Don't forget that the bookmarks were not lost. You don't have that many but I see a few videos there.
I have like 50 pages of bookmarks so it came very helpful, since I have a lot of favorites in there.

I was going through queues (after knocking out my bookmarks and promotes etc) but I think I'll go this route and tackle it oldest to newest. See you in the middle some time ..

ok I got bored and now I'm doing it via tags .. starting with wkuk ..

I wish I could give you a *quality for this.

I've just been going via profiles of people who frequently sifted videos I like, and plan to also get to channels that I like later on. It's going to take a long time to get the votes back to where they were, but like other have said, this is a great community and people are putting in a lot of effort already. Star points, amounts of videos sifted, etc, don't really matter, the great thing about this site is the many fantastic people that populate it.

A thanks to all of you.

playlists are a good thing too. I am upvoting everything in all of mine. radiohead FTW!

oldest to newest for me - realising how many pages i have to go through triggers the emotions i used to feel as i started to clean my bedroom as a teenager.

Well I WAS going to do something important this weekend but now I have to find those 3800+ videos I voted for.

By now I've gone through some 30+ members' profiles so far and I've still got 50+ tabs open to sift through

What I didn't like seeing though was that a couple of those folks had ALL of their sifts upvoted by someone else. I realize me going through specific users' queues and all is already preferential treatment that usually shouldn't be encouraged, but simply upvoting everything really defeats the whole purpose.

I went through all my own posts first, because I knew I upvoted them in the first place. Nextup is all my playlists, which I upvoted too.

I'm not sure, I want to go though all ALL the videos, because I probably didn't do that before anyway. I dunno what I'll do, maybe a tag search looking for similar topics. (All south park, for instance.)

On the upside, I can decide to downvote things I've been on the fence with before and accidental downvotes are essentially fixed by this,

My list, playlists, member lists, tag searches, the random button.

I think it's pointless for people to be submitting anything right now. I'd love to be able to discourage that for a few days so we can all concentrate on the clear up.

Oh and go through your comments!

I will be going through channels, knowing I have upvoted lots from 'wtf' and 'catsanddogs', 'cute' and so on. Playlists are great too.

Once my super hangover is done, I'll start for real.

I agree. One thing that could happen is that since everyone is upvoting upvoting upvoting, then the recently sifted videos get most of the votes, (like that daily show post currently at 70+, that's a huge gap over the other posts worthy of that number of votes but that are older.) the unsifted get another big chunk of the votes, and then people get tired or lazy and don't bother going through the older posts.

I start with some members videos and then go through i think smaller channels then *gulp comedy music etc - is going to be fun i dont have much time this weekend but i will do my best

Well I'm done with the first 150 pages. Only 3300 to go. Piece of cake.

Gee....what a NICE guy.
