I vote that we make Swish GIF King. He always has the most amazing GIFs! So funny! =D

I think many would agree that Swish already is the GIF King, but here in the P99 forums nothing is official until some idiot makes a poll about it. Ergo ...

Yes, it's Friday afternoon and I'm bored at work, but still I think this poll's better than half the others that have been done on this forum.

Seriously though it would be high treason for Swish to be declared King of anything, this thread is going to get him taken out by the SIS.

You won't catch me on Kriven too much these days, I'm too busy with my rogue (and now a SK twink in the making) :)

You may be a smug bastard but I'm down with you being king if that's your first decree.

The one GIF of the obese cheetah chasing the antelope was probably the best gif i have ever seen. I genuinely lol'd at it.

Swish can be gif king because of that gif alone.

It certainly can, but for sake of raising a ruckus:

Also non-moving images can sometimes be funnier, and take less time to load on bad wifi.

Yay! Swish, King of the GIF's! =D I didn't get back on the forums yesterday so I missed this until now!

Also, you're not just the GIF king either so whoever said that is an asshole. But you DO have the best GIF's!

I wrote a half decent cleric solo guide once upon a time too (see wiki), but perhaps I'll just stick to internet art :)

This man does his homework.


The best part is telling people that say "GIF" they've been wrong for 27 years.

It's mind bottling the gifs Swish has come up with. Has he ever used the same one more than once?

According to the people who have been saying it the right way for the past 27 years or the guy who said it the wrong way when he made it 27 years ago?

Hmm...well:

1) Sow = An adult female pig. Rhymes with "cow".

2) Sow = To plant a seed. Rhymes with "blow".

3) Sow = An acronym for a spell used in the game EverQuest. Rhymes with "____".

Looks like we're gonna have to phone up some former Verant employees and ask.

Well, let's dive deeper into this mystery (that's been answered 1,000 times over a period of 3 decades, no less)


The creators of the format pronounced GIF as "Jif" with a soft "G" /ˈdʒɪf/ as in "gin". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[5]

An alternative pronunciation with a hard "G" (/ˈɡɪf/ as in "graphics") is in widespread usage.[6] The American Heritage Dictionary[7] cites both, acknowledging "jif" as the primary pronunciation, while the Cambridge Dictionary of American English[8] offers only the "gif" pronunciation. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary[9] cites both pronunciations, but places "gif" in the default position ("\ˈgif, ˈjif\").

The disagreement over the pronunciation has led to heated Internet debate. On the occasion of receiving a lifetime achievement award at the 2013 Webby Award ceremony, Wilhite rejected the alternative pronunciation,[


Where's a bitch-slap "JIF" when you need one... :cool:
