Perhaps a new animated GIF icon on the forum...?
« on: December 08, 2015, 03:38:49 am »
Since we see a lot of fizz-pop-bang stories on here, perhaps we could find a new  :-DMM animated GIF to go in posts - with a little face or device that starts out 'normal', glows red, then explodes into a cloud of smoke...?

Sorta getting there... (thanks!)
Smoke phase needs to ne more obvious - perhaps lingering and fading to nothing.

...Especially the "hostile" ones. They get used too frequently when words carefully choosen would communicate better. .
I reckon the hostile GIFs sometimes 'soften' the impact when replying to a completely (IMO) ridiculous post or proposition....!
Words would be somewhat harsher - like those to Batteriser?! :=\

  Personally I HATE animated GIFs!  They're distracting and add nothing to the conversation.  I use Ad-Blocker to kill them every time that I encounter them.
