About the youtube thread...

[Van Hellseek]

Isn't 200 pages a little much? It's impossible to post a link without knowing wether or not it's been posted dozens of times already. Unless we are expected to read 200 pages and watch god knows how many videos.

Time for a new solution to the "watch this, it's lolz!" issue perhaps?

A sub-forum is the obvious solution, although I don't see that happening here any time soon. But I think something needs to be changed.

I agree, seek.

I keep getting resubscribed to it when threads get merged into it, that I've posted in...

 

[HaX]

This video is quite a good one. Certainly put a smile on my face

 

[el_dazza]

The 'individual' club threads were removed because they were too difficult to wade through. I totally agree with you.

you can paste a you tube link into the search field, if its been posted already it will return a match.

*nods* Just like you'd search for anything else Orrrr.... we could just get rid of it altogether?

It will only return a match if it's the same upload. If you link to the same video, but from another uploader, the link will be different.

I see where you are coming from. Its a bit of a mess. Not much that can be done apart from searching for it. Either way it's better than all the threads that appear without it.

We should also be allowed the random pictures thread again, it was the best.

 

[Stinky]

i agree. i've stopped reading it now. its just to big

Orrrr.... we could just get rid of it altogether?

..and start a new one \o/

 

[gumbald]

Can YouTube thread entries be forced to have a description for searching, rather than just:

<video>

LOLOL that's funny, have a look.

<video>

Video of an elephant riding a unicycle!

(LOLOL)

Not sure how that would be controlled though

If you want a thread to be standardised it has to be from the beginning with specific unambiguous instructions.

"Everyone" managed to grasp that thread a while back where you post what the person above is doing, your doing and the person next will do, or similar, and it was structured thus:

1.
2.
3.

Yes. At least technically speaking. vBulletin is highly adaptable. It just comes down to wether the admins can be bothered. But to answer your question, yes it is possible.

Yeah, definitely agree with this. As long as all the kill joys don't start posting 'over the top' images and get it closed again.

why not create a youtube sub forum, and we can all go crazy in that.

Why not just browse Youtube instead? There's a omments section as well if you want to comment on it...
