Permanent deprecation of Flash

Due to all the recent security issues with Adobe Shockwave Flash, I have decided to permanently disable it. Henceforth we will only support HTML5. I have changed the BBCode for YouTube embedding to support HTML5. I am still working on LiveLeak, and may or may not re-enable that, depending how easy it is.
Please check here to see what codecs your browser support. There are tutorials on how to get all of these working properly.

I have also added a poll here, regarding LiveLeak, to see if people actually want it back and use it.

I heard a bit about that stuff since it was giving me issues on my laptop this week. Then again, my laptop runs Ubuntu and they stopped getting Flash updates ages ago. My desktop should be far more capable and it'll be nice when we don't have to rely on plugins for all sorts of things.

Using Flash is like leaving your home doors open and sending invites to criminals
Also, it's been officially deprecated on Linux, and not supported on mobile devices. So there's 3 reasons for permanently ditching it.

Yeah, but there still so many old animations and stuff that use Flash.
