See You On The Other Side
I'm sorry, It's just not working out. Maybe it's the cat videos, maybe Farhad's recent resignation, maybe I have too much on my plate. I'm leaving. I'm going Videocu.lt full-time now. My sift-will leaves my avatar and responsibility to downvote cat videos to ObsidianFire, my Power Points to schmawy, and my videos to Siftbot. Give the Fighting Robots one to my dad, as it was his idea. If I had to pinpoint the beginning of the Death of the Sift, it would probably be between LadyDeath joining, and Zonbie's 100-gold star. This is the end, and I'm jumping ship with the rats.

That's a shame. You're not doing this site any favors by leaving Randomize. We'll leave a light on for you and there's no shame in coming back, even if just to say 'hi'.
They're just damn websites anyway.
Good grief, one lemming falls off a cliff and they all jump.
Anyone want to clue me in as to why so many people are making their grandiose exodus from the Sift? I'm doing that shit next. I'm such a follower.

Yeah, but what can one person do if his favourite website is being eaten away from the inside by fucking cats? Downvoting has no effect. It's what the sifting public wants, and one more downvote isn't going to change that. I can more or less count the people against cat videos (that I'm aware of) on one hand. Me, MINK (I think), ObsidianFire, and Farhad. Sorry schmawy.
Hi Randomize - That nearly looks like hate there - whats going on?
What are you trying to say there ? Why single out me and lady death?
I dont understand why is My name and so Mr Zonbie in Here,are we that Famous?? do you have a Problem with us?? if you are leaving then good luck and bye...this is childish and extremely ridiculous
You're leaving over an abundance of cat videos? What's up with that? There are plenty of videos we all dislike, but we just ignore them.
[EDIT] Randomize, are you in a rap group?
...and yet you have a cat avatar
Don't be stranger hon.. like Schmawy says, we'll leave the light on ![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/smile.gif)
If cats were the only problem, you could just filter them out - there's a channel for them.

I have a feeling many people from the sift are going to dip their toes in videocu.lt. Personally, I feel that it doesn't hold a candle to videosift, but that's just me. You're welcome to come crawling back when you feel like.
Communities like these aren't monogamous as such, you can do both if you want. Hell, every single poster on videocu.lt right now is subjugated from videosift anyway, so right now cu.lt works by snapping of parts of this community. I suppose this happens when a community gets too large.
Have a fun vacation at videocu.lt.
You guys are trying to create a rivalry between the two sites where there is none. Why does this need to happen?
Goodbye cruel sift! What's with the fucking sanctimony on this site lately? Get over yourself.

Apples and Oranges... different sites, different ways, different uses.

Amen brotha! That's not what's happening. at. all.
I really like both sites, thank you very much.![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/tongue.gif)
Please don't give up on the down voting cats, if 4 or 5 of us find them quickly we can get them discarded.
i'm not leaving but i did change my avatar
One last comment: I think I may have been misunderstood. I don't want to spark a rivalry, I just feel that Videocu.lt is better for me. Less complicated, my kind of sifters, etc. It's not just the cat videos, it's kind of a train wreck of things happening to me that takes up so much time , I can't find any time to post things I want. When I found myself not looking to what you want to post, but what others will like I think my control slipped from me quite a bit. Things I like are no longer getting sifted, needing 3 or even 4 begs just to make it out, and peaking at 20 votes. And in the real-o-sphere my band is actually starting recording so my time is going to shrink even more. I didn't mean for my exit to sound so dramatized as it turned out. Think of this as a hiatus.
i'm posting there too, but i'm not leaving the sift just yet. most of the stuff i already put up is sifted here, but there are some of my videos i didn't yet post on the sift so if you're looking for some good material - you're welcome. i just did a huge george carlin collection, if you're interested (playlists and all)

You still dont answer the questions in Here....why to mention specific names???
"Things I like are no longer getting sifted."
Welcome to videocult, we'll post anything you like...
I left the Sift. Got lunch and came back.
^ Did you remember my falafel?
the. sites. are. different.
there's room on the internet for more than one site with "video" in the URL i guess. you can even visit more than one in the same day and have many logins at different places! *shock
does anyone visit the sift "full time" anyway? personally i like to eat and sometimes wash.
We'll be seeing you, randomize. Good luck in your travels.
For the record, I don't know why randomize declares LadyDeath and Zonbie to be "the beginning of the Death of the Sift" unless maybe he's making an ill-conceived pun, but those two are a couple of the greatest members/contributors around and such a comment is completely unjustified as far as I'm concerned (especially since he apparently refuses to elaborate).
I hadn't heard of videocult, but geebus, just went there and what an ugly site.
You won't find me over there... urgh.
Grow up, move on, to both him and the rest of the members in videosift.
Everyone just being either sensitive or too nice. Thousands of visitors come and go in Videosift or go inactive. But they don't go about announcing such mundane thing and create a stir.
Normally randomize is pleasant. But I did notice that some of his comments that he gave for his downvoting habits were unreasonable and bit stubborn.
And fellow videosifters here are making big deal out of absolutely nothing. If he's leaving, then he's leaving. His complaints are to his own, which all aren't that big of a problem, and already have solutions to.
BOTTOM LINE: If he doesn't want to make the effort to customize his settings, boo hoo. Cut the umbilical cord, Ma.
Amateur. I've built a machine that bathes my stinky areas and feeds me intravenously, then empties my colostomy bag. I'm not going to miss a single meme ever again! LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
