Here's the real question: are we allowed to add videos that SHOULD have the Wilhelm scream in them, but don't actually?

>> ^Issykitty:

Not a good comparison, especially since you said that you "dont get it NORE support it." sigh
>> ^BoneRemake:
yea I dont get it nore support it, why not have a channel dedicated to rubberbouncingballsthatarered if you are going to have this one.



with respect I think you are wrong as to your assertions my suggested channel was not on par with the wilhelm scream channel. I see it as this, The wilhelm scream is just as channel'able as a rubberbouncingballthatisred because its so targeted. If you where to see a video where a red bouncy ball was present, you would invoke it, if you where to see a red ball that could be bouncy you might invoke it. You seem to hold this wilhelm scream up to some high standard because it is used in various media forms and you must consider it some sort of cinematic beacon as to its great importance to our media, just as I do with
red
bouncy
balls
that
are
made

rubber

Voted-in channels sounds good-similar to voting on the cleverness of the T Shirt designs-Wilhelm scream channel??...the of smell aged cheese and cabbage wafts...should we perhaps have a big voting party to consolidate the channels here already?

I dont know if its a matter of letting the community decide, or having the powers that be decide. Its more a case of having a set guideline as to what should constitute a channel. In the other thread, Krono mentioned how the line between tags/channels/playlists has been blurred over time, and I think this is a result of that. If that is the case, then why have any of it? Each thing has its own purpose and should serve a certain function.

Tags: Used to make youre video visible to certain keyword searches.
Channels: Displays videos of a certain broad themes governed by a standard which is moderator controlled to preserve quality.
Playlists: Personal, user customizable lists of videos of your choice.

The Wilhelm Scream is nothing but an obscure movie reference about a reused, signature scream. What purpose does it serve for it to have its own channel? It fits quite well in the Obscure or Movie channels. Does the traffic to those videos warrant its own channel? Sure it may just be a spot out there on the internet, in its own little corner not harming anything, but then where do you draw the line? How about an Astronomy channel in addition to Spacy, or Physics in addition to the Science channel. Christian and Jewish channels in addition to Religion? I post a lot of things from the Sixty Symbols series, why dont I have a channel for that? Do you see my point? If you let the number of channels get out of control with subtopic channels that are covered in a broader "parent" channel, then you'll just have a giant mess of channels that frankly aren't really needed, and annoying to go through when choosing channels when submitting a video.

A site like this needs standardized topic channels. If someone wants to make a list for a more specific single topic, thats what playlists are for.

More power to YouDieJoe, but I am probably the one person on the planet that can't stand the Wilhelm scream. Every time I hear it, I roll my eyes. And of course, it's in EVERYTHING.

Sorry but my thoughts don't go to 'tribute' when I hear it, they go to 'lazy' and
'uninspired'. And now there's a female Wilhelm I've been hearing as of late, that again, is being used as the de facto for a scream of rape, or terror, etc. Ugh.

Oh well, nothing I can do about it, so time to move on to other things...

Great use of the Wilhelm scream in there. *promote

So, it's the music world's wilhelm scream?

Wilhelm scream.

Wilhelm scream at 0:37

upvote? meeeh...

...wilhelm scream? upvote!

Nice Wilhelm scream at 0:43

In case you think this is taken out of context, please feel free to reference the longer Gawker embed which I am unable to sift.

I like how Fox feebly covers up his pure insanity with a fucking banana peel slip noise and a crew member whistling "If I Only Had a Brain" (0:47 in Gawker embed). If only we could have stopped Hitler with the Wilhelm scream, no?

Hey, thanks.
