GFYcat embed - p00lz - 2013-12-04
this can probably be improved upon, but I couldnt find this anywhere and made my own MyCode for it in a quick 10 minute session this morning.
http://gfycat.com/
Could probably expand in the future to replace all .gif's links posted with;
"gfycat.com/fetch/" before a url will automatically fetch and convert it.
eg: gfycat.com/fetch/http://mygif.myhost.com/image.gif
I think I may be able to whip a plugin up to do that but my php skills are minimal.
WHY USE IT?
gfy are far smaller than .gifs (and have some other uses)

s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
g.src = 'http://assets.gfycat.com/js/gfyajax-0.517d.js';
s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
}(document, 'script'));
</script>GFYcan link example;
http://gfycat.com/SelfreliantSingleFlyinglemur
Gif Size: 4.3 MB
Gfy Size: 457.8 kB

\[gfy\]https?:\/\/?gfycat\.com\/([a-z0-9]*)\[/gfy\]Replacement:
<img class="gfyitem" data-id="$1" />and then this code will embed it;
[gfy]gfycat.com/SelfreliantSingleFlyinglemur[/gfy]Any suggestions or improvements would be welcome.
edit; fixed the Expression, as it wouldnt embed anything with the http
