What's your policy on lurid flashing neon gigantic smiley faces that take up half a page?
I'm not the most angelic poster but watch daft things like this don't begin to take over.

Was asking Buck's policy, not you. Just passing him a warning to make sure these don't flood the board. If you read your thread, plenty of people complained about it slowing down thier access.
I do use the smilies but only the standard ones. If you are lacking something in your life and feel like you need to make up for it with dumb smilies, fine.

The standard ones slow down the post just as much as the non-standered ones.
And about the thread I was just wandering if it there are these smilyes here.

Actually, animated ones take up a lot of space (not really, but it still slows) It would be best if there not used, no offense to you.

Tip: for very slow connections, some older browsers allow you to turn off graphics. These programs usually allow you to load graphics manually if you decide you do want to see them.
Netscape allows download of all previous revisions.
EDIT: goes without saying I am only talking about the intended smilies, I am against any other embedded graphics (and this often leads to spam; can you say Talon?)
