The old ones were great, the new ones are ugly as hell. Especially with these terrible white borders, it looks like a two minute job in MSPaint from some kid who just discovered the Internet.

(This isn't a rhetorical question, I'd really like to know what prompted the change if anybody knows.)

You should really read this. It has what you may be looking for hidden somewhere deep within.

This is an assumption but, seems reasonable. Yesterday the forums were down to undergo an upgrade to the vBulletin (as announced here). The smilies they were using were replaced by the default ones and they have not yet re installed the smilies we all know.

So you're saying it's the "better" smilies that Mod8 promised? But they're hideous!

Sounds like a reasonable explanation alright.
