It's been a poorly kept secret - but it's finally happened. It's 12:01 AM and I want to be the first to tell you that VideoSift is now VideoGrater. Update your bookmarks!
We know that there have been many suggestions about what to do about personal queues... "streamlining" the Sift, concerns about Siftquisitions and - whatever - but I'm very happy to announce - we've fixed it.
By changing the metaphor of "Sifting" to "grating" we're changing the whole way we think about Videos on the Grater! Have a look at the below:

That's it! that's all you need to understand about VideoGrater. It's going to be a much more fulfilling experience for graterers with a clear idea about how it all works. We got so sick of people saying "what the hell is a Sifter" and "I thought it was an old paint can with a crank".
Some other details to get out of the way. Of course, any reference to "Sift" should be replaced with "grater":
Sift Talk is now Grater Talk
Siftquistions are now Graterquisitions
Siftbot is now Graterbot:

And of course the community members who make this such a fun place are now called "Graterers". (it's a little unwieldy, but it will grow on you)
As an interim measure - until we all get used to the naming conventions - we'll be pre-processing your comments to ensure that the correct terminology is used.
So, grate on graterers! I'm looking forward to a bright, bright future for VideoGrater.

Please change Beggar's Canyon to Grater's Canyon!
Un, No, I believe Beggers Canyon should stay, Now it just doesn't make sense. The key word in the name was it's description - hence the name in the first place. "Beg, Begging, Begger, Begger's Canyon, Grater's Canyon just doesn't make sense - at all....
I'd go back to bed if I could...
I hope I make my point clear.
{edit} - ^shuac - stop telepathically stealing my material
or i'm calling for a gratequisition.
srsly. that was fuckin' freaky, dude.
now pardon me while i verify the contents of my sugar and salt containers.
ah well. it's the community here that makes the site what it is, not the name. no big deal to me.
And will charter memberships be offered gratis as a celebration?
Can I say "gratergrate"? nope. Damn, this feels like sensoring. What if I wanna say a sentence that legitimately uses the word "grater"?

If Begger's Canyon is now Greater's Canyon, How do we invoke? Do we have to invoke "Great" instead of "Beg"?

Hey... cheese fegstival s J O K E was changed to CHEESE FESTIVAL - I Think We Are Being Punk'ed!!!!!
We should graterquisition dag for this metaphorical travesty.
Before, we gratered the good videos from the bad; now it's all about shredding the cheese that is web video.
Therefore, I recommend we immediately make the following structural changes to the Videos:
1) All videos published on our partner sites should be automatically submitted by graterbot.
2) The front page should be sorted by newest published videos.
3) The ability to upvote should be removed; the purpose is to grate, not grater.
4) All comments must be derogatory towards either the video's content, or the content's creator. Or the site.
s) The Top 1s should be changed to the "Top 1s Most Grating Videos", with #1 being the most downvoted video.
6) star points should be renamed Cheese points.
7) Cheese points will be awarded for every ten derogatory comments a s makes.
8) The "Top Graters" lists should be changed to "The Most Grating Graters" lists (both of all time, and of the week).
This will help us to retool for our new mission; finding the most grating videos on teh intarwebs.
hold on a minute..
you're telling me it's Not a paint can with a hand-crank?
smell my cheese, you mother!

Videograterbanned me, you are no longer relevant.
Man I hope you are grated by a pack of rabid dingos!
No cheese head avatars? 'Thought folks would use those again.
Grate it?
I could have understood Greating it... that would have made it... well, great, but grating it? Poor grater... it'll never be the same again. Before, the worst it could do to you is give you a little tickle if you got your finger in the grater area.
But now! It'll take your fingers off man.
And on another note... did you already have this domain, or did you actually register it just for today? Boy... I thought you were busy.
* To remove ambiguity, this should not be read in a serious tone.

I was relevant? Goddamn it, why don't people tell me these things before I lose them!!?

I will always be a sifter
You're one day too early...
Not for the other side of the world.
I, for one, plan on celebrating by grating down crappy videos into tiny nubs and getting bloody in the process. Isn't that what downvoting is all about? Ant?
Yes.
Google translate:
The grate method is generally a term used cuts are indicated, involving all ministries or parts of a company to surrender something.
As a general grate alleged use is typically Dutch and a thin slice of cheese can be cut, the grate method and word coined to indicate that each component must return a small piece. These are usually for political decisions to cut.
The grate method has advantages and disadvantages. It is possible that everything could just go in a slightly lesser extent. But it is also possible that a part is not functioning properly, what the cuts are no longer absorbed by other parts may be.
A grate method to cut down on expenses is a result of an internal split or a class contradictions cripple Ministers. The political directors responsible for choosing a "grate" when they have no political choice.
