I've seen those smilies on other vBulletin message boards. Perhaps there was a change in versions of this message board. The new smilies look weird on the dark side. I hope we can bring back the old smilies.
I never left, dudes. I've always been here. Sometimes, a SwoLy gotta take a CF break... you know... and live his REAL life. C'mon, now. ¡AY, NO! ¿Dónde estan los smilies...? Heyyyy... WTF? Why are all YOUR smilies different than mine? Spoiler How about you SUCK A MEAN, NASTY, JUICY, AND CREAM-FILLED-CHURRO-TASTIN' d... I mean, uh... YOU WISHED.
That Swoly post actually PWNS, especially with the vintage smilies. I kind of like that the new ones look hairy against the dark background, which is of course my palette of choice. This guy is the best: Against the dark, this looks like a bunch of late 70's punk rockers. And they're not happy!
They look like the dudes from the Gameboy game Double Dragons. (back when I used to play on that 5 pound gray brick)
Thank you, Clutch, for putting the old Smilies back. EDIT: WHAT THE? One time they're back, the next they're gone.
