You mean that, despite all the trolling, I’m only ignored by three people?! Even with a wanking Dixon smiley?
I’m saying three because Zombra can’t commit to anything, it’s not in his nature. He’ll say he’s putting you on ignore for dramatic effect and then keep quietly and rating everything you do. He might even reply to this right here, poor guy.
I’m getting closer to the 50 ‘stop posting’ milestone:
Keep it up, it didn’t work the first 43 times, maybe I’ll start doing what you tell me to do at 44? Ironically, if people ignored everything I say and do, I’d just stop. How long before they figure it out now that it’s been spelled out for them I wonder?

The only thing better than early 2000s is late 90s.
Quality
The animated reactions are the key reason behind this site's performance woes, so the last thing we need is for even more of them to be animated.
I wonder if there's any merit to merging them into a sprite sheet, like the original ratings were:

I think you’re being disingenuous/dishonest here. I question your integrity.
I’ve unblocked you because I know you can give constructive feedback (you have), that is point out the shortcomings if applicable.
I therefore challenge you to point out the flaws of this and how it’s worse than the current “fishy” button.
I've reworked the fish some:

I mean, actual flaws, like palette, perspective and so on. By all means, rip it apart. I’ll make any changes you bring up so that it meets your quality standards, whatever they might be. I’ve asked professional artists and they all tell me it’s fine so it’ll be interesting to find out.

Some useful reference if you're gonna keep working with the Codex Troll, look up some images of Dungeon Keeper 1's control-panel/user interface.
More pronounced horns for stronger silhouette, and simpler, beadier-eyes to aid in the clarity of his expressions. Good color balance, too.
Above anything, I prefer the animation on this one. I respect your dedication to flexing by making your works as animated and livid as possible, but the more downplayed movement and subtle detail fits it's function as a forum button a bit better.I've reworked the fish some:

Copium is way better than Zlakzka's. (And yes, I still think the blue is better than green.)
Also, the first Zlalksa Fishy
is better than the supercharged overproduced tail-flipping one. Really though current Fishy is fine.

Such a challenge. You pick the only button that isn't egregious among yours. You know what you're doing here.Ismaul

I don't really care about the fishy button, I've only commented on your trolls. Anyways, yours is competent enough, more technical and realistic than the original. But is it better as a button? for its function? Not really. Here are some reasons:
1. The animation. If you look at existing buttons, there is animation when it serves a function. That laughing dude is animated because it conveys meaning about the button better. Let's apply that to the fishy button. What information does the animation on your fish convey? Nothing. It is purely cosmetic, as if buttons were made to be admired. But in this case, this slight movement of the button is more of a distraction than a help, an attention trap. But buttons are not what we want the user to focus their attention on, it's the text. Better without it, for its function.
2. The realism. Fishy is supposed to be fishy. It is supposed to convey the meaning "something's not right" or "smells bad". Yours is just a fish, too realistic. It is "too right". The less realistic version is better suited to expressing a nonliteral meaning. It looks fishy itself.

Current fishy has better contrast with the background colours.

Zizka should apply for work at Blizzard. I hear they like the garish look.
