Hi All,

Smiley icons seem to be all the rage on many other forums on the net, but
we
don't have any here on Lugnet.  I suspect the reason has to do with the
"cheese" factor as these icons can appear cheesy and annoying at times
(especially the animated ones).

But, what if we customize things a bit and use minifig heads for the
smileys.

For example, any occurrence of :-) would be replaced with something like:

Check out http://www.lowlug.nl for many minifig smilies
However, I hope this won't mess up the NNTP service, as I still refuse to
convert to web-based posting

(...) Thanks Jan-Albert, for mentioning Lowlug :-D However, originally these smilies come from (URL) :-) I thought I'd mention it. I think implementing smilies would be a very nice feature, and these minifigsmilies are just very cool! Saskia (...) (20 years ago, 17-Oct-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
