@endrift right? I kinda prefer the use of almostba forum. Like heres the original. And if you are interested in more you can click this sequence of this instance to "unfold" the entire sequence, or click a different group of subject matter to explore. Like incorporate image hosting, or make an imgur plug, idk. I like the idea.
