Shouldn't you be more worried about legal issues of turning a copyrighted broadcast, possibly not even uploaded by the content owner, into a gif?
My blog is officially part of one of the content owners' networks. Plus there's the whole "fair use doctrine" that generally allows small snippets for commentary purposes.

Hey Nam! Really appreciate the comment. We were just being silly and hacking away at it adding random things that made us lol hahaha. You're right though. Moving forward minimalist is what we hope to accomplish. Thanks for the feedback ^_^
I like the design, all the way down to Copy Past Z. I think grandparent post is out of touch with your target demographic :D
I cannot think of a target demographic who would use the site in its current incarnation but would not if it were a cleaner, simpler, "less /b/-inspired" design. I can however think of a demographic who wouldn't use the site unless it were cleaner.
edit: This sounds like A/B testing 101 to me.

#170The presentation of the page ("copy pasta z", the fullscreen gif background, the popup in the middle, the banner in the top left) all strike me as being dodgy/malicious and from a site that I'd immediately want to close and never visit again. I'm not sure why you see the need to be so 'internet' with it all when you could do a fully functional equivalent that would be easier on your servers too. Just make it clean an…
I'd second that. Make it clean, easy for the eye and it's far more usable. But great tool nonetheless. Props to you!
