Anything constructive? Like suggestions on what could replace them (i.e. is (royalty)free, and wouldn't offend a varied userbase?)

The search function only works for people that deserve it.

The BigSniff cartoon is a novel idea but I personally fail to see any humour in them. Right-click, 'block images from bigsniff.com'

The comics are funny in a way different to the humour forum. If you dont like 'em ad block.

That's not the kind of thing you should admit in public.

I agree. This BifSniff stuff is just not funny/clever.

Something I'll never understand -

Why do people think something that's not funny when it's "live action" might be funny when drawn? This happens all the time with animated things (eg. Shrek etc.) I really believe this is a big fault in humans (like our sheep mentality, etc.)

I second the motion to get boards users to submit their own comics and choose the best to be displayed on the front page.

AFAIK you don't make money off BifSniff cartoons (I could be wrong)

I've chuckled at a couple of 'em. Definitely not something I come to boards for though

The user-submitted idea sounds great.

I drew this back in the good old school days about a posh guy who was actually poor as piss. Still makes me chuckle...
