Thumbnail and gender bullshit aside, this song explains my feelings towards VS perfectly. Farewell.

Hey, for the first time, I just stumbled upon the "congrats gold!" thread that was made for me eight whole months ago. So now I'm thanking everybody individually to make up for the deafening silence. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed both posted with parts of a different sniper documentary, but I think it works.

Hey Pyrex... Thanks for your support and your playlist plug on the Bioshock video! I was content lurking on here for quite a while, but it certainly helps having my first attempts at contributing reinforced like that. Glad you enjoyed!

Lightning from the hand. I like. Thanks for dropping by. The "blog" is much undernourished. Sorry about that. My blog right now is my Sifting.

Just dropped by to check out your queue, and looked around your blog. Saw your old avatar, and I have to admit I was always under the impression that it was a hand with lightning coming out of the palm, not a tornado (the "thumb"), heh!

yes YES! proper categorization! That is exactly what I am all about! Anyway, looking forward to what you find!

In reply to your comment:
Thanks! And believe me, I love horror, I'm just crap at recalling what I've seen come sifting time Also I seem to have been on a bit of a collective craze lately; why not file vids under their respective .. folders, is the way I see it, heh.

Now.. I wonder if there have ever been any Swedish horror movies.. *plugs brain into YouTube*

Yeah it took me a while to backup all 70ish. But now that I've caught up, I just post two three videos at a time, and do backups of them at the same time I post em. Its routine now

Theres many websites that let you download the actual video file, like http://www.videodl.org/ .. But I just use a python script to fetch em. No difference, just makes me feel cooler

Then theres those people who like disabling embeds, like the tiger squirt video. Don't really know whats up with that. Like you said, it must be some kinda silly arrogance. Its stupid if you ask me

In reply to your comment:
Oh right, yeah that was probably Silvercord, sorry. A lot of users seem to be providing "third party" services to VS lately, hehe.

Anywho, keeping backups is probably a good idea, but do you really have copies of your 70-ish posts? If so, yowza(!). I just talked to Farhad the other day about what kind of stuff was removed by Viacom, and some of it is just unbelievable. He mentioned an Uzbek music video he posted; gone done disappeared. WHY?!

In reply to your comment:
Well, I think that was Silvercord, but I can't be too sure, who posted in SiftTalk. He was offering some sort of free for all youtube account where you could upload yourself. Anyhow, I tend to keep backups of all my videos in case Viacom goes insane. You know that pizza baseball video got taken down? It just drives me nuts that I didn't make a backup of it! gah

In reply to your comment:
Ah excellent! Didn't you post about that in Sift Talk a while ago? Anyway, a great service to keep in mind. In this case I was lucky enough to find an exact duplicate of the YouTube video on GVid which didn't have the embed disabled.

Fun note: the GVid version was published September 2006, while the YouTube post was upped November 2006, and it's THAT post which is now getting attention around the web. Just feels like the YouTube poster was being a little arrogant in disabling the embed on it. Whatever, in this case, I suppose :-P

In reply to your comment:
if you need to upload the videos on youtube that are disabled embeds, just give me a holler. I'll download the flv and reupload it into my own youtube account and enable embed with little or no quality loss

The YouTube post had disable embed code, but the Google Video version did not. However, the YouTube version had the above + more.

Additional info here.
