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

Well, Yahoo! Video Finally Got Me

As some of you know, I made a Yahoo! Video account some time ago.  I had put up quite a few videos of The Land Before Time.  Even using it for my temporary Clip of the Week Videos for my site before making changes that made them be streamed from MediaFire. (Which, as I've already discussed, I'm dropping for streaming.)

Wanting to use it again, I checked out my profile, only to find every last one of the videos I put on there gone.  Yep, every last one of them are gone now.  Even my two music videos that I worked long and hard on are gone as well.

Trailers, Songs, Clips... All of it gone!

I spent a long time to put all of that up, and now it's all gone. :(

To be honest, I was expecting this.  The clips were pushing it, I will admit.

Despite all this, I've still got other places with those.  Divshare, 4Shared, etc.

I may be down, but I'm far from out. :)

So yeah, no more Yahoo! Video.  Onto the next client. :)

Maybe if you used some commentary it would be more ok.  I heard, no idea if it is true or not, if you use commentary that is more ok to use video stuff for that.  I'm not sure of the specifics.
