Does everyone else also think that the smilies in this forum are really awsome?
You can't beat these.
They were designed by two regular Wincustomize forum members. DigitalChet and Bebibulma.
Nice folks too.
I agree, they are great!
Clearly work and effort went into them and with no real disrespect for their creators intended, they're just a little too Hello Kitty for my taste. But I bet children really love them. Luckily they've kept the old standards around for those of us with curmudgeonly dispositions.
the new I-Mod ones will be nice...that is if I ever finish them ^^

Yes love them!!
The new equivalent is one of the better new ones but doesn't quite capture the essence which to me should give the impression of imminent projectile vomiting.
I don't usually like custom smilies, but when they are all consistant across an entire site, they can be great.
In this case, they're bloody awesome!
(and yes, I did this post solely to try out my new avatar)
Some not-so smiley smileys too!
That just flew right over my head.
Also, loving these smilies.
Howdy folks!
I'm not as much of a frequenter of the boards these days, but I can honestly say I've been liking the new things that have been going on. The new smilies are pretttttty slick! Kudos to Alf and Steph on their great designs! Love some of the expressions
Wincustomize (and all associated stardockian sites) have come a long way since I originally created the emoticon set... None of this gloss and shine, thats for sure! Oddly enough, when I made the smilies, I figured they'd look good in green (although I think I must have been a little nuts... Something about matching the lizard or some such thing), but T-Man quickly set me straight.
I was a big fan of the original WinCustomize smilies, and as such, I wanted to match what those conveyed the most... For those who frequently use poor spelling, you more than likely get subjected to Jafo's personal emoticon from time to time. Those personal icons that the Admins all had were a fun addition to things, and I found that I ended up making a small collection of them on my own computer just for fun. Doreen's was cute, as well as China's. Oi, this is taking me back down Memory Lane©...
Most of the folks on the boards now probably dont remember me from when I first showed up on WinCustomize as "jdcerebro"... That was almost six years ago! I was... 15 at the time, and had just started playing around on my parents computer and was bored with the look. WinCustomize was a site I kinda grew up with. It was a cool moment for me to take part in the design of the smilies to coincide with a new site look. That was quite the upgrade, and I was glad that my designs were well-recieved.
At any rate, I love the new smilies (although, as 99% of people said when MINE came out, they're too big!) and I'm glad that the community continues to help direct and contribute-to the way the forums and sites, as a whole, develop.
FYI, a screenshot of the development of my smilies... I found the original PSD's and other source files a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
Teh link!

THERE IS STILL HOPE!
and what a nice avatar too, fire emblem. good times...
which one is that a pic from?
I'm going to try to refrain from changing my avatar all too often, since it tends to confuse me a lot when other people do it.
I'm still waiting for the Flash Ten bug to be fixed so I can upload my new avatar.....
They should be called Facies. Not all of them are smilies.
Or Iconies, cause not all of them are faces.
