I didn't want one that will upload to the forum because I don't want to overload our hosting space. Just like we don't really upload images, etc. much. But I was looking for ones that will let you link to externally hosted (like YouTube, vimeo, etc.).

Ones uploaded would also risk affecting load times more (already an issue sometimes w/gifs) and we have a lot of people that view from mobile devices.

The real reason we don't host either is because I really, really, really don't need to imagine what y'all will upload to my poor server given a chance.

I am happy with no embedded videos, linked or otherwise, especially since a lot of browsers will auto-play if asked.

Links to the source material are good enough. Animated GIFs are bad enough.

A requirement IF this ever happened would be no auto-play. I've already got the chrome extension to disable auto-play because I hate that shit.
