@spoco2 has proposed a channel named *Internet, described as follows:
The history and impact (past and present) of the wondrous Internet and World Wide Web. The place to come and marvel at how this thing we now take for granted came into being, and also gasp at how it's still changing the world today.Should this channel be activated?

I vote against this ridiculous channel, who needs something like this? Madness I say, madness!
*Quite whispers*
Oooooh, mine you say?
I see, that's a touch awkward.
A vote for this channel is a vote for freedom, if you vote against this you love the enemy. And the enemy is a robot call Stan who likes to eat babies.

Just to clarify - this is a channel about the Internet medium itself and not Internet culture?
For example would Internet memes be included?

Yeah, about the technology, history and social impact of the internet. A video about what memes are would fit, but a meme video like the Nyan Cat itself would not.
What about a video of Nyan Cat watching a video about memes on a web browser?
Please advise.

I'm afraid that falls under subsection 7, paragraph D, and is considered a meme video unto itself (As the Nyan Cat is the main protagonist in the video), so it would have to be excluded.
I vote "Yes".
I've thought about the need for a channel like this before.
First!
In my best Sharon Osborne accent: "It's a yes from me" =o)
I hope it has a good description. Not like that Future channel or Kids channel, which have disgustingly dumbed down "closed for business" descriptions.
Jes sayin.
So this channel is okay, but *technology was discouraged? Hmm...

I think where we last left the tech channel was "put it to a poll">> ^Hybrid:

Good luck @spoco2 and congrats!!!

I hope you know what you're in for. This will be one of the most misused channels on the site.

I'll try and make the short description as clear as possible, and the long one even more so... and hey, I'm up for some slashing and burning of RickRoll videos
Making the description clear will do nothing to help. People put videos in channels based on what they think the channel name alone implies. All the description means is that you'll be doing a lot of channel maintenance removing videos that shouldn't be in there. Enjoy!

I'm going to use this new channel to bring Rule 34 videos in.

How about the "channel," channel?
Bless you, sir!
