Awesome job Omni! Glad to see change is finally happening and you want to refresh HF and keep it at the top!
Cannot wait to see what more is to come or change!

Like what if I make a thread, close it let it die with my IP resolving signature then don't enable my new sig in all my posts - then I can link anyone that thread and grab their IP.

It's always been possible to create a PHP script that displays a valid image in gif/png format while also grabbing an IP, and there'd be absolutely no way to tell. Anyone could have edited a post from years ago and embedded said "image" and link off to the post/thread to grab an IP. This really doesn't change much. 🤝

i have seen the stats logger, and always knew you could stick an ip logger in, but think when someone gets called out for doing it, the post/thread will more than likly be closed.
Good old ip grabber signatures are incoming. XD

These have always been around.
I can make www.website.com/images/signatures/sdfkjasdfkj.png and really have it grap the IP before serving the png.

Hell, I can just go into the access logs and see it, too.

It's always been like that.

It's really not a big deal.

HF just doesn't have the amount of activity it used to (at least from my observations), looks like he's trying to improve that with all of these changes.

Good to hear, seems like HF is going to be more user friendly
Damn. HF is becoming a place of total free expression of oneself day by day.

5. No image rotation or scripts images (ip grabber) for your avatar or signature.

Yess this is the best thing so far
3. No religious, nationality, or political expression in your profile.

Very glad to see this thank you for the change it sure adds more freedom.

What does image rotation mean? does it mean avatar gifs?

Have your signature/avatar auto change to another image using cronjobs/php every so often
now i can show off even more
Inb4 someone makes an IPgrabbing signature promoting their Spotify account shop, along with expressing their views on Islam.

Omg images scripts are allowed now, years ago I made a website which provided Meme signatures that showed of fake info like the users location and their Ip and such saying they had been doxed this is now allowed?

It also means you can have dynamic images, such as ones that display view counters, stats/info grabbed and dynamic inserted and kept updated in real time. This is awesome I used to do this stuff all the time but Omni said my old project wasn't allowed guess I better look at my old project files and start it back up :)
