Upvote for visibility? Someone must have saved them after the quarantine come on.

    was image flair disabled with the quarantine or something?
    Edit: yep definitely... latest version before the quarantine: https://archive.is/rrgo8
    Found via: https://archive.is/offset=1050/https://old.reddit.com/r/ChapoTrapHouse/*

    The flair consists of basically two parts: large image files and CSS that crops those larger images.
    You can find it via "View Page Info"... will add direct links just a sec...

    I can cut them up into separate image files if you prefer.

    Edit: I'm not actually sure how to get at the CSS that defines those image boundaries.
    Is possible that gets injected inline by reddit on the back end.
    Not that cutting up those files is much work or anything.

      Image flairs rely on CSS tweaks; and custom CSS are disabled upon quarantine.

        there was also the redesign making custom CSS less visible; I completely forget how the sub was styled because I mostly saw it on the redesign later on

          I've never used that cursed redesign, personally; find it atrocious (less items and more space on each page, much more javascript dependency, etc.).

            yeah, the spacing on so many websites now is just trash. but forcing old style was kinda annoying in and of itself and lots of stuff became redesign only features. once the modtools and RES started working on the redesign I started using it. The little bits of javascript they used weren't super intrusive

              What bothered me was that on the old design, you can at least read whole threads most of the time without having any javascript enabled at all (which is great for privacy). Not so on the new design - even most of the post titles themselves won't load on a sub page, and on a thread you'll only basically see the 2 or 3 top comments.

            understandable. I use it cause the normal style is an eyesore. can't remember what the chapo style used to look like.

      I can probably cut them up. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

        Was "raise them from the dead" a specific flair picture? I didn't see anything like that in there...

          No no, I'm raising the entire thing from the dead and sticking them in /r/greenandpleasant where they can continue their good work.. The ones that aren't British enough will be left out for the time being I think but I will try and stick most of them in.

                put braindump

                I just remembered that I too liked to say "going to put [verb]" some once upon a time.
                Probably heard it on a British comedy television show.
                There is something just... about it... I don't know how to explain. It is such an absurdist sentence construction.

                It makes me think of "taking" my actions/verbs and "putting" them somewhere, like I am carrying them around, like in a pot or something.
                Like the way that in old text terminal computer games one would "in-put" actions via typing them.

                But really it's more absurd, or relatable, because being plural/dissociating I sometimes end up "in the commentator box", like become the voice in another one's head.
                And then I do quite literally "put" actions in words/thoughts that I would appreciate if they put interpretingly outward.

                It's... odd... like I don't know if all other plurals experience it in the same way; but then sense of self-not-self in memory seems bound up with "front", such that I have memories of myself as if an other being just the voice in the back of our head.
                Is really trippy sometimes, just... idk... some switches get so boring and commonplace, but when I talk to myself, somehow from behind (which I don't even remember how that is done, there is no memory of it created) before taking over control, it is just fun, and disorienting, but... yeah...

                Oh wait, I have an idea of how to do it. hmm hmm. God I'm tired. No wonder I'm awake.
                Why is it that being tired helps me front? Who came up with this shit? I need to talk to the manager of this thing. Hellooo...

                I don't even know why I'm still typing out the thought's I'm having. meh post. imma take a nap. (they say no, fucking life by committee)

                edit: what does a pot of "raise them from the dead" even look like? I'm thinking a soup. like lentil or pea soup. with little gravestone croutons. and cartoon skeletons with top hats.
                edit: this is why i don't even have to do drugs lol

                  Lmao I see! I get it now.

                  Sidetracking -- do you know the exact date that you pulled this spritesheet from? I need to also find the css stylesheet for the subreddit from that date too, or as close to it as possible. With the date that you found this on I should be able to get close.

                    So turns out archive.today itself is doing something where they merge CSS into HTML so you can't get that back from there.

                    Datetime was on that archive page top right: 6 Aug 2019 20:23:20 UTC
                    Same day they were quarantined according to SubredditDrama.

                    WayBackMachine 5 Aug: https://web.archive.org/web/20190805163343/https://old.reddit.com/r/ChapoTrapHouse/
                    CSS file from that page: https://pastebin.com/tbz3hUkz

                    That is just for the old.reddit, and their new.reddit did not have any fancy flair.
                    Maybe be careful about using that exact same spritesheet or too much copied CSS though, because reddit admins might see it as ban evasion.

                      PERFECT much more than I needed. I appreciate it a lot, it's not going to be wasted.
