I see you've been cleaning up the sift. Well done. Love your latest video. You a funny guy

Ok fanboys and girls aside, highdileeho's post got me to thinking that perhaps we should all take a bit of time like our pal eric827364982374, and go through the sift and do a bit of house-cleaning-

For some of you, who tend to post in a linear fashion from some of the major news organizations, and lack the spark of creativity that sets us apart from the beasts and foul, and who have a particular world view that is parroted by most of those who have been spoon-fed the sheit from television for so long that your limbic system is so much Rupert Maddock's bitch.....

Sorry bout all the dead meat in your fanvid collection-looks as if they have pulled the bulk of Olberman's stuff off the youtubes....god knows I can't stand political editorials anyhow-hope you can find fixes for all of em!

Best. Fanvid. Ever.

This exact vid used to be here until the feed was pulled -- now there's a fanvid in its place:

http://www.videosift.com/video/Sia-Breathe-Me-1

Not sure whether that makes this a dupe or not.

A [better] non-fanvid version: Amageddon Days Are Here (Again) - live at Royal Albert Hall

The The wins for obvious reasons here.

Who?

The The - Dogs of Lust

The The - Armageddon Days are here (again) has lyrics that were timely 20 years ago and are perhaps more timely today. (It's a fanvid but the song surpasses the delivery vehicle)

So good, it overpowers the mediocrity of the fanvid!

Since you mentioned it's a fanvid, I don't want to watch it. But it's Postal Service, so it gets an immediate upvote.

don't really like fanvids, tbh, but I love the postal service, and especially this song, so this gets a big upvote from me.

Mink: I would suggest that you just learn to accept that this site is never going to be exactly what you want it to be, nor is it ever going to be exactly what I want it to be, or exactly what Thylan or anyone else wants it to be... such is the nature of the interwebs, and I commend Dag for being a leader without restriction.

Just try to find yourself a good little niche within it that you can be happy in, that is what I have done, because if you were to ask me, I would tell you that I completely share in your dislike of LOLcats, mashups, fanvids, and prefer that people sift thoughtful, informative content. But, I've learned to accept that there is little that can be done about this without completely changing the nature of the site, which I don't think would be good at all and would be contrary to everything I love about its open ended egalitarian format. So, I've just learned to ignore that which I find trivial, and I don't even notice most of that stuff anymore because I've gotten so damn good at ignoring it... as well as certain comments or topics that I personally do not want to get involved arguing over or perhaps find offensive. As others have pointed out, thick skins are essential to hanging on to an online community for any amount of time.

Also, I don't think you have been here long enough to fully grasp just how much things have changed, it used to be, way back before channels and collectives, that getting anything other than lolcats or people injuring themselves published was nigh impossible. Since the implementation of new features, there is definitely a broader range of content, so just be patient, things are changing for the better.

I'd also like to ask you to please cut the admins, dag especially, some slack, because it just seems to me that every time they make a move to change anything or offer an opinion or idea of their own, you jump all over them demanding all kinds of explanations or accuse them of going about things the wrong way... its their site man, be thankful for them that they've put all this work into it and given you a place to play and the free speech to even question them in the first place... because if they really wanted to, they could strong arm that away too... and I, for one, am glad that this site is run the way that it is.
