Can you make it only happen to the new threads created after the shift? I want to watch how quickly the old threads cycle out of use with a nice visual marker.
Lowtax stood up from his chair and the flurry of movement in the stagnant air knocks several clear wrappers to the ground. The sharp necessary inhale from this sudden exertion stings his throat and he feels his lungs seem to stretch and push against his ribs. He squints in the darkness and his attention is drawn to the buzzing of flies at the kitchen sink. Christ, they never let up do they? Gotta get him, though.
Walking to his room he tosses layers of piles clothes to get to the moccasins he knows are beneath. Gotta do this. Has to be done. The hard part was getting started anyway he tells himself. He sits down on his bed, draws the moccasins up with his feet and pulls them back around his ankle. His big toe pokes through. Goddamn its always something.

Opening the front door, Lowtax braces himself against the cold. The screen door hangs loosely from one hinge in front of him. He'll fix it after the weekend sometime when he finds his tools. The screws he's sure can scavenge from other hinges that have more than they need. The floorboards of the porch groan and slightly give way underfoot but there's nothing to be done about that. Certainly not now, maybe spring or summer.
Going along the side of the house he makes for the overgrown path to the barn. Uncomfortable or not, this break in routine was already exhilarating and the cold didn't bother him anymore. The wind seemed to howl around the corner of the barn in protest for having to yield to the obstacle. After a few attempts the stuck innards of the door handle broke free enough to turn and Lowtax entered, keeping the door cracked wide enough to take in a view of the inside. It was just like he remembered it. Almost completely bare, open space inside. Old paint peeling off the beams and rafters. A lot of potential in here, though.
In the corner he spotted the large freezer chest and he smiled. It was an ironic use, but with the insulation of it it was brilliant. Shuffling excitedly toward the freezer, Lowtax could hardly contain his excitement. He lifted the unlatched top of the freezer.
A man inside squirmed turning over in his thick cover of blankets, agitated at the light. "What time is it?"
Lowtax smiled wide. "I need you to code a new forums feature."

It's a great idea. Lowtax will immediately do it. Also Lowtax keeps programmers in the freezer. Presumably to preserve their freshness. They go bad so quickly.

BYOB's font should be changed to arial. Or courier new. Otherwise I think open sans is just fine.

Or do it, then change it back after a few hours, then wait a couple of days, change it again. Repeat after the discussion dies down. Continue for days/weeks.






Then when everybody has forgotten, replace it with Wingdings for a couple of hours, then finally back to Open Sans and leave it.

Need to have a font randomizer. Everytime a page is loaded, it picks a random font.

Like, i get your reasons for wanting to make this website more like modern but changing the font doesn't really do that and people seem to think it makes the site uglier. I'm not complaining I just think the backlash is kinda interesting and funny.
