And they're all the worse off for it!

A few new ones would be good though. The only one added since I joined the site is this delightful little fella: :pac:

I miss the brief cameo viking smiley got in the Rock/Metal forum.

Apart from :pac: I think Boards should get rid of all the others. ASCII 4 life, yo.

Don't think so.
Browser is set to UK English. I set it again, to be sure and spellings are still being corrected to US English.

False. The last request for another smiley was 4 years ago in May of 2008. Smileys ultimately declared 8-bit Jihad on the admins for trying to replace Rolleyes with a Cyclops, seen in this photo. Which concurrently was a seperate request to replace the Rolleyes with a new smiley that was less offensive to easily offended people.
