Me! They were actually designed for AppleFritter 2.0, but were adopted here as well. The original thread about them is here here, though all the images are now long dead. A couple (such as 8-o , :lol: and the original version of xx( ) have been contributed by others since. I think iMac600 made the first two, but I'm not sure (off hand) who made the third.

Aye, these two.

8-o :lol:

Initially it was just the "eek" which was supposed to be a non-animated Mac smiley with big eyes, but I think you added the animation to it shortly before it was made part of the default smiley set. The laughing Mac smiley was my second, which I made after getting the idea from the Australian Magna Club forums and realised we had no default smiley to express humour or laughter. That one was animated from the start.
