That's discriminating against the Vasudans and Shivans who visit this board. They might get angry.
And you know what happens when Vasudans and Shivans get angry... :nervous:

Good Q... There wasn't much real competition, though... kinda disappointed. :doubt: Oh well.
I'd organize a voting thread, but I've not the time... perhaps Setekh can do it. I'll bug 'im. ;)

As far as disrupting the smiley grid, there's no reason you couldn't create a 15x15 thumbnail of a larger smilie.
BTW, WTF is that red thing hovering at the tip of the smoke plume in the :thepimp: smilie?

For that matter, all emoticons are disembodied, noseless, improbably spherical heads of an unhealthy color.

Have you thought of viewing it against a white background?
:D
Post by: ZylonBane on January 10, 2003, 10:17:56 am
Nope.
Doesn't matter if those black pixels are there or not when you can't see them. :ha:

You were asking what the red thing was. I doubt the creator of that smiley was thinking about black backgrounds when he drew it, so it doesn't matter that on black it looks disconnected. It's connected. Live with it. :p
