Hiya Eds.
Any chance of some new smileys now?

We'll have to get back to you on that one. It's worth considering though.
Has anyone polled responses to what the 'Most Wanted' smileys would be?

Well and are the most popular.
We actually have 49 members exactly so I would say that constitutes a hootoo movement if ever I saw one. 
And it has been a looooooonnnnnnggggg time since we last had any new smileys.

Well...considering I did a nekid dance....mud wrestling...and various other things to get a smiley, I can't see any reason why not!!! 
It would save a 2 year campaign from going down the drains!

Actually, what I meant was the request for new smileys is something to think about (and something we've already made a few investigations about), but as Traveller notes, we will have to look at *all* of the campaigns in the last two years.
Bear in mind we won't provide smileys for:
- copyright images (so Marvin's a no-)
- something that could be used offensively
- something that, even if it's popular, won't have any practical use
What we'd be looking for with a new Smiley collection are smileys that will have value to the most amount of people. 'biker' is a great example of that, but 'nighthoover probably isn't.

Ferrettbadger. The Renegade Master Posted Jun 3, 2005
Yeah I expect nothing less.
There are lots of campaigns all of who have there own suggestions.
I think it is high time we had some new ones though.
I would say that on the basis of this:-
"something that, even if it's popular, won't have any practical use"
then the likes of and 
could be great.

You still haven't told us what the smiley would be for...then again I don't see what the smiley is for either

Some people would use them as their signatures, I suppose. Which doesn't make them particularly useful, as they'd only be used by a small subset of people.
But they're fun!
