i have made a mockup post of my terrible idea. I couldn't think of anything funny for most of the buttons though, sorry :(

How would people with custom grenades fit with this idea? I don't want to lose out on my pentagram, and I doubt people with a hammer&sickle would be psyched about that either.

how about instead of a speech bubble every av gets a frame around it that makes it look like like it's in a tv?

it would break any avs that are actually 2+ imgs stacked on top of each other

which is just added value to the idea!!!

i wonder if the poster name could be moved beneath the av in a lil colored bar, like a cable news name caption graphic

might be a bit much but this is just brainstorming so

yeah, rearrange the name and regdate around the poster to make it look like a tv news headline, with the av in the middle of the frame. brilliant

It would be cool if you had av text that it would appear as the text in the headline but that would get really messed up by gangtags and smilies I guess

e: oh, and the little plat icon would be in the corner of the screen, like the logo of a news network

If you're going to go that route, you could change the wording when someone edits their post. "CORRECTION: This post has been updated . . ." or something like that

does anyone DISLIKE the speech balloon, av-says-the-post style??
it's really funny but it would make scrolling too tedious so it's not good on that basis

edit: if you can do it in a way that doesn't add more scrolling and somehow doesn't break twitter/video/image embeds then it's good again

just make the text coming out of that picture of Trump's rear end going up the helicopter steps and put it to the left so you so don't have to scroll more

If you're messing with the CSS I think you can just have it affect the regular grenade icon and not the other ones since they're separate in the CSS.

Additional idea: instead of a cable channel, stylize the forum to make it look like the Washington Post or NYT, especially if we're doing the needle/Pinnochio stuff

Just brainstorming now, in any case

I think that having a newspaper theme is the easiest way to keep it simple and legible, otherwise it will turn into a YTMND style pile of annoying gifs and midi files that will annoy everyone after a few days
