Your wish is my command! Done, and thank you, because mellow's exactly the tag I was looking for on some of my other ones.

this is sweet! 'mellow' 'downbeat' tag?

Anything look familiar in this video? http://videosift.com/video/Tribute-to-the-giant-mining-machine-the-Bagger-288

I hadn't noticed! Thanks for pointing it out.

It was the beavers. Gotta love the beavers!

When a video is declared dead, the original poster is given two days to fix it before it goes into the dead pool. If it is fixed in that two day window, siftbot doesn't leave a message about it being fixed. It is kind of confusing. I think the reason is because the siftbot message only gets generated via the "fix embed code" link, but that doesn't show up until it's in the dead pool.

Oh! weird! I found it through a search and I saw this at the end of the comments :

"This published video has been declared non-functional; embed code must be fixed within 2 days or it will be sent to the dead pool - declared dead by kulpims."

But I guess if it works, then that doesn't matter at all..

To the right of the Front page is always the Top 15 videos. And yes, you are up there with the barfing choirboy. (I just watched that and I am still queasy -- I can actually smell vomit, talk about being susceptible to advertising!)

Not to brag, but I will.... I have three in the Top 15. Although the highest ranking one was a gift from eric -- he knows the topic of Mormons and gay marriage is close to my heart, so he gave it to me, knowing I'd love it. Eric is the most generous fellow -- not the first time he gave me a vid that went to top 15.

Another fun place to visit is beggar's canyon -- click on unsifted and it is a choice. These are vids that didn't get "published" within 2 days. Someone came along and begged for attention by putting it in beggar's canyon. You can find some pretty good stuff in there. Also some stuff that makes you wonder what the heck the sifter was thinking, but hey. It's a big diverse world, yeah?

When you go to Unsifted, there is the Top 15 that are expiring soon -- another place to see good vids that are on the brink of being published.

There's what I know today!

Why do you say it is in the dead pool? hasn't been called dead.... you may have stumbled into an area I know naught about!

Hi, Gale!

Do you have 'undeadening' powers?
This vid is so purdy but it went to the dead pool. The embed seems to be working for me (but you know us noobs!)

I would love to resurrect this vintage sift -- it is a classic!!
If only I could *promote this video, but alas I am but a nooob.

I know! what are the chances!?!
I'm not even competitive like SOME people haha..

Thanks, Gale!

>> ^bareboards2:

Top 15 on your second sift!!! Good on you, noobie!

Great sleuthing powers!
I thought it was really funny.

Yep. There it is. I searched for "iraq subtitles" and there she was! Only got 40 votes -- but that was 4 years ago. I'll bet if it got promoted or qualitied now, it would catch some more.
You have good taste! It really was hysterical.

I like your avatar!
