Congratulations on improving your rank. You are now ranked #92. You have left user persephone in your dust. Keep up the good work!

*wtf and did persephone give up on the sift? This crap would never be allowed in the sexuality channel.

Your rank has dropped by 1. You are now ranked #93. User persephone is now ahead of you. You can do better than persephone, can't you? You're only 3 votes away from getting back in front of persephone.

(How did I miss that one? It's hysterical!)

And one to go. I'll take care of it for you tomorrow.

Swamped at work, you say? Maybe you need another trip to India. (Yes, I read persephone's interview. )

Hey -- sorry for the wait, I've been swamped lately! I've decided not to bother with the Peter Sellers vids; here are the two that I'd love to have you promote at your convenience:

Thanks KP!

Seriously joe, aren't you too young a man to be nostalgic about the 'good old days?' Listen to yourself:

"They were different times back then...better times with better people."

What does that have to do with the price of tomatoes? You don't like the new crop of members, so you mock cat videos that you would have posted yourself only a year and a half ago? Again, please explain your algorithm.

I've been here slightly over a year now, so here is a list of things I COULD complain about, if they really bothered me:

When I joined you could:

1. Crack the Top 15 if your video had a vote tally in the high 20's
2. Requeue videos for as long as you wanted
3. Give *quality points for Sift Talk posts, and they cost you nothing
4. ALWAYS edit your comments
5. And Dailymotion, MySpace, Yahoo, and VideoJug all had thumbnail images.

I could complain about those things every day if I wanted, but I don't care enough to even think about them. Plus many new, cool features have been introduced.

However there is something I will complain about, but there ain't a damn thing any of us can do about it: Members who have left. I miss (in no particular order):

CaptWillard
raven
rickegee
critttter
mlx
thesnipe
snoozedoctor
uhohzombies
intangiblemeg
persephone

And the list goes on. Some may have left because they didn't like the direction the place was headed, but most left for other reasons. If you miss some of your old friends, I'm sorry. Obviously I miss a few people too, and the place isn't the same without them. However there have been many cool new people who have joined after I came on board, and here's a few of them, in no particular order:

ornthoron
alien_concept
Zonbie
evil_disco_man
burdturglar
rasch187
gourmetemu
Sarzy

And so on. Life goes on, so it's time to move on.

One more thing about "can we have behavior rules" talks: They happen because someone crosses a line. Take choggie, for example. We didn't have any hard and fast rules about indiscriminately discarding videos because it just never happened. Then choggie decided he could play God with other people's videos, and he kept on pushing it by doing it over and over until we HAD to do something. The Secret Order of Unnecessary Rules had nothing to do with the clarification and enforcement of the discard rules. HE did.

Just like many new laws, many new rules often have to be introduced to close loopholes and prevent willful, destructive behavior to the site. This isn't a perfect place; of course there are flaws. But any time we try to fix them someone complains that "We didn't need such-and-such back in MY day." Well they didn't have stoplights back when the first cars hit the roads either, but then there was growing number of traffic accidents at intersections, so something had to be done.

God, I can't believe I spent my time writing all that when I could have been drinking.

Moving this video to persephone's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Persephone asks: Why is there a cow mooing at the end?


Because their voiceboxes are incapable of screaming in horror like humans? X D

Hahhahaha how ignorant you are....Romance and sex lol yeah right, selling sex toys for a living "romance" wow....I don't have time to spend on ignorance like this. Go and sell your stuff, leave my name alone and stop this! *Clicks Ignore Button*


In reply to this comment by LittleRed:
I'm certainly not jealous. My boyfriend is a member here, and is a more-than-contributing member. There is also a huge difference in promoting romance and sex education for a job and blaring my relationship across every page possible. I don't have to go to profiles to read others' comments. Last I checked, lovey-dovey comments aren't just on profiles. They clutter up video threads and SiftTalk, along with blogs. It's impossible to miss.

P.S. If I want to leave someone a comment saying I left you a comment once upon a time, I'll do so. You're not my mother.

In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
Did I read my name here again?? God you love me don't you?! lol I think somebody is jealous about others love comments in here, do you have a problem with that? You don't have to go other peoples profile to read love comments that is their own business don't you think...you are just so nosy, tell your boyfriend to join the sift (if he is not already here,well I think he is) so we can read your lovey dovey comments too. Oh, I forgot you DON'T discuss your love life here but you make "passion parties" "Where Everyday is Valentine's Day" for a living..ok

You are here just to judge people for stupid reasons and you don't contribute to this website at all....

Stop mentioning me to other people, directly or indirectly...



It's obvious to even a blind person that the two are dating. They spread their stickily sweet lovey-dovey relationship on every comment written, every blog post, even their profile. Maybe internet relationships just have to communicate their attachment to everyone in fear the next internet girl or guy will steal their partner away? I don't understand the meaning behind that, and I do find it curious that the only two couples on here who aren't content with making the occasional comfortable relationship comment (i.e. Issykitty and DFT OR laura and DonJuan, OR Dag and Persephone) are long-distance, on another continent couples. Ugh. That aside, it's obvious they're dating. Anyone who makes a comment like "Maybe we should talk" is OBVIOUSLY not intending that as a pick-up line, especially with a militant boyfriend around the corner.

If you want to label me as a feminist, I will proudly accept that label. However, unlike some, I don't want to give a bad name to feminists for my views. By that, I mean I don't speak for anyone else or females in general when I say what I do. I think it's disgusting that she's running to someone else to do her dirty work, and even blames that on the fact that she's female and has had less-than-perfect interactions with men in the past. Do I scorn her for showing "feminine" traits in this situation? If you want to consider those "feminine traits," be my guest. I see weakness and a complete lack of self-respect, or self-confidence. She purports to be extremely confident in her relationship, to the point that she allows her boyfriend, as long as he's on another continent, to watch porn. [Considering that's the way their relationship is, fine. But when her views on porn in anything other than a long-distance relationship are the same or similar to the ones thepinky and I were trying to share, she shouldn't have acted so self-righteous.] Yet at the same time, she's not comfortable enough to have a strange guy make a perfectly innocent, somewhat flirtatious comment, and neither is her boyfriend.

In addition, I do not "continuously troll a website with [my] snide comments." Sure, I may contribute a snide comment on occasion - the only two I can think of outside this discussion are the comment to LadyDeath about how she should apologize for quoting thepinky on the porn thread, and to K0MMIE when he attacked me in his post on the same topic. No, I may not contribute much video-wise. As I've said before, I joined for the discussion; I'm not a vote whore. In topics that are not emotionally charged or sexist, my comments are well-thought-out and generally appreciated. I have several comments from the first few months I joined that, if the comment voting system had been in place, I would have a star by now. Sure, maybe that doesn't negate the fact that what I have said recently, some people may consider out of line. Then again, I don't have to answer to anyone but myself.
