Okay, something that I've been wondering for a while...who is that in the "Don't Go There!" button for closed threads? It's too small/pixelated to make out at all.

I always thought it looked like Dante from the new Devil May Cry game, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

A couple new smilies to identify.

I get the reference with at least one of them, but I'm looking for the stories about why they were purchased.

This is an image that forums user Peanut and the Gang embedded in some of his posts, being a generally cheerful guy. Nobody knows who bought it though!

So why the checkbox next to some of our avatars?

It's a grenade, now, and it's for people who bought platinum.

And ya, admins can upload the av to the servers and put it in your title using img tags.

How many different platinum icons are there? I'm assuming they're granted for posting in specific sub-forums.

Lowtax held some sort of contest thread when they introduced them. The ones I know of are: diamond, red pill, and little video game sprite(this one is actually a medal I think).

So byob is getting back on track with buying hundreds of dollars of bizarre injoke and vanity emotes that no one else will ever use, like they did back in the old days. Seriously, part one of this thread the answer to almost any emote question was "old byob injoke" or "vanity emote for a byob poster no one has ever heard of"

Yes. I think BYOB has bought more smilies than any subforum, except maybe games?
