Title: youtubes
Post by: Guy on 27 February 2008, 21:54
how about having a child board in the nonsense section for youtube links... 

although I am one for looking at the occasional youtube related link it would be good to know that you are going into a youtube related topic if you don't have the time or if, for example you are at work behind a firewall, saves opening threads that you cannot view

just an idea?  :wink:

i think that's the nonsense section isn't it?

was just thinking that youtube link posts are a different animal to the others?

Agreed. Pain in the aris. "Watch this, Look at this!" and so on. End up waiting ages for said "watch this" file to download, to more than often end up hurrumphing at the sh1tness of it.
Get lost You Tube fans, stick to the subject.. :angry:

they would - but i can't imagine an easy way to block only links to youtube?  :undecided:

would be easy to filter out youtube links, but i have nothing against people posting them.. just don't see the need for a seperate section for them -shrug-

i  just hover the cursor over the thread title and after about a second it gives you the first bit of text.  you can usually see the external link from that if there is one.  works for me

if you know what they are then I believe them to be ok - ie. knowing it is a youtube/video before you enter the thread allows you to make a decision based on whether or not you are in a position to spend time watching rich media etc

1. you cannot join team grumpy. ever.
2. you spam half the threads you post in, just like alot of people. don't bother trying to make me rise to an arguement with supposedly contradicting evidence or maybe i'll use your suggestion and start deleting post until you get the message.
