They are actually quite common among other BBs. vbulletin gives you the option to customise the smilie in the advanced settings.

Yes, many of them are indeed fairly common, but I've also been to a fair number of boards that just had a handful of stock smilies without any of the fancy ones.

Well well well!! It seems SOME of you naughty little 'mooters never received my warning to clean up your act in time for Festival because you had no more space in your inbox! Lets just see what Santa can do about that...

Maybe you'll be more prepared for next year, hmmm?


On the fifth day of Festival, Entmoot gave to me:

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFTYYYYY PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMS!!!!
PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM

Four good cheers,


Three thumbs up,


Two goblin hoards strikethroughs,


And a party under a tree.

What's this now? Santa has noticed that not very many of you have been posting in threads as quickly as you used to.

At first Santa thought you were all just aging very rapidly, and thus slowing down due to severe arthritis brought on by massive RSI's because you're all a bunch of little spammers.....

But then Santa realized that some naughty administrator got in the way of your hectic posting schedule by enforcing a time limit... so Santa thought he'd do something to lessen that, and get you posting quicker! It's like Santa is giving you all the Entmoot version of a 4G network!

Post away my little sheepling darlings, post away!!!





On the sixth day of Festival, Entmoot gave to me:

Sixty-second posting,
90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFTYYYYY PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMS!!!!
PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM

Four good cheers,


Three thumbs up,


Two goblin hoards strikethroughs,

About 60 seconds, maybe?

Holly Fudge, Santa's got a massive hangover.

You know how it is... one minute you're eating a harmless looking cookie that one of those Keebler elves passed you and the next thing you know you're on a sugar high for the next five hours and come to your senses doing windsprints on a stair machine while the Hobbits chant, "CLIMB! CLIMB! CLIMB! CLIMB!".... meanwhile in the corner half the Administrative team is being held upside down in a handstand and having a Mountain Doom chugging contest while the Moderator team plays "Whack-a-Nazgul," with elven-forged weapons.....


Suffice to say things got a little crazy and Santa isn't up for rhyming.

Here, take it:


On the seventh day of Festival, Entmoot gave to me:

Seven glancers glancing,


Sixty-second posting,
90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFTYYYYY PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMS!!!!
PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM

Four good cheers,


Three thumbs up,


Two goblin hoards strikethroughs,


And a party under a tree.

I know what you mean.

Who is this... SANTA? What are these.... GIFTS?....


.....More on that at nine. Coming up, news on how everything you've ever eaten will give you cancer. Going now to live reporter Rian for more news on that.

Rian, is it true that everything you eat will probably give you a horrible disease and kill you?
