Canadians didn't burn the White House, British regulars who'd never set foot in Canada did.

Fix queued. Some of you guys have avs that predate the switch over to BBcode and I forgot to fix it.

If you don't have a gangtag yet, please be patient. I'm going through a page at a time because you guys are really chatty and I don't know how the Radium code house of cards will react to identical title change requests. I do a page, wait for the queue to get flushed, do the next page skipping everyone who already has one, etc.

It's your own faults for talking so much.

It's time for an Admin Story!

quote:

Someone PM'd me day one and said I should blank them all and that they are promoting the confederate flag
I sent back "It's burning???"
they asked if it would be okay to have a nazi flag with cool flames around it
I sent "Clearly the flames burning the flag to ash are not hot rod speed flames meant to emphasis the coolness. "
they stopped PMing me

Would it be too later for a Northerner NG Redleg to get an Uncle Billy gangtang to replace my spineless broken spine donation tag?

I can give you the tag but I can't do anything about the (second) donation tag. I think there's a setting in options to turn it off, though.

This has been a long time coming but can someone have an admin update https://fi.somethingawful.com/images/gangtags/mcnallytag.gif so the first frame is the burning flag, idiots with animation turned off always get confused and angry

They're gonna ask me to provide them with the .gif, but frankly I like the idea of idiots getting confused and angry so I'm torn.

I still have the original, so tuning it up is a snap. This one starts at the "Barbecue Bros" frame:

So a couple things:

Even if they swap out the gifs it probably won't make much difference because according to astral, "forum images are set to cache forever with the immutable flag, which means any changes would not be reflected for most people." I'd have to go in and change the tag on every single one of you fucks and that's a lot of work for me and the admins because they gotta approve 'em all.

Secondly, the new gif is poorly optimized. It's 1.42MB compared to the 683K the original is (and astral still says it's a bandwidth hog). If we are going to replace the tag with a modified one it'll have to be a lot smaller. And even then I don't feel like doing that much work lol.

Never have I been happier to utter the phrase "Ain't there no more" than for the statue of the Traitor General and his walking dog food that used to darken Tivoli Place (formerly Lee Circle and currently Harmony Circle).

When they take down equestrian statues of Confederates, they should leave the horses.

The horse didn't do anything wrong.

If there is a group of people for whom I strongly feel, "gently caress you and the horse you rode in on" applies to, its confederate traitors.
