Good call. There is even an API available at http://gfycat.com/api

could have support for embedded strawpoll and soundcloud while we're at it

Think of a 1000 replies thread with 20 of those. It'd be defeat the purpose of ESR's layout.

Already ppl post shit tons of gifs and pics. They go with a) ESR hosting b) ESR bandwith. Gfycat embedding would save a lot of resources to everyone. Just make it "click-to-play" and boom - happiness.
