Youtube was a awesome video share community, before google got it. Now, its a shitstorm of adds, slow loading times, censorship, and more recently Pay for Download. Refer to this thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=767312[/url].
Now, I think this has gone a little too far. Making profit out of people work?
Facepunch, being a big online community, has the power to influence the choices of the cibernaunts. Im pretty sure that there are free websites for free video share out there waiting for the world to use them.
The point of this thread is, to evaluate those sites and decided which website we will use. Of course, if you still want to use your crappy youtube, its your decision.
As a member of facepunch, you have a influence on the internet. Lets suggest various websites, and shall the facepunch community decided which is the best for us to use.
I usually don't mind Youtube, as it's the video site that everyone uses, but it's been slow as fuck lately.

As they also say, they've got a really awesome community
But well it's more of a grown-up site than the "Internet" as we know it...
No, we dont.
i miss stage6 :saddowns:
We had a thread like this a while ago. Bottom line is I doubt anyone's got the cash - YouTube's haemmorraging money as it is.
wait for [url]http://thevideobay.org[/url]

been waiting for a good 2 years now
We have no influence.
[B]1.[/B] Out of sites like us, SA is bigger.
[B]2.[/B] The majority of the people using the internet have no idea what Something Awful/Facepunch are.
[B]3.[/B] Facepunch can never co-ordinate their efforts (except for that time we google bombed Fucking Incredible), because we're all a bunch of immature pricks.
Many communities are awesome before they go mainstream.
YT is good for keeping all the moronic little 12 year olds (it's community basically) from going to other sites.
We need Stage6 back.
so hard to find video sites.
The sole reason I want another youtubeish site, is for all the videos I had removed because of Warner's stupid copyright claims :bang:
metacafe
We need to get FP's best programmers to make an awesome site and someone who would be kindly enough to host it all for us, then we need machinima guys to make awesome videos and post them, and then we would have our own awesome video site where we could do anything we like! FUCK YEAH!
Name suggestions? FPvideos? FaceVideos? Whatever, I dunno.
Youtube is pretty great i don't know what your complaining about because i never saw a AD (Adblock plus? heard of it before?), Pretty good loading times, People who can't use the Fair use dispute in a video because they don't know how, and using stuff like vixy.net to download them for free.
And for my Youtube that is riddled with copyrights from WMG, EA, and more ([url]www.youtube.com/ps360facepunch[/url] ) i got to say i like it.
also, for you people who want to fight copyright:

I can host,I have an old webserver just sitting around doing noting,just get the domain and some coders. BTW this old webserver has 3 1tb drives i it so dont worry bout storage.
Vimeo
Viddler
Blip.tv
I always go to those before going to Youtube if I don't manage to find what I want.
I've been looking for someplace else to post videos as I'm sick of all the shitty copyright claims that's been hitting every video of mine that's not a walkthrough guide for the Delta Force BHD games.
FP only supports youtube media tag. This is why only YT is used.
One of these days, Youtube will fall. I just knew it
Vimeo. It's amazing.
Sounds a cool Idea about a facepunch video site, problem is...
1. We can't organise ourselves to save our life.
2. No-One would use it, youtube has many more videos and is [arguably] better made.
2. If it did get popular, 1 server would not be enough.
my only fucking issue with youtube lately is the damned audio lagging.

Liveleak.
They don't censor shit.
Just because some whiny bastard starts whining, doesn't mean that everyone else starts whining too.
DEAL WITH IT.

It's not the 'programming' that's hard. Any rem could set up a youtube video site, it's the money that's the problem. It costs shit loads.
