What channel should I make?
I'll be hitting ruby soon, so I'm starting to think about what channel to create. I've put a few ideas I've had into a poll to get things going. I think you'll agree that my suggestions are all very strong ideas and are all worthy of creation at some point down the line.
Which to choose... tough decision. Vote wisely.

*tragedy (opposed to comedy and happy)
*cartoon (sorta already done with woohoo)
*supershort (videos under 20 seconds)
*fire since we got water now
*abuse (of power, of anything. Bound to depress you eventually)
*depressing (might be covered by dark)
*sifter (for videos with sifters
Those are a few off the top of my head
congrats on the ruby
Damn, a ruby looks good next to my name.
Regarding channels, from a serious point of view, I was thinking about middleeast as a channel. I grew up in Abu Dhabi and still have family in Dubai and have always been attached to the place. However, I think it'll get mixed up with Islam too much - not that it should, Islam is a religion, Middle East is a place. But I still think it'd be a pain to moderate from that point of view.
Really wished I was here in time to create videogames.
middleeast is a good choice, even if it's a bit of a bitch to write and invoke. It saves us from the more inflammatory waronterror + islam connection.
How about *skills? We have two channels dedicated to people fucking up, but nothing for people showing their bad ass skills.
*other

Great idea. I think *badass would be a perfect name for a channel.
How about *badtag or something like that. Then there will be a channel that starts to pick up all of the videos that were poorly tagged(and possibly could use a redo).
*everything (when yer feelin' lazy)
*w/e (when yer feelin' indifferent)
*iono (when yer feelin' confused)
*tuvan throat singing (self-explanatory)
Skills would end up covering quite a broad range of videos, though ideally you wouldn't want it to. I'd want to see genuine skills of a person. The reality is, a skateboarder doing a one off trick might end up in there - "that skater's got skills!"
how about *sombreros
*badass is great.
*D&D
*Bacterium
*Michellerodriguez
How about instead of creating a new channel when you hit ruby, you get to veto an existing one? Or even get shared responsibility of one, or take over one that's currently got nobody running it, since there really are more than enough channels as it stands.
I support bf's *skills suggestion. It's a channel I'd really like to see actually.
I'd say *glennbeck, but I'm not allowed to * kill channels.
There is a *health channel, but I think *medicine would be a good idea.
Congrats on your ruby!
*goatse
This is a good idea

@GDGD and @Kreegath, you don't have to make a new one. I took over an existing one when I went ruby.
Well I'd take over video games, but I think the owner is still around in some capacity.
I do also like the idea of "skills", but I'm concerned that it would end up getting all sorts of videos that aren't necessarily skills... for example...
* Flukey, half court basketball shots.
* Kevin Costner explaining his oil from water extraction system.
* A skateboarder performing a one-off trick etc.
* A gamer throwing performing an amazing 5 person grenade kill in Modern Warfare 2.
* etc.
I would have liked all those examples in a *skills, tbh. Sort of the opposite of fail - *win

That would be *skillz.
In that vein, how about *1337?

we need another channel like we need another choggie

My suggestion is to make a channel that encourages new content rather than a channel that's just another way to categorize all our MSNBC, Louis CK, and cute kitten videos.
Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting notwilhelm - To provide, at a glance, certified reassurance that a video is wilhelm scream free.
90s, 00s, africa, architecture/design, education, europe, fan (mashup), fashion, holidays, homme (man), ict, latin(o), poetry/spoken word, pranks, psa (public service announcement), psychology, registrations, robots, seniors, tragedy (drama), violence
..will all go fine with your Rrruby!
