Site news: Images can no longer be posted to the front page or to comments. Sorry about that, but a whiny minority of fascist mind control freaks complained that they don't want to look at lacerated anuses. Jeesh, grow a thicker skin people.*

* Note for the hard of thinking: I'm being sarcastic.
you missed one image. it's lurking there, huge and menacingly bunnyish :)

Is it possible to allow images in comments, but not on the front page? I think that would give those who need/want to a chance to do some filtering.


It is a shame that images are not allowed at all because, used intelligently, they are great.

And yeah, if you are going to ban images, you have to practice as you preach and get rid of that fucking fraky bunny.

The bunny isn't an image -- its a logo.

I absolutely 100% agree with you, and I was happy to make this place a 247, images all the time, party zone. But I discussed it with taz and neither of us can really keep an eye on this place all the time. Most people, let's face facts, will be reading this from work and if I have to chose between either scaring them away or disallowing images then the images have to go. And it just wouldn't make much sense to ban them from posts and not from comments (I did consider that though). Sorry.

Having said that I do want images back but it'll take time until I can come up with a good solution that keeps everyone happy.

Sounds like a perfect solution to me.

some of the less mature (pre-pubescent) denizens of #mefi felt compelled to test the veracity of the language in your post on metatalk which stated "Come on over and post about anything you damn well like."
this quite frankly annoyed the living fuck out of me, strange as that may seem. as i noted elsewhere, ruining nice things is MY job. these kids have NO RESPECT, i tell ya. NO RESPECT.

Huh. And here I had assumed that it was quonsar who caused it.

If it weren't for that damn bunny I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

If it weren't for this damn conversation, there would be no bunny!

IHNJH, IJLS I read that as "usen intelligently". What is this, Anglo-Saxon times?

'tis true - it's evil, I tells ya, evil! The way it's soulless eyes stare at me from the screen freaks me out.
