GIFV support

There has been a request to add support for Imgur's new GIFV thing to MyGaming.

This seems to be do-able with custom BB Code tags, but before implementing it I thought I'd find out how ya'll would want it to work.

So one option is using a tag like [imgur-gifv] with the ID of the GIFV from Imgur. I.e.:

Code:
[imgur-gifv]zvATqgs[/imgur-gifv]

This would be translated to an iFrame in the actual post. I can't let you just paste the whole URL in, because that would let people create iFrames with arbitrary sources, which could lead to very bad things.

The alternative is to have a tag like [/PLAIN][/CODE]

The trade-off is that this won't be as widely supported in browsers as the iFrame is, I think.

What is your preference?

Is this within reference to their GIFS?
Cause I know everyone is converting to either .webm or .MP4 due to the size differences.
