Stealing your smilies

[Gurdur]

This one first: ____ http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/sleepinwhite3dy.gif

Anyone object ? To whom do I give attribution credit for this one ?

[livius drusus]

I'm afraid you've hit on a deviantArt smiley right out of the blocks. That is darkmoon3636 (http://darkmoon3636.deviantart.com/)'s work. She seems an easygoing type and has granted several dA folks permission for use on their forums, but she also asks to check out the forum first to ensure it's okay with her.

Perhaps you could contact her over at dA?

[Gurdur]

Bugger. Well, I might bother, but it's no big deal. Thanks.

[Gurdur]

Okaaaaaay... onto the next ones.

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/triumph.gif -- this one definitely; attributation should be made to livius drusus, correct ?

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/joecool.gif -- this one too, ditto, right ?

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/sadbanana.gif -- but aren't the banana ones somewhere on their own site ?

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/death01.gif -- and how about this one ?

And this guy, for godfry and Gurdur: :garden:
Oooooooooooooo --- never saw this before, sorry. Many thanks. Can I steal it ?

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/snoopydance.gif -- and of course this one. I swear, trawling the FF is a hell of a lot easier than trawling the whole net, and far more productive.

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/giggle.gif -- and why not ?

[livius drusus]

Those all get the thumbs up. Caesar and the gardener are indeed mine; the authors of Joe Cool, snoopy dance and sadnana are lost in the web mists (although of course the first two are really the work of Charles Schulz); the wee reaper is the Fool's, and giggle is from the long-retired hprince329 of dA.

(It sometimes strikes me with the incongruity of a 15 ton ACME anvil that I actually know all this.)

[Gurdur]

Thanks !

http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/gallery/files/3/0/1/ven.gif --- and this one --- Crumb's ?

[Crumb]

Hmm, this whole smilie champion thing seems to be confusing folks. I haven't made any smilies folks. :wink: I better try my hand at it though. I feel kinda lame having to set everyone straight. :)

[Gurdur]

Well, thanks for finding it anyway, Crumb.

[livius drusus]

Erm... He didn't find it either. That's another one of Fool's smilies and yes, he is stealable.

[Crumb]

:roflmao:

[Gurdur]

Yet more smilies I would like to steal, if I may.

:fflove: -- this one I actually don't want to steal as it is, I want to alter it (i.e. basically I just want to steal the petting smiley part, not the FF logo).
To whom is the credit owed ?

:pinko: --- because I'm almost one.

:choccake: -- why not ?

:cuddle: -- just because.

Thanks for your consideration.

[beyelzu]

gurdur,

you can only have the pinko if you keep my name as the hovertext, because no one will know what the fuck it means.


which I think would be funny.


alright, I suppose it really isnt a condition as much as a humble request and shit.

[Gurdur]

Addition: if you have the time, I would be very grateful for a smiley where a small girl hits a big bloke (or just an ordinary smiley) over the head, thwack thwack (but no blood or gore or disintergration).

Something like the bowtied smiley in :cheerup: hitting some other smiley over the head.

Many thanks indeed if you can do this.

[Gurdur]

gurdur,
you can only have the pinko if you keep my name as the hovertext, because no one will know what the fuck it means.
the name is :_pinko_: , yes ?
I think most would grasp what a pinko is ? :yup:

a humble request and shit.
Stomach burn, are you having ? :D

Never mind, if the FF admin do in fact give permission, and if the person who made it is OK with it, I will call it :beyelz or something like that in the smiley menu that I will be implementing.

I have no idea why you like a pinko smiley being named after you, since you're not one, but possibly it is safer for me not to know.

[beyelzu]

actually the hovertext says my name, grady


which was what I was referring too, my brother calls me a communist these days because I am far more liberal than he is on social issues.


My brother is a neocon more or less.

and, gurdur, I have always respected you, you just irritate the shit out of me at times.

[viscousmemories]

you can only have the pinko if you keep my name as the hovertext, because no one will know what the fuck it means.
I don't remember exactly, but I don't think there is a hovertext to smilies in phpbb.

[Gurdur]

so I will name it :_grady then, or something.
In the end, it depends on what the FF admin say about it.

[beyelzu]

so I wil name it :_grady then, or something.
thank you, sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar or some such shit.


:tmgrin:

[livius drusus]

Yet more smilies I would like to steal, if I may.

Sure. :)

:fflove: -- this one I actually don't want to steal as it is, I want to alter it (i.e. basically I just want to steal the petting smiley part, not the FF logo).
To whom is the credit owed ?

Yes it would be a little odd if you wanted to keep the FF site logo bit. ;) The petting smiley is my work.

:pinko: --- because I'm almost one.

That is a comino's, as are all that particularly style of grey smiley.

Now bey, don't you think it's a little unfair to make Gurd name that smiley something so random? Hovertext is one thing, but people are going to have to remember its name.

I think you should let it keep its name in its new home. You retain the honor and first naming, and the knowledge that your brother is in some ways a cretin.

:choccake: -- why not ?

godfry's a fan. This one is a creditless one.

:cuddle: -- just because.

Another hprince classic.

I'll be glad to work on the head bopping one. I think I can wing it.

[beyelzu]

alright, liv, you are right.

but damn it, why doesnt hh have hovertext?

hey, gurdu, why dont you name the pinko smiley gurdur?

[Gurdur]

Many thanks indeed, and I would be especially grateful for the small-girl-bopping-bigger_smiley-over-head, since it is in A Good Cause

there we go, livius hath spoken. The smiley will have to retain its own name, :_pinko_:.

[Gurdur]

but damn it, why doesnt hh have hovertext?
Probably because its single admin, who also does all the techie stuff, already has enough headaches, literally.

[Gurdur]

:pinko: --- because I'm almost one.
That is a comino's, as are all that particularly style of grey smiley.
Sorry,
does that mean I can steal it (with accreditation) or not ?

hprince is now clear (stealable with attribution) but not yet comino.

[livius drusus]

Yes you can steal with accreditation. It's a bit of grey area, frankly, but that's what I did, so you can too. :beaugest:

[Gurdur]

Nothing like following a precedent.

[Gurdur]

Next one I wuld like to steal if I may: http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/images/smilies/gestapo.gif

[livius drusus]

Ja Wohl! (Unkown artist)

[Gurdur]

Thanks !

[Gurdur]

Wouldn't mind stealing this one as well, if I may ?

[livius drusus]

The huggle is darkmoon's, I'm afraid, Gurdur.

[Gurdur]

ah well. Thanks anyway.
