Does your forum use GIPHY in posts?

Do you allow your members to add GIF images to their posts? I recently enabled GIPHY support on my forum, and I wish I would've done it sooner.

I also have giphy enabled on my forum. I can honestly say it enables users to more fun on their forum posts and topics. It’s a good way to boast engagement and overall community bonding.

Wasn't GIPHY going to be charging for access, or has started already.

Yes but no one does. I've used a few to try to get them going but nothing.

Yep I allow members to add GIF images on Thee Zone. I've had a few members use them too in the past, it really does make a conversation more interesting and engaging!

They charge for commerical(api usage).

Some customers were sent a notice about it, which was brought up on the Xenforo forum.

Giphy to start charging....a lot!

Apparently some customers have been sent this. Not received one myself yet.

There hasn’t been any new news regarding this in ages though.

You cannot expect immediate results unless you already have an established community. GIF's have helped me increase the engagement with my members.

I was hoping to create a code for Jcink that uses GIPHY, but I guess that's not plausible now.
