a couple of other boards I post at have a "geek" smiley they use (a smiley with square glasses). I hadn't really noticed the absence of it here at NN...but the more I think about it, the more I think a "geek" smiley would be appropriate here (in a self-deprecating sense, not in a putting-down-others sense. Face it, we're ALL geeks here! [Laugh] ).

So how about it, admins? Can we get a geek smiley?

Pretty please? [Big Grin]

If any smilie should be added it should be this one:

 -

I mean come on, that can be used all the time and as if that's not the sexiest smilie you've ever seen. It's just begging you to add it to the Graemlins list!

How about we get rid of the roll eyes smiley? [Roll Eyes] It's usually only used in flaming people anyways.

I asked about that a year ago or so. Mandard seemed to agree that its uses were pretty dubious, but unfortunately that smiley is automatically in the UBB system.

Unless you've got another appropriate smiley to replace it in the required :rolleyes; slot, it's here to stay.

I'm sure there must be others out there that fit in with the Nightly/UBB "look"

You need one that holds up a "I'm a Geek" sign, either with those words or maybe just the word "Geek" with an arrow pointed at the smiley. Sorry Pixie, but that one just looks like it's bug-eyed or something.

I tried looking for an example but couldn't find one.
