I've just had this page pointed out to me; http://www.truthtree.com/learn-smiley.shtml It looks suspiciously like someone has pinched the hootoo smilies. Maybe they are allowed to, I don't know the rules but it does look a bit dodgy.

Have you emailed the eds? If I remember correctly, the smileys are copywrited.

It does, doesn't it? Maybe someone should mention it to the italics...

That sounds to me like a date before the alien smilies were introduced. Which would mean that the copyright infringement was the other way round. Or my sense of time has gone absolutely haywire. (I do not exclude the latter - can someone tell me when the smilies were introduced on hootoo?)

Yeh not sure what the best course of action is on it really. If they are copyrighted then we ought to let them know. Is there a page on here for this sort of thing?
