Thrik Posted July 31, 2009 I don't know if my computer is just wrecked, but is it me or have the thumbs emoticons not been working for like a month? I see the 'tup', 'tmeh', and 'tdown', but there's no image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted July 31, 2009 Not just your computer; they are still missing. Luckily the emergency Doug Protocol has been activated, and a designated Tobacco Droid has been dispatched to fix the problem. It will arrive shortly. Please remain in the seated position while you wait. For your pleasure and convenience, here is some music to help pass the time XW2F8ZPOqVw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted July 31, 2009 A LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I designed those thumb icons and gave them their now legendary names. Even now, on random other forums and in ichat, I want to pepper what I say with tups and tmehs and such. They are so useful! A BONUS LITTLE KNOWN FACT FROM THE ANNALS OF THUMB LORE: I also curated most of the other emoticons here. I am to blame for all the Commander Keen sprites, including the weirdly unexpected sadly that turns into an evil tomato. The first big-headed smiley was Nurse Ratched which is currently broken, so Doug, while you're at it, can you fix it too? Here is a copy from the old Herzog forums which are still online for some reason: Like most things, the Nurse Ratched smiley was inspired by Bronstring Marek Bronstring. Mr T. followed, and then wtf, and then a slew of the weird ones no one ever uses. And then everyone joined in with smileysmithing and it was a jolly ole time. Ah, those were the days. But then I got booted off the site in some sort of staff purity purge, got my admin powers revoked, and was so traumatized as to never touch smileys again. Then the site, not being able to live without me, imploded in a flurry of irrelevance and ennui, but was since reborn with the podcast. That right there is history, kids. Learn it.
