Dont have enough smilieys?

    Hehe.. this is my latest project, its rather silly, but I hate it when I go to forums that have nothing but crap smilieys, so I though I would create my own smilie directory of sorts.

    You can use the ones I have up now, and even upload your own ;)


    Have fun [​IMG]

    Heh, I like the bow down to Firefox one. I'd advise you to put a note up about admins being able to put the smilies on their forums though - because each time someone uses your smilie it's hitting your hit using your bandwidth.

    Great project Josh, I hope it does not make your fellow forum owners mad because they need more bandwidth to put up more emoticons.......??????

    They might all get together one day and ban Josh from the forum circuit as their servers burn up.....LOL Josh.

    PS: got any devils in that portfolio, that is what we are missing at DP.......

    Josh, what happens when there are billions of requests for these images to be served, how will you make out?

    Do you have any way to recover your costs, or will this bring folks to your site to look at other services that you provide such as hosting?

    Well, I doubt there would be billions of requests.. but if there is, hopefully Ill make a fortune off of Google ;)

    Yes.. thats one downside for letting people submit their own smilies :( Oh well..

    Sure Josh, if not Billions your gona have millions, many millions to serve, can you handle it, the only time they see your Google ad is to pick them up the first time.

    You should cross promote more on that page quickly, it does look much better with the template and the ads than the page you had up this morning.

    VS, I know you are reading this, are you sure this is not your younger brother, because at 13 he seems to be another Shawn.

    Why was I not born with what these guys got VS :mad: :confused: :(

    Well.. I dont know if it will become all that popular, but if it did I should be able to have enough resources from my ad-earnings from my other sites to rent a cheap dedicated or semi-dedicated server.

    Cross-promote?

    And yes, the page up this morning was just a temp thing so I could work on the actual PHP ;)

    Yes, cross promote, place banners from your other profit centers on that page.

    Just like Godaddy does when you buy a domain, they try to sell you everything under the Sun as you proceed to the shopping cart.

    WebHosting, Traffic Blazer SEO, Storage space to backup your files, you get the idea Josh.
