Bash.org is text. I can C&P sections of a conversation to share. Omegrep.com is images, so I can't.

Valid and interesting enough content, but I think the execution is a little lacking, and technically uninteresting.

We scraped the chats from logs.omegle.com/* and OCR'd them. Because the OCR was far from perfect we chose to display the original images rather than the text. It's a very valid point though, text is better than images for many reasons.

Was there anything else about the execution that you found lacking and would recommend improving?
