A brilliant/terrible idea

If you hang out on the imageboards at all, there's a cool greasemonkey script available that allows you to play .ogg audio files catenated to an image. After the novelty wore off, I started thinking.

You can't upload images to /prog/, but there IS a possible way to upload .ogg, archives, or even image files here. ASCII and Unicode characters are stored as integers, right? One could create a script that converts a file into a string of characters, which can then be posted into /prog/. A greasemonkey script could convert any encoded file (surrounded with a new EXTENDED BBCODE file tag, so that those with the script do not have to see a million characters) into an audio file, archive, image, whatever.

The only problem is that of a maximum post length. Does anyone happen to know the maximum characters allowed in a /prog/ post? I've seen some very long ones, so I assume its greater than the standard imageboard post. If it is necessary, one could modify the script to spread file data over several posts, allowing for potentially unlimited file sizes.

I have a better idea. [rem] tag should translate into <!-- --> instead of being completely removed. Then every Prague citizen who is an actual programmer could write a simple script that takes him to the Shadow Side of the Prague, with comments visible and everything else hidden. And then we could have nice, interesting, programming related discussion there, on the Shadow Side. Which would look just like another HMA/Haxus spam for the clueless bystanders.
