Replace Simfile Area with Video Area - Page 2

**Synthlight** · 10-31-2004, 03:07 PM

I tried putting Arch in charge of the simfile area but to my knowledge he never really attempted to admin or flag anything. It eventually became a mess. I don't know if someone else would do better or worse.

Cheers,

Synthlight

Hor hor. (Why hor hor? Eh...)

It's meaningless. Should the need come up to host a video file, people should be able to find a place to host it and share it with us. This should only REALLY need to occur once per person for the "proof" video. Only people like Nima, Reach, and Arch0wl ever made more than one that people cared about anyway.

Personally, I'd host the video file on my webspace (and I've done so before). But, that same webspace couldn't handle the 500+ downloads of one of my simfiles. Yours can.

Har hor.

Keep the simfile section, but redo it.

Privateer · 10-31-2004, 09:04 PM

It would be more valuable if more people could make videos. There are so few that can...

I don't think the issue of keeping a video upload area clean would be a problem, though.

I say you get rid of both and make the site run faster. BMS is fine for sims, and if someone can make a video, they should be able to find a place to host it (except for Nima :P).

har har

even though a good portion of my collections comes from that db

Hor hor to a video section. Very few people would use it, simply because not many people have access to the necessary equipment.

I'm with Privateer, actually. With the BMS database in existence, the one here is kind of pointless (except for Moogy :P).

Hell, I say do neither and bring back the User Gallery.

**Tasselfoot** · 11-1-2004, 05:32 AM

well, from the looks of things, it seems like the only real advantage we would get from having this video area is being able to see Nima's crazy vids. yes, it would most likely incourage others to make vids also, but hardly anyone makes them as of now. perhaps something else could be done...

maybe Synth would be kind enough to host Nima's vids, and provide a link to them in brag board. that way we could keep the simfile db (maybe clean it up a little) and also be able to see the craziest of crazy vids from Nima.

flypie743 · 11-1-2004, 05:34 AM

I say make the simfile section hold vids and still hold stepfiles. But redo the section, get a new person in charge of it, etc.

I really like flypies idea.

The simfile section really needs to be revamped. Why not revamp it so that it can have videos uploaded to it! It's a win win situation.

Oh, and yes, fix the Image Gallery.

**Kagome** · 11-1-2004, 08:41 AM

You know, you could upload videos to the user gallery.

**macgravel** · 11-2-2004, 05:40 PM

I need all my simfiles back synth cause my comp died and erased everything and if you could some how get them to me I would be very pleased!...Please!!!!!...Oh yeah im one of the many people who cant download off of this site...

**jimerax** · 11-2-2004, 07:24 PM

yeah, just enlarging the capacity of FFR User Gallery is a better idea.

emccky · 11-2-2004, 07:46 PM

i need the video section so i can upload my vid XD

RobbyZero · 11-2-2004, 08:46 PM

Har Har.

emccky · 11-3-2004, 02:42 PM

i think everyone approves synth.

flypie743 · 11-3-2004, 03:00 PM

No, read the thread emccky. There were people who said "Hor hor' and "Har hor". Not everyone.

Kenzya · 11-3-2004, 04:08 PM

I'd say it be a way to bring in new people to the site, maybe find some more people who can create things for R2. With my previous suggestion that is. Just hire like 5 people to check all the simfiles and maybe give them a review before they put them up. I think it'd be WAY more constructive than a video section.

might as well it doesnt even work right now HAR HAR
