What do you mean? It isn't.

If you want to create your own emoticon you an use any image editing program and draw your emoticon, or you could try to rescale an existing image that you've already created.

Make sure to closely follow the guidelines, otherwise your emoticon will be rejected.

I just checked on the link Zeke posted, and it said, "This topic is now closed to further replies." Unless there's an updated new version where they're doing the same thing, right now, then the thread's closed.

Are you sure you haven't clicked the link inside that thread to the old thread? It's 100% not locked.

Oh for fcks sake... I've been going into the link instead of the overall thread...

But this helps greatly, how do I customize my own custom emoticon? Do I just have to get an image, and shrink it to a 30x30 size version,...?

That's up to you. If you start out with a 32x32 blank canvas and paint the emoticon yourself (like I did with (basic) or katuen does with emoticons like )

You can also try to crop down an image to 32x32, and you'll get something like

I mean like, what program do I use specifically, and how do I do it?

You have to create a 32x32 image, how you do it is up to you.

There is no 1 way to do so. I just opened paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/index.html), created a 32x32 canvas and started drawing with the pencil tool, that's how  was made.

If you want one that clearly looks pixellated, you can follow any tutorial on "how to create pixel art", such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZawqggyANc8
