Why are there no smilies on this board?

Seriously even though I have the smilies option enabled I've noticed there are none here! How it comes?

Well, I started off with smilies disabled on this board. For a little while, I was thinking about recoloring the default set, or coding up a custom set, but I wound up never doing that.
Honestly, I haven't missed smilies, but if enough people would like them, and we could maybe get a nice set that doesn't clash too badly with the board color scheme, I am perfectly willing to install them.

I do not care either way.
Besides, a channer like me has more than enough pictures from
those boards to make up :D
Oh, wait, I mean....

I like smilies, they sometimes save me the necessity of actually typing. Anything that saves me words works.

Agreed. And the standard yellow colour shouldn't clash with the existing colour scheme. It should actually show up rather well.

I think "standing out quite well" is very close to "clashing" - yellow compared with violet and lavender accents? - but actually, it shouldn't be terribly hard to just change the color.
However, to play devil's advocate, Tyralak has managed to
remind me of an old hypothesis of mine: The wink smiley is the internet equivalent of the traditional Southern US "
bless his/her heart." Discuss!

Looks mighty fine to me, I really see no good reason for smilies not to be present on this board...

I disagree, but only because they have different intentions.
The "Bless his/her heart" is supposed to be an indicator that they are a good person but...
The wink is to show the subject of your insult that you are joking.
