One of the many great things on this forum is the wealth of smilies we have to choose from. Yet, with all this plenty, I, of course, want more.

So a few questions.

1) Where do the smilies come from? Are most of them from a standard PHP set?

2) Are some of them custom designed? It seems the obvious answer is yes. If so, who does the work?

3) If we wanted to request/suggest/supply additional smilies, how would we do that?

4) Also, I suppose it should be asked: Do some of us think there are too many smilies already?
