A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense



I occasionally see people complain about oversized images and wonder why they aren’t phone posting like a normal person

OLED is awesome for reading in bed, ngl

OLED mode + bluelight filter and that poo poo casts 0 light, but somehow remains readable

I have always kind of wondered if it actually does save battery on an actual OLED screen though

In OLED mode the spoiler text looks less like a redacted document and more that the app is trying to seal away an unholy abomination unfit for the gaze of a mortal man, which makes sense because it's my posts

It doesn’t, though I think they gave/may give one of the devs IK buttons so they can see what needs to be done.

the apps are my by 2 different, unaffiliated, dev groups, none of whom have mod powers I understand

I think I saw astral saying something about wanting to work with them down the road to bring the app into being better supported/less of a strain on the forums(because it literally loads forum pages and scrapes the text)

Nah, that was just a gag propagated through Goon Telephone as far as I recall.

Lowtax claimed he did it during one of his return trips to the forum to get funnyman cred. Jeffrey confirmed that the story was bullshit after he bought the place.

It wasn't Lowtax who claimed to have banned the WebTV guy; it was radium.

About 91% of visitors are on Windows. Mac users make up 5% and Linux is 2%. The other 2% are permabanned IRC trolls browsing the forums with a text-based browser written in Ruby on OpenBSD. Oh yeah, we have one guy using WebTV but I banned him because WTF.
