Timothy (ID: 00000013e64eaac3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2019 So Happy Its Back!! Great that its beta so we can get the smooth wrinkles out. Easy to fine others in different chats to rate theirs, and if one likes too they can turn it off for other channels (but that defeats the purpose). Hopefully one day the gifs can come back like the once were before.
