It's still horrible and retarded, but it's almost unheard of for the admins to actually delete smileys off the forum. There's always a huge outcry from someone somewhere.

I made the :nz: smiley which was a crying kiwi in front of the nz flag.

Someone in the NZ thread bought it, and it was delete in a smiley purge about a month later.


That was some bullshit.

I think the second one is a reference to the lovely webcomic Least I Could Do. The main character is constantly making that smugface, and has eyebrows like that.

Her name was Sonia, hence the smiley name, and she had a thread back in DPPH, which I believe was started by BlueYoda, who was dating her at the time.

I bought it because it was used in SAS a lot in N/Vs threads.

This pissed everyone off because they predicted it would be overused. It was sort of but led to a bunch of stares which are hilarious. :staredog: :catstare:

And now you now where :stare: comes from.

Just to add in, I think the artist formerly known as Power of PECOTA discovered it on another forum. There was a long period of very sparing use where you had to just include the image in your post - I think Stu Scott IRL and I were also early proponents. It was used exactly the right amount. Then you bought it and it got all over all the other forums and got run in to the ground in SAS, but things got basically equalized and it's all good.

That's the sound Law and Order makes between scenes... supposedly, that's not what I hear v:v:v I remember there was a commercial where the actors talked about it briefly and one said that. I think it was Munch.

Smilies technically last forever. They're deleted at the whims of the administration staff, though they generally don't like to delete smilies because someone, somewhere, will complain. That's why the "horrible retarded poo poo" section is so full.

When a thread is closed, the Reply button is replaced with a tiny image featuring a man and the text "Don't go there!" The man on the button is Cyrus Sahukar, a VJ on the Indian version of MTV, whose image was appropriated by Lowtax around the year 2000.

A larger version of the image he was taken from can be found here: http://j4cbo.mirror.waffleimages.co...d333dbb962e.gif
