I like the idea of having an image thread. Often, I find myself referencing a picture or something and usually I just say "I put it on FB" but not everyone has FB so that limits the audience.

eta: and I think Suzi adds in the perfect corollary - I would not want to see our regular threads with images.

I'd rather see a dedicated image thread we can refer to, but allow and then disallow images in an existing thread. If I'm b.org-ing from work, I don't want images popping up.

Snowquester seems to have arrived in Boston, but even though a lot of snow has been coming down since this morning, it doesn't seem to be accumulating at all. It think it's just a little to warm for that. If we get any build up, I think it's going to be over night.

Hard to tell how really bad it is coming down, though, because it is windy as hell and the direction seems to keep shifting.

I like the illustrated thread. Not everyone has facebook or Flickr accounts and it would be cool to have pictures of stuff - weddings, projects, babies! where we could comment as a community.

If we do have illustrated threads, I would strongly lobby for only registered users being able to see the images.

In theory I like the idea of an image thread, but do we have any idea how that will affect site bandwidth/speed? B.org loading quickly even when the rest of the internet has slowed to a crawl has always been a big feature in my book.

If we do have illustrated threads, I would strongly lobby for only registered users being able to see the images.

Oh yes, I like this plan.

I wouldn't mind images, but I do love our clean uncluttered text look.

I'm assuming it's not like Goatse? Or any other link most people would regret clicking?

The link Calli posted is completely safe for work, but will probably make more sense if you've seen other Harlem Shake videos so you know what she's responding to. (Short version: it's a terrible song that's become a stupid dance video meme that appropriates a real dance from Actual Harlem and turns it into a thing ignorant white people do on YouTube.)

For comparison this is the real Harlem Shake [link]

(The only thing MHP says that I disagree with is the bit about seeing the real Harlem Shake on the subway. Ten years ago, yes, but the current crop of guys doing this are kind of unfortunate. I give them money but mostly because I hope they'll spend it on dance lessons.)

Always learn a lot from MHP. Sometimes she is too nice, though. Even the comments were interesting(although I don't know why anytime a woman is being serious, some guy has to call her ugly. But then, I think she's cute.)
