The way I remember it, it was a "goon" idea to incorporate forum macro code to automatically post images. Lowtax said it was a lame idea because the jokes would get old real fast. So he did it because so many people asked for it, then stopped it after a week, after goons complained that the funny image joeks got old.

I thought timeline was one of the original ones, I guess I was wrong?
