Scheduled Downtime: VideoSift v4.0 Launches
This Saturday night, US Pacific time, siftbot has ordered us to upgrade VideoSift to the fantastic, new version 4.0.
During the upgrade, the Sift will have to be put into Razzleberry mode. It will probably take a couple of hours, but good things come to those who wait.
We can't wait for you all to see what v4.0 has to offer. Siftbot has outdone itself this time. We'll catch you on the flip side.

Nice! I look forward to complaining about how much I hate all the changes. This is definitely *quality news.
Awarding lucky760 with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by Sarzy.
This Saturday night we rest.
See you all on the other side.
Wow, can't wait.
Also can't wait for the reactions. Personally I promise not to bitch too much
Good luck.
Will there be a meebo chat in the mean time?
Can you lose the votes on all the videos again, that was fun.
This Saturday night, US Pacific time, ...
Any particular hour of the night? Should that read, "This Saturday at midnight, PDT, ...?"
Give 'em the ole razzle-berry. Razzleberry 'em.
Why does this comment thread remind me of Heaven's Gate?
Are you all wearing Nike sneakers as well?
Videograter is back for good huh?
Is it sad that I thought about this before I got your reference there Crake?
I feel like Alice just about to peer through the looking glass.
I'm scared!!
Also, do our queued submissions get extra hours extensions?
What's in it for me?
I figure this is the spot to suggest a certain change for 4.0:
Blocked videos. Particularly from Comedy Central - can there be a 'Blocked' box to check alongside 'Brief' 'Long' and 'NSFW' when submitting so that they are automatically marked as blocked before submission, therefore sparing users from having to mark them blocked, and for anyone else viewing, sparing them the small amount of time/frustration that comes from realizing you can't view all these quality Colbert/Dailyshow/etcetera clips?
I'm just reiterating Endall's point. There are so many comedy central videos that are sifted that can't be watched outside the US (for me in Canada i don't know about other countries). Comedy Central has a deal with CTV in Canada where they block their videos to Canada and you have to watch them through their thecomedynetwork.ca. site which is a total and complete piece of crap of a website. Obstacling thru the ads and trying to find the clip u want to see is never ending. I know I'm drifting more and more the more I type but I have to say fuck you CTV for denying me my Daily Show clips. BTW you can usually see the show a couple of hours after it aired on ninjavideo.net.
Man a ranted a bit off topic. I can't wait to see the new layout of 4.0.
Great job guys, pat yourselves on the backs and enjoy many cold beers, you've earned them. I can't wait and I know it's going to be awesome.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new 4.0. I have to say you guys have created something great in videosift. It's a unique, fair, funky, democratic site.
I just hope there wasn't a coup that disposed Dag to takeover videosift and created 4.0.(lol). anyway cheers.

Certainly. (For all the uninitiated, the meebo chatroom is titled "Razzleberry" which is what I was referring to ^up above).

Oh, absolutely. That's the biggest new feature in v4.0. Not only will we delete all votes, but all the videos too!

Nope, no particular hour. Just whenever I become available to start working.

Hmm. Interesting question. I won't make any promises, but I'll keep that point in mind. Trying to muck with stuff like that can cause unforeseen problems (particularly if I make a mistake and screw it up) and I'll already have a few hours worth of mountainous tasks on my plate.
Hmmm...might have to break out Photoshop and put on some new duds for the premiere. It's the red carpet, you know!
I think a nice addition would be the ability to combine channel searches. For instance, when I click on channels, I would like to be able to select *Comedy* AND *News*, and see all videos with both tags.
Just a thought.
Adding post to channels (Comedy, News) - requested by Throbbin.

Do not fear! All will be welcome in the new world- and honey will flow down streets paved with chocolate. You'll see.

My booze-o-meter is shortening my shelf life tonight. I'm hoping he's an early bird... Lucky is west coast U.S. right?

A cam would be very boring on my end. I'm lieing in bed nursing a migraine. Lucky is managing all the updates from his side.

oh, I'm seriously so sorry...I get migraines...computer screen on very very low brightness if at all...the good news is that it does end ~ eventually.
*smooch on forehead*
I just fell asleep w/ laptop on me... I suck. Two glasses of wine has done me in.
Dag, you need Goodys headache powders... pretty much Tylenol, aspirin and caffeine. They work though!
