First, can anybody create a "whatever" smilie in the style of :loser: :fuckyou: where he makes a "W" with his fingers? I found the one with the signs* but I'd like to see one like I described.
* :whatever:
Also, here's an idea for the search feature that would probably require some development, but might be fun. Sometimes I feel like I could use a "find other smilies like this one" link next to a smilie I like. For example, a link from angrynana could bring up more bird-flipping smilies or all the dancing produce. One idea would be if you could see all the keywords that point to a smilie, and then click on that keyword to see more. Or even easier, if we could just see the keywords, we could search for the others using the search feature. Can we see the keywords already? Cuz if so, this paragraph was pointless. I shall, however, continue...
A lot of smilies by the same artist look similar. For example, the first two smilies in this post look like they were done by the same person. In the same vein as the previous paragraph, it would be cool if we could pull up the creator of a smilie, and then click on "show all smilies by this artist" or something. I'd love to get a look at everything we have by darkmoon. A few questions spring to mind. Is there a field specifically for the artist of the smilie, or is it just entered as a keyword? If it's the latter, my first suggestion would still work. But then the second question is, is the artist (if known) entered as a keyword for every smilie?
ETA: Now that I seem them juxtaposed, those first two do not look like they were done by the same artist... hrmph. That throws a wrench in my works.
