked.

I blame gay marriage.

And I miss Wally. We were buds!

Yeah, I always thought those two had a thing for each other. Who’s next? I’m betting on these two: :smiley: :o

So, should we start a smilie dead pool?

I didn’t know any of them were even sick.

Am I the only one who laughed at this?

I’d like a pukey smiley, and if possible a better embarrased smiley than the one we have.
