Who will lead the anti-queue-reduction-time revolution this time?

I endorse shorter queue!

It should certainly make it easier to go through all the unsifted videos. I occasionally see good stuff in unsifted go through without any attention, or I see stuff in beggar's canyon that I think is awesome but never saw in unsifted (and I really do troll through there most of the time). With less videos in unsifted hopefully that means things will be more likely to be noticed.

I would have preferred raising the vote escape threshold to 12 before shortening queue time, but maybe this will work. I hope you're flexible about changing it back to three days if this doesn't work out, however.

I still fear 2 days is too short to get attention for new sifts.

Now the unsifted ones move to the PQ instead of the discard pile but the PQ-ed videos are generally only visited by members via the member profiles.
Also few people - I think - look at the recently pq-ed list:
http://www.videosift.com/search?q=&t=v&c=&u=&s%5B%5D=r&o=new&vmin=&vmax=&l=&n=&submit=Search
Maybe this list can be added as a tab, next to unsifted, to increase exposure for pq-ed videos.

I think now an even greater part of the videos will now be posted with a beg and/or promote and/or have been pq-ed once/twice..
Some data about this would be interesting..

At bit off topic (and I mentioned it before but no reaction..) but related to increasing attention to videos: I'd like to be able to see non-starred (or just bronze starred) members' new submissions by ticking that option at the "unsifted video listing order", just like "display new submitter videos only".
