gwizz wanted to get rid of it because of dupe issues. I posted in his talk that a promote and a search help to solve most of those issues.

Gwizz is getting bashed pretty hard for not searching for the video before he posted it and that's unfortunate cuz it avoids the real issue.

Zifnab's video would not have gotten sifted because his video was sitting in his PQ for 3 months with only 6 votes.

Gwizz's video did get sifted because he had a superior title, and maybe even chose a better time of day to sift it.

The Sift should be a competitive place. We aren't rewarded with shiny trinkets and votes for nothing. We should have Capitalistic tendencies, but the PQ can be used for anti-competitive tactics by hoarding videos and just waiting for someone else to have success and then cry "dupe!"

It is called personal queue for a reason. gwizz wanted to get rid of it because of dupe issues. I posted in his talk that a promote and a search help to solve most of those issues.

A video going to a pqueue does not always have to do with quality. Have you even considered long videos? do you actually think a long video being requeued will make it? In most cases it will not. Do you think I don't think carefully about what to sift? Hell it is precisely because I think about it that I don't focus on short videos, and on videos with empty content. There are way too many of those, which is fine, but I think it is better to keep variety and balance so as a response to that situation most of my posts are long, this means 2/3 of my videos on queue don't make it to the front right away.

I am not saying the pqueue is perfect but to assume that getting rid of it will somehow have an effect in quality is to forget a lot factors that come into play when a video is able to get to the front.

There also needs to be more open mindedness and willingness to go through the queue. Right now the queue has 10 pages, and on the weekends it gets sometimes longer. How many of you take the time to at least quickly scan through it? or do you go to the first few pages and move on to the front because you assume there is the security that the videos at the front are worth watching?

How many long videos do you vote every month? Do you guys really use the channels? do you try to explore the content of this site outside of your preferences, at least every once in a while? How much emphasis do you give to the title in order to determine if a video deserves your attention, and are you aware of how flawed that could be?

Unfortunately other than a pq limit, there is no other alternative I could think of, but understand that I am responding to this because if you get rid of the queue then the type of videos that I am focusing on will suffer, because they are only being posted by a minority of people.

I know nothing about this, but it does seem automated.
A quick search for "server spike automated" over at google brought up this:

Could it be that?

yeah CC embeds are frowned about, but its the best we got, probably better then nothing, nobody likes a dead video, us canucks will have to survive.

thanks for the search help. i did find it, but i know comedy central embeds are a little frowned on since they're not viewable outside the US. also, oppenheimer's review of the bomb is now the number one video on DPFA

However I'm happy to report it is the highest rated video of all time in the DPFA Channel.

You should be able to replace it with a video from here.

When I started hunting, all I could remember was “Trip Fantasia.” Just using those words in a search helped me find the lyrics and title to the song. From that I was able to find the music video.

For those interested in the lyrics;
