:colbert: was one of the suggestions in the GBS thread, but everyone thought that it was lovely looking, so it didn't get bought there. It took some time before someone posted :crossarms:, but by that point FYAD had bought :colbert: already

And holy poo poo was :iamafag: (as "awesome") everywhere for a while. After it was replaced with :awesome:, someone bought back :iamafag:, but with the code :fuckyou:. I'm not sure if :fuckyou: was a message from the buyer to the admins or from the admins to the buyer. :fuckyou: was deleted (or maybe renamed to "iamafag") at some point.

Not too smiley related (I guess avatars don't count) but I figure this is the best place to ask; why have people suddenly been popping up with pink and cyan recreations of their own avatars? IE:




Am I missing out on something happening or is this like a subforum's subculture thing?

They're from this thread:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3562596

When echinopsis posted that thread, he had a video codec avatar, . At some point horse mans started buying people posting in that thread those lower resolution cga game graphics avatars, then others started to convert their existing avatars to cga color palette.

Does anyone know when and why goons started using The Year of our Lord and TYOOL so much? It just kind of started in the last couple months.

I've seen it used on the forums since at least 2012, so it's probably older than that.

I like it but now make an animated version where each portrait rapidly switches between styles. :twisted:

What would be a good song to go with that?

I'm asking for no reason. For a friend.

What's the story with these smilies?
:swanlake:

This is from the Let's play Xcom Long war thread. One of the soldiers is an assault class with bright pink hair and beard and who kills a lot of aliens using a shotgun. The soldier's codename is Swan lake, because his running into a crowd of enemies and killing them all is like a murder ballet or something.

Its very existence serves to ferret out the spergs among spergs, and as such it will never disappear.
