Okay, there has been much fussing and fretting over the new rule allowing animated gifs, and I thought, maybe we could just confine them to one thread for the time being, to keep everyone satisfied? How’s that sound? (Note: please, if you’re against allowing gifs, just leave and go threadshit somewhere else. We’ve heard all the arguments. Start your own thread) [![](https://i.imgur.com/epK510W.gif) ](https://i.imgur.com/epK510W.gif) ---
