Heck, with all these stages I thought it was part of the movie "deathrace" Stage 1 (deep voice) we are discussing smiley's. Stage two subscribe to the suggesting of the smilies. Just getting the feeling it will be yet another talked about implementation when it doesn't need to be.

If smilies are hard to find I would have thought smilies created by the community for the community would have been the right path to take. Take full advantage of the talent here instead of a 3rd party site but that's another story which I don't intend to debate on purely for the fact that we settle for a 3rd part creation unless the pro-longed reason is because the smilies about to be implemented are custom made for this site which would partially explain why it's took this long.

Regardless of that. That's my last comment in this thread my question was partially answered.

This comment just shows that you have no insight what so ever into what the staff was doing in the process of these graphics. Wait for the announcement, it's coming.
