Here's one I found that has different animal emoticons/gifs which we could use for the Terrarium, Aviary, Butterfly Garden, and so on when the time comes, or now if we want.

As for fish emoticons, I just took a quick look around and found a couple, but one is not animated unfortunately. Although it "could" be animated I'm sure if someone knows how.

Steve,
Here is a simple eye animation of the green fish emoticon (gif) that you posted. It's just a simple roll of the eye, but it might do the trick?

PS,
Morgan, feel free to add them (if you like). Got this one from
942 bytes down to 283 bytes and it's only 4 frames.

fishbowl · 02-23-2003, 09:58 AM

Here's another simple animation of the same fish. This one has a zig-zagged eye movement. It's 284 bytes & 4 frames.

PS, if you guys/gals have any input/feedback on these gifs, let me know. Morgan, if you need me to redo animation speeds, I can do that.

fishbowl · 02-23-2003, 10:05 AM

Here's one more different animation. Just a simple blink, but that might be enough ... right?

It's 237 bytes & 2 frames.

PS, Morgan if you want the fish to do an about-face (head in the opposite direction), I can do that, no prob! I will try to see if I can add some fin/tail movements to the next ones I work on.

Well the question for me is, "Just what is this supposed to represent?" Emoticons are supposed to be a quick way to get a message across in a situation where words might be construed the wrong way. So what am I trying to say wth a fish?

Digital Lungfish · 02-24-2003, 09:25 PM

Well, I suppose you could use this one for "ever get the feeling you're being watched?" in reference to spyware, the government, etc.

I think it would be neat if we got rid of all the smiles and replaced them with our own creations of little fish icons like that doing the same kind of things. It can't be too hard to make a fish wear a cowboy hat.

Seriously, I think it would be a great idea; we've obviously got the talent in this forum to do it. It would really be a unique thing to set this place apart from others too... What do you think?

patscarr · 02-25-2003, 07:55 AM

fishbowl, can you make that fish wink? That might be a keeper.

Morgan - Maybe this was already covered and I missed it, but I did a Search and came up empty. Most of the percula clown icons next to the Forum subject headings have light bulbs by their heads. What are those for?

feldon34 · 02-25-2003, 11:49 AM

You've replied at least once to those topics.

Might be cute if I put 2¢ instead.

Jim,

Digital Lungfish · 02-25-2003, 05:25 PM

LOL, nice combination of the two emoticons Morgan, I like it! Makes me want to dust off my hat and put on my boots.

Hmmm, I just remembered, we're going to have some sort of company party/BBQ at work tomorrow that's "country" themed, guess I'll need to get my duds on anyway.

Gotta love Time Warner, there's always something going on around here.

Browsing the forum was extremely slow yesterday. How goes the hunt for a new web host?

Seemed like normal speed over here. – Was the rest of the internet at normal (I hesitate to use the word fast in conjunction with the www) speed?

Still considering,

I didn't notice any difference in the last few days.

I didn't know I was hunting.
