It used to be the case that Shim's account, and only that account, would display 
as http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/images/s_fish.gif - as noted on A2593992.
I think I remember seeing the blue fish in action, but in these posts by Shim I see a normal fish now:
F7926?thread=10611&skip=0&show=5#p33501
F7926?thread=10611&skip=75&show=5#p86753
What happened? Did the special code get lost? (F47996?thread=6412365&skip=20&show=20#p77447715 mentions a conversion from C++ to C#.) If so, has it been put out to pasture? Or has it been secretly reassigned to some other staff UID...?

Oh, I see: the Shim posting to F7926?thread=10611&skip=75&show=5#p86753 is U168515, not U23.
Hmm: Researcher 23 has a rather disappointing Personal Space, I must say.

You can still see it in action, as I borrowed it for my own Upage, (at the end of the Prisoner quote that scrolls across the top of the page).
