Let's turn off smilies
Seriously. It was fun back in the day when we didn't have pictures in place of text. We could save bandwidth and bathe in nostalgia.

I don't post much though.
And I would gladly give up the group logos if the smilies will go too.

Yeah, you're right, almost 1800 post means you hardly post at all.
Just what purpose does having 12 group logos listed serve for you? I'm just curious.
