Reducing The Number Of Smileys
-----------------------------------
Hi all,
I'm sad to announce that I'm going to reduce the number of smileys here on this site.

This decision is driven by a couple of important reasons:

[list][*]Large number of smileys increase memory usage on server
[*]Only few are used... this is a support forum, no need of more than 1000 smileys[/list]

I have discovered that a big number of smileys may cause slow down on page loading and extra charge to the CPU together with higher memory usage.

I suggest to all owners of big sites to reduce the number of smileys as well.
