Hey, XKCD fans! My name is Wyboth, and I was just added as a moderator today. You've probably noticed that we now have XKCD panels in our background. That's my addition. I added a few panels to the background already, but I thought I'd let you guys decide what the rest should be. Comment with a panel or comic that you want added, and in a week I'll create a Google poll to let you guys vote for your favourites.
Also, I wanted to implement something similar to the substitutions chrome extension, but as part of the subreddit's CSS. However, I don't think it's possible to replace HTML strings using only CSS. There might be another way, but I can't think of any. Most of you guys are programmers, though, so let me know if there is a way to do this!

Is the main moderator still a racist holocaust denier?
EDIT: Checked his submission history. Yep, he still is.

Is there a possibility you could change the suggested subs?

You could make the alt-text of the alien logo of this sub "A subreddit of romance,sarcasm,math and language".

I like the background panels. I'll see if I can think of any additional ones.
In the meantime, could you change the "other subreddits you might like" list? Or get rid of it entirely. I'd appreciate either.

I want to give you everything, just to see what you'd do with it.

For word replacement, you could just make a general one using links/title text with the syntax `[car](#r "cat")`
then use something like
[href="#r"] {color: inherit; cursor:default;} [href="#r"]:after {visibility:visible; content: attr("title")} [href="#r"]:not(:hover), [href="#r"]:hover:after {font-size:0px; visibility:hidden}
to do some swapping.

Finally. Congratulations, and Good Luck!
Ron Pauls blimp, Stallman in 1337 and Cory Doctorow's balloon are things that I'd love to see. I can't see the background at the moment (Ipod) so I might have given you things you can't implement.
