videos on getDare
 

i think it would be a good idea to have a video section aswell as a picture section on getdare, i think this would be good because people would be able to prove dares and also people will be able to see how you speak :)

By Joe, I think she's on to som'tin' captain. Chip-chip-cheerio, and all that sort of rubbish!

But naw, really dawg, she's on ta somethin' good right cheer, ya dig?

However, the astute observants will find this rather clever of her, and applaud her for her efforts to lead the crusade. Bravo!

Thank you... you're not the worst mod EVER. You do make valid points. Videos are bandwidth hogs. If the site is charged for bandwidth, it could end up being costly. If a special sub-forum was created so users could EMBED videos from sites more prone to handling this kind of load, it would be great. I think that would be the best route to go. What do you think?

If it's a huge deal to not be able to reply upon the uploading site to filter out the sub-18 content, why not try adding this functionality to kink-talk so you don't have to worry about much moderation at all?

depp is already aware of this - see a similar thread listed above, that was started last July (2010) depp has even posted reason and his views

Thanx, Rach... all the posters there had similar thoughts as to what we had here. The implementation still seems to be up in the air after a year. I'm guessing there were some back room conversations in PM amongst the mods and it got shot down. I'm more for the EMBED option myself, allowing people to EMBED YouTube or other "cloud based" services to have their HTML codes entered so the video pops up in their posts, or whereever. It wouldn't be too hard to implement, and lot's of people always do this kind of thing with their forums. For example, I think the code exists to do it here...

Obviously, the forum is NOT set up to process the HTML, but probably could be.

i understand that someone would have to moderate it and i know that it would take alot of working out but i still think its a good idea. it would be possibe to make a getDare youtube accout that you have to be 18 to go on, but this has the involvement of another site and i dont know how well that meeting would go lol. anyway just another idea :)

Even if gD posted up a YouTube site, gD admins would be the only ones knowing the password to do the uploads. There would still be an intermediate step of moving the uploads of members from some other place into the gD YouTube channel.

I think this is a bad idea as the mods have an already big enough problem managing stupid people who dont read the rules. (Or post in the wrong section, or post repeats/shit threads that spam up the forum, and people who dont do any research before posting and end up creating threads that already exist, +cough+ princessjessie +cough+). For mods to moderate properly, they will have to watch the whole video (instead of just viewing a single picture for a couple of seconds), and the workload involved is simply unreasonable, especally if you consider the user to mod ratio which up to thousands.
