Excel Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) If the thread is a humorous one and the gifs are somewhat relevant and easily understood I think its fine. Other than that I'm not a big fan and think they're abused. Also, placing more than like three in a single page crashes my iPad every time. EDIT: Just read the comment you linked to, didn't realize I was agreeing with Knap. My new position is that gifs are awesome. Second edit: my mistake it wasn't knapp, doesn't matter, fight the power anyhow. Edited September 30, 2013 by Bucky 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd like to think of that as a sort of badger defense system. 1 Quote Link to comment

I do most of my internet browsing from my tablet so it is an effective way to keep me out of a thread I guess. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 The animated GIF is enjoying a renaissance. Oxford Dictionaries has made “GIF” its word of the year, saying “GIF celebrated a lexical milestone in 2012, gaining traction as a verb, not just a noun.” And of course, the GIF celebrated its 25th birthday this year as well.

ShawnWatson Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The last thread that got GIF bombed deserved it, if you start a stupid topic, we will respond with equally stupid GIFs. With that said, if moderators want it to stop, then it should stop. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's one of the things that made HuskerBoard great. What's the reasoning behind it being a problem all of a sudden? Yes, they're distracting, immature, ect. But isn't that the point? 3 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I love it. It's a wonderfully creative form of communication. That said, please use some sound judgment and at least a modicum of restraint, lol. Don't just derail a thread because you don't like it - it may still be a good discussion for others. Guess that's all I would really ask. (edit) I do have another question actually, what do you people have, just a giant archive of GIFs for every occasion to pull out when you need 'em? I mean, damn. 1 Quote Link to comment
