"If the secrets are posted in image form in the comments instead of being posted in the post... how does that make the post load slower? It's the same number of images being loaded."
I meant that it would take longer to load for the first scenario I posted, where the images would be posted twice (one in the overall post and again in the threads). I just mentioned this way of doing things just to cover all bases.
In the second scenario I posted (the one you're advocating), it would take longer to scroll from one secret image to the next. I know some people don't care that much about the comments, they just want to see the overall secret post and leave (Crazy, but true!). Those people would have to scroll through the secret image and the accompanying thread comments before getting to the next secret, and that might even be on the next page. Well, that is if I'm understanding you right. You may be a little drunk, but I'm totally crazy sleep deprived, so if I don't make sense, sorry!
