[QUOTE=OfficerLamarr;52943168]Mate that thread was about a important politician being reelected after a citizenship scandal not just some fight in a all Bar.[/QUOTE] I know, but title could had been better phrased. And while it was a terrible example, I was stating an example.

No for words

I mean if people want to see more news threads about Australia or other places just post them

Can we have a new "Trump Ballpit Pen" section for all trump related news?

[QUOTE=The golden;52943445]Whether or not a piece of news is interesting or relevant is entirely subjective. And I would also like to point out that for every article about a small event outside the US there has been dozens of articles about small events within the US. As long as it's not ultra-pointless news like someones cat running away then I really don't see the issue. I don't live in Australia but I do like reading about the recent events there because I just like to be informed. I have very good friends there and I want to make sure they're safe and that I know enough to communicate to them about their local issues.[/QUOTE] I've always thought of it as a glimpse into life in other countries. It's fascinating seeing how different and yet how similar we all are. [editline]3rd December 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Killuah;52943517]Can we have a new "Trump Ballpit Pen" section for all trump related news?[/QUOTE] I think a lot of people would end up avoiding it just because of how inevitably toxic the whole section would become, and, thanks to Trump's involvement with politics, that would preclude posting things to polidicks that would be absolutely relevant otherwise. Unless of course there were an exception made for political things involving Trump, rather than "Trump Tweets in Support of Baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells".

[QUOTE=Killuah;52943517]Can we have a new "Trump Ballpit Pen" section for all trump related news?[/QUOTE] Did polidicks suddenly get rolled back into SH? Cause this is the same sort of argument that resulted in polidicks to begin with.

Any and all talk about Trump is political talk, for Polidicks, unless he swallows a grenade for martyrdom or something, then it belongs in LMAO Pics or "Videos And Flash Movies and That Kind Of Crap".

[QUOTE=Alice3173;52943661]Did polidicks suddenly get rolled back into SH? Cause this is the same sort of argument that resulted in polidicks to begin with.[/QUOTE] Which didn't even work anyways since p. much every day if you open SH you'll see rule violators that should be in polidicks left and right.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;52943661]Did polidicks suddenly get rolled back into SH? Cause this is the same sort of argument that resulted in polidicks to begin with.[/QUOTE] it was a joke

[QUOTE=Killuah;52944064]it was a joke[/QUOTE] aren't jokes meant to be funny

[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;52944078]aren't jokes meant to be funny[/QUOTE] I've had this kind of conversation too often now tbh. so yes, yes they are and the joke was bad, you are totally right.

Okay, here's a theoretical question then: Since you can use set an image in your title, and the image [I]can[/I] be external - if I self-host an image on my website, use the link to that image in a title, and then somewhere down the line decide to change that image to something else (just retaining the file-name so the link is still the same) - would that fine? :thinking:

Don't know if that was changed or not though.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52944364]Fairly sure anything obnoxiously huge would be veto'd.[/QUOTE] Oh, I wouldn't do that, I hate page-stretcher avatars. But being able to change out the title-avatar once in a while through FTP-convenience rather than with my wallet would be nice :vs:

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52944375]Okay I've got some confirmation ish from Hezzy. TL;DR. [B]BIG MAYBE for using images in titles.[/B] Don't use imgur for obvious reasons. [B]If you get turned down[/B] we can work something out or get a refund.[/QUOTE] Well, I've seen some people use Imgur :v But the way I was thinking was just hosting an image on my own site, call the image through HTML (ie. "<img src="www.mydoucheywebsite.com/fp_avatar.png>") and if I feel like changing it I could just replace "fp_avatar.png" through FTP on my host. Theoretically that should change the image here since it just calls for that file.

It has to be a static image host. Most people have been using imgur without issues but apparently one certain group of people (who will remain nameless) thought it would be funny to mass report the images that form part of a certain style of avatar. Those have been rehosted by a trusted individual.

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52944386]No, simply because you can change your picture to anything and then all of a sudden we have goatse. It has to be a static image host.[/QUOTE] Fair enough! The rules just said external links were fine so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Cheers!

iirc this was brought up before a few weeks ago, somebody said that they stopped allowing non-permanent links. The only way to change it now is pay more or very nicely ask Hezzy and hope he takes mercy upon you edit: wow literally as i was writing

May hezzy have mercy on your souls

Where's the FP Christmas card thread?
