It's faster than having to generate a picture and then upload it or attach it for every board position you want in the game. I also think it makes it cleaner looking than having a lot of the go viewers as it's nice to be able to have multiple diagrams in one post.

It also mimics the functionality on Sensei's Library for diagrams, which keeps some very nice consistency between the sites.

I don't remember if this has been requested before, but here's one: I would like it if the 'go' button when posting would create a whole blank board diagram instead of just empty tags. If someone needs an entirely empty tag, it's easier to erase most of the diagram than it is to add the whole diagram from scratch or find a similar one to copy.

Can we have red stones in diagrams?
They could be used for several go variations like 3-player go or treasure go! One could of course use :ex: or similar as substitute, but implementing red stones shouldn't be difficult and the letter "R" has no meaning in diagrams yet! :)

P.S.: "G" = green stones and you can have 4-player go :D
