How about making a subforum in the general off-topic forum? Instead of having all the videos posted in one huge sticky thread, each video (or a few videos, depending on the provider) would have it's own thread.

That way, I could read the topics and determine which videos will interest me, as opposed to reading a huge thread containing both new videos and comments to them all in one chaotic mix. Of course in the subforum people would comment on videos as well, but at least we know the first post in a topic with it's own name contains a video link, and the rest are comments.

Who's with me? I think that's more convenient.
 
I wouldn't mind one, but it would end up just being a mirror for sites like eBaumsworld.
 
It would be nice but I don't think they'd do it for some reason.
 
I came into the thread with the intent of saying no and ended up saying yes. But only if by Sub-forum you mean how Oblivion and BF2 are to the Games forum.
 
I'd say know. I enjoy the sticky. Some-posts a video then a discussion follows, then it moves on.

That's exactly what I mean.

Are we supposed to read your posts aloud? :p
 
All in favor say "Aye"

Aye!

And for all the rest, I have only two words for you.

Come on?

Come on?!
 
Subforum, for the love of god, a subforum!!!

I dont even look in that thread because its so bad to read, a funny video forum with clear titles would be brilliant
 
Could it be!? A successful forum request? :O
 
I think this would be waaaaaaay better than that stupid sticky.... it's way to hard to keep track of all that crap, there SHOULD be a sub-forum for videos!
 
Who has the power and right to create such a subforum?

Admins. I don't know if there's any besides Munro. I think Zerminski used to be one.
 
Subforum!

That Sticky is a joke now. All it is now are the first 10 pages repeated over and over because no one reads each page. The sticky sucks.

A subforum would get ALOT more attention and discussion on each topics... for example you locked a topic about nuclear missile videos when a really good discussion could of come from that. The sticky is just replies with link, with maybe 1 or 2 comments.

PLEASE make a subforum, would be so cool.
 
There arent enough threads on videos to have a sub forum I think. One thread can do can't it?
 
I think the idea is poor, reason being its just organised chaos. Putting it in one thread makes it cluttered, but only in that 1% corner of the forums. Heres what to expect in the subform...

Reply 2: hahaahahaha dats funny!

Reply 3: wtf? that was gay.

You get the idea how each thread will be like, yeah that would suck actually. Find someone who wants to moderate that kind of turd...
 
You're pretending like there are only going to be a bunch of children watching and commenting on those videos.

Some people want to discuss a video, which is practically impossible in the current thread, not to mention to find an older post.

Anyway, the people decide and the poll is pretty obvious (most are posted by members who see the problem of the current situation).
 
Glenn speaks the truth, most videos have very little room for discussion. So there will be spam.
