So I had some time to kill today and I really like the “Weirdmotes” smiles set that you can get for Adium.  Now we’ve got them on Shambot!  If you’re using the Visual editor there is a smiles button that you can click.  Other wise it will reinterpret most basic (and complicated) emoticons.  These also work in comments and there are little emoticons to the right of the comment box that you can click on to add them to your comment.

Next on my list is to add avatar support into the comments!  (no anime, plz :c )
