Custom Smilies?

OK, n00b question, I guess...
I have noticed some members posting "custom" smilies (In other words, smilies that are not already on the FAQ page) and some of them are pretty cool and are usually variations of those on the FAQ Page... So, my question... Are these .gif/.jpg files you guys are posting or are they actual smilies like all the rest, created by keystroke combinations? Just thought I would ask just in case others had the same question and were afraid to ask... I have NO IDEA why people would be afraid to ask questions though...

KTHX

I dunno... but that would be cool... some more music-based ones, maybe? A head-banging one for us metalheads... and maybe a hip-hop one...

If you use Firefox there is a 'Smiley Xtra' extension that you can download with tons of smilies.

EDIT: Of course some won't work with a domain ban.
