I was wondering this. If we were to send a custom-made image to be made into a smiley, and someone who could change the DN's interface were to like it, would they be able to make said image into a smiley?
The reason I am asking is because I'm currently making a few smileys for a Therian website for some Catkin and would like to make something for the DN that doesn't require lots and lots of code and would be enjoyed by everyone. Also, I wouldn't be very good at making reviews because I suck at describing something.

Example of cat smiley.

Tal and redink1 are never coming back, and getting someone to change to interface without redink1/Tal's permission, I think, would be illegal. Nothing here is going to change.

The thought of replacing our array of emoticons with more Dinky emoticons has actually crossed my mind before. As Abs pointed out, the problem is that we need redink1 or Tal to change stuff like that. Redink1 has traditionally been pretty good at responding to emails though, so I wouldn't write it off as a complete impossibility.

If you wanted to make completely new emoticons, I can think of a few more problems with that... 1) it would be more trouble to implement, and 2) the emoticons should be generally useful for emoting something.
