BellaBear · 30/05/2008 18:25

no...

Molesworth · 30/05/2008 18:28

the sleep one is animated

it's a slippery slope from there to ticker tapes

LuckyStrike · 30/05/2008 18:31

ooh - he's taken them away now. No fun Bigtech . we want to be able to reminisce about the hideous smilies in years to come and link to that page

NoTeapots · 31/05/2008 00:46

The link is working for me!

Ledodgy · 31/05/2008 00:49

It's working for me too, I didn't noticed the cool,blank ones etc thoguh at the time!

eenybeeny · 31/05/2008 01:03

I am sorry I dont want this to be one of those sickening websites where you cant tell wtf is going on. Next thing you know we'll be using text speak and giving {{{{{hugs}}}} all the time.

Am alright with a vomit emoticon though.

oh good, it's back now. yesterday it changed to a page that just said something like "Big Tech's playground. Fear all ye that enter"

LuckyStrike · 31/05/2008 11:05

do you think if we try the new smilies they will work....[sleep]

LuckyStrike · 31/05/2008 11:06

oh no, they don't

RustyBear · 31/05/2008 11:12

Now why didn't BigTech just give us the extra smileys without changing the original ones - would have saved a most of us lot of trauma, but still given the fuddy - duddys more conservative among us something to complain about.

RustyBear · 31/05/2008 11:12

It is extraordinarily difficult to cross out a hyphenated word....

Moosma · 31/05/2008 11:14

fuddy-duddy

how's that?

eenybeeny · 31/05/2008 13:14

thanks littlelapin i actually really appreciated that hug! throwing one back at you!

Iota · 03/06/2008 17:54
