This is the first time I've seen this thread. I feel like Buliwyf in
The 13th Warrior: 'Are you wearing that long face for me?' I had no idea I was thought of so highly.
Further to the origins of my smiley: I'm not that much of an expert; I just did a bit of php scripting when BW needed a hand with Movies. My disproportionate reward for not accidentally deleting the forum was my cancerous yellow friend.
As it happens, he replaces this old fellow: the pimp smiley from the original EZBoard forum, of whom I'm quite fond.
[EDIT]: I've just realised that not everyone can see that smiley, so I've changed it into an attachment.
