I have mixed feelings about this.

Once we start hosting images (beyond profile pics) we are in new territory as a content platform. Probably not somewhere I want to go.

(Therefore it would definitely be a subscriber only feature to cut down on abuse / moderation effort anyway)

edit : re: sanitised bitmap - I have never investigated availability of AI solutions for this.


I personally would hate to see this happen. There are lots of other places where people can display their photography and we don't need it here.

Hear hear! Before you know it we'd be bombarded with image meemees. There's no need for this place to turn into Facebook, 4chan or tumblr.

I concur, also w/@Kewpie. TU from me to each of you.

It's a slippery slope. Don't go there. You already backed off from animated gifs for avatars; keep it simple and focused, that's what you do best.

Completely agreed.

Users who had one before the axe fell are allowed to keep them; new users not.

It would be unfair to penalize those who had one when they were still allowed. Rule changes apply only going forward. No ex post facto law ...

I think it's a bad idea and I think you should stop trying to remake the forums to suit yourself.

They won't stop until it's done. This and thumbs.

Because, you know, control.
