The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Why Such A Restraint on Video Hosting Sites?

I was checking out a ton of video hosting sites outside the normal recommendations, and I found one glaring problem on many that I must seriously question.

Why do SO many video hosting sites have a size limit of 100 MB?  Such a limit doesn't work for me. -_-

This helps limit using the service to upload commercial material (i.e. movies, tv episodes, etc.).  If you compress a 1 hour movie into 100mb, it will look like absolute crap.  Another reason is just size and bandwidth limitations of the smaller time video hosting websites.
