Four-Mations
Four Mations was a regular animation strand broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in the 1990s.[1] The series featured short animated films, tributes, and sometimes a documentary on animation.[2] The series was notable for co-financing some films and broadcasting animated films from around the world. The series was first broadcast in 1990 and finished in 1998.[3]
In 2008 a website made for people to upload, view and share animated films and games 4mations, borrowing the 4 Mation title.

gollark: It's kind of unintuitive.
gollark: `a` is just one value, so the second return is discarded, so it works sensibly.
gollark: `gsub` actually returns multiple values. Because Lua, since it's the last thing passed to that function, `table.insert` is passed the string it returns and a number from it. `table.insert` has an overload where it takes `(table, position, value)` or something instead of `(table, value)`.
gollark: The alternative to having it be a GPS server thing would be per-dimension "dimservers" or something providing the dimension name (and possibly server name and metadata), which could work too I guess.]
gollark: The main problem I envision is that I haven't worked out a standard for dimension naming, so it just uses the one it receives the most fixes containing, which can be basically anything the GPS servers want, and that it won't function reliably without a large amount of dimension-enabled GPS servers.
