re: why are my emoticons slowly disappearing? my avatar just bit the dust too...

It may be what TD gets for sticking with imageshack for so long and not hosting the emoticons on TD. Because of this, those emoticons may be lost forever unless someone else has access to them and can post them here. I've had significant difficulty finding them.

Imageshack has gone way downhill and now they blow donkey balls. Imgur is king now.
