So what about the twisted/evil emoticons??
I don't know where these emoticons came from. I took them from the emoticon directory of the digitaldevildb.com bbs before it fell onto my shoulders. The original bbs was vbulletin, which was licensed for like 100$ a year. I don't know if these were part of the vbulletin package or not. But anyway, I gotta admit, I can't hardly bear to use any other emoticons. The others (on like every bbs on the internet) are all so bad, and 90% of the time don't even convey the emotion I feel they're supposed to (that is the emoticon seems to be conveying intentions I don't want to convey)
Not to mention this is the only set that reasonably fits next to text without making the line height taller than the text.
I wish I knew where they came from. Anyway, I'm thinking I will probably have to make evil/twisted myself. I'd like to know if these are basically free licensing wise or not. Good emoticons are so hard to come by, I wouldn't mind setting up an open emoticon project some day to really standardize them. I also really like the way these emoticons are all different colours, so I don't feel racist by using them.
