Glad we agree that pre-3.0 dead vids are fair game.

Unfortunately there's no more * save power, and afaik * promote is exclusively gold-100. I won't be able to do anything with discarded vids for a while.

I checked Eden's profile but I obviously missed her recent activity (which goes back to the current sift talk thread about active users).

fissionchips - Not sure if it's what you meant, but I wasn't talking about videos that were discarded because they were deaded pre-3.0. Obviously, those should be fair game, because there is no way to bring them back otherwise.

But why would you resubmit that video? You'll probably be able to save it yourself by the end of next week. I'll even help you get there.

To an extent I agree with you about discarded posts belonging to inactive users, but Eden is an active user. She just posted a vid last week (unfortunately a dupe which wasn't discovered until after hers got published, but that was because it was a pain in the ass to find the original).

Hey thanks! There is so much good music on the Sift. Some of my current favorite artists I discovered through other member's posts. I've wondered how many people have Pandora Radio accounts here. It'd be great if we could send each other our stations, if you know what I'm talking about.

I'm gonna have to make a "Schmawy's Awesome Music Picks" playlist! Keep 'em coming.

no, i want to see the full thing for sure, although it looks a bit over the top, but hey, it's an extreme situation.

Isn't it though? I knew when I sifted this, it wouldn't publish because it's just audio. Not many people know of this woman unfortunately. There's so little video of her around, I just had to post it long enough to get into my fingerpicking playlist.

She's one-of-a-kind. I could listen to her all day

i knew it had to be somewhere. I'm having some difficulties finding things with the search too sometimes.

*promote - sorry sg, my friend stopped making the dog biscuits. hope sam likes disco!

Ahh. Wasn't sure of your point when you pointed to that other discussion. Now I follow what you mean. Don't necessarily agree, but follow.

>> ^jonny: I'd like to remind everyone of this previous talk post concerning downvotes.
It sounds like you're suggesting that maybe it was all a coincidence.

Oh come on Lucky. Deathcow downvoted 8 of Anliz's vids in a row. Everyone on that thread knew damn well it wasn't a "statistical coincidence". The answer to Anliz was basically deal with it and don't get so hung up on those little numbers next to your name. Which is I think, the correct answer. I've had a stalker revenge downvoting me since october. So what if the idiot doesn't get it. No amount of my explaining that that breaks the system will change a brat's behavior. Get over it and get on with it.

Sorry about that. I searched and didn't find it. I guess I used the wrong search terms.

Oops. Not intentional. Yet another thing I overlooked. Thanks for the heads-up.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
The channel listing on the "modify post" page is not the same as the original post page. Don't know if that's intentional or not.

Yeah, strange how little love for the Dead we see here on the Sift (half of your otherwise very kind playlist languishes in the discard pile). I almost wanted to send a plea for votes onto SiftTalk, but decided it might be a cheasy move.

I did enjoy your Jack Straw, by the way. A really up-tempo, rocking version. I still get an ironic grin on my face whenever I hear from or about the former British Foreign Secretary of the same name.

Thanks for trying. I think I know where I'll use my first promote.

wuh? I get busy for a few days and something around here changes... What's different?

In reply to this comment by jonny:
too bad we can't promote old talk posts like that one.
[edit] Ha! We can now!
