Oh, I like this...

I thought you clowns might jump all over that feature. I can't get anyone on Brewer Fanatic to use it but I effectively communicate on Twins Daily using only GIFs some days.

For the time being, I'm just planning to pop in every morning and create a thread.

Long term?

No offense Brock but I think this is a job for a cubs fan. I nominate @Duke Silver

No offense taken. I'm only willing to take on the job because no one else wants to deal with the burden of 162.

The gif chooser is dead to me bc it doesn't have the "Starlin Phew" gif.  Or that creepy old mouse clapping gif OMC used to post (I think it was OMC?)

We've self-governed game threads for years....just need a sign up thread then you go in order.  Poster keeps posting them until the Cubs lose, then the next person goes.  You just need one person who can nudge the next person if they forget to post.  If there's no post 2 hours before the game anyone can jump in and create one as a guest starter.

The main reason I'm pushing this is because there are several of us who have our own styles and creativity when posting game threads (this is gam thread. i am tree) that live on in NSBB lore.  Nothing that would upset the advertisers or alienate new members.  Also the whole genesis of the gif themed game threads was based on the day's game thread starter.

I'm 100% on board with this, it's very similar to how game threads are managed on Twins Daily. I'll start a thread now and pin it.

Yep, he loves this gif.  Maybe this will be like OMC’s bat signal.

I cant tell you how many times I was searching for a gif on mobile and had difficulty pulling the direct link of the gif so that I could post it.  Gifhy in particular was terrible at that....even if you tried to copy a direct link, it was to the page the gif was hosted on, not the direct gif image.  This feels like a whole new world opening up for me.

It’s actually something like “March of the Wooden Soldiers”, but yours is better.  I’d always assumed it was a product of an OMC fever dream.
