added new smilies from  and a quick reply hack from

 also added ranks and rank images, which are broken down like this:

> **Quoted:**

>  newbie, 5-9 posts\
>  pawn, 10-24 posts\
>  dark pawn, 25-39\

there are also administrator, moderator, and immortal special ranks. \[thumright\]

 edit (04.27.04) - added a [statistics](http://www.dp-players.com/forum/statistics.php) link in the forum. this shows most viewed topics, top posters, and other stuff.

Cool.\[Cool\] In the immortal words of some dude, you are da man. And this website rocks, it should really replace the inactive site at pawns.wolfpaw.com IMHO.

By the way, the statistics for smilies seems broken.
