This was way before the php/img version Ihoss did. My original version was a Flash footer (the good ol' time of Flash footers ... yeah, we really had them) that displayed one line at a time, each for a few seconds, and a thread where members could submit new entries (with all the typos you see there, I just copy pasted them).
