View source for Emotes

For the low, low price of five dollars, a user can activate a word filter, called an '''emote''', that will make a small [[GIF]] appear on [[/b/]]. It works by placing your choice of text inside two colons (''':cockbean:''', ''':eng101:''') and then having that text filtered to the GIF of the user's choosing. Popular examples include '''Professor Smiley''', '''Ice Burn''', and '''Pwned'''. Emotes are inspired by/borrowed from the [[SomethingAwful]] forums.

The most well known of these emotes was ''':zdx4875:''' which activated Professor Smiley. It was made public on [[/b/]] in the Winter of 2005, and for about 24 hours before the mods de-activated it, [[/b/]] was filled with the Professor.
