Some old news...reanimated.

There have been a few topics brought up about things to possibly improve the sift. I was curious if any of these topics are still being considered...

http://videosift.com/talk/Modifying-thumbnails-a-couple-of-suggestions - This suggestion is great as it is bothersome that you can't insert your thumbnail right away.

http://geek.videosift.com/talk/Inaccurate-submit-time-stamps-in-video-submissions - 5 minutes is precious! I've had videos sift with only 5 minutes left to go before ending up in my PQ.

http://videosift.com/talk/On-Charter-Memberships#comments - I'm broke and I love the sift. It would just be pure selfish fun if this happened.

http://videosift.com/talk/Enable-iFrame-embeds - I've found a few things I can't post because I can only find the embed in Iframe.

I thought it was worth going over these posts again, as they are all great suggestions and ideas.
Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"?

Um, yeah, only it's not like that at all, in this case. Good websites are always evolving. Imagine what the internet would look like if every website looked/acted exactly as it was when it was first put online.

Think of it as you built a huge LEGO brand castle with all the stuff on. Then someone say, Hey, you used the wrong bricks for the windows...

Is Videosift a finished "project" that has been completed and is now only on display?

I thought websites evolved, especially one with such active forum members as this. The sift has as always seemed to welcome feedback about improvements. Your downvote really surprises me.
Why did you not downvote each of these ideas as they were posted? Why do I get your downvote even though I simply reposted them?

So, by your thinking...ideas, improvements and upgrades are not to be discussed, tolerated or considered on Videosift...else you get a downvote for even suggesting (or reposting) such a thing?

As for your analogy of a Lego house it is a good one, but in a different way than you meant. Legos are designed to be taken apart, reconstructed, changed, or improved. That's what you as the builder are there to do, or you wouldn't have bought a Lego house in the first place. No Lego house stays in the one design you started with (much like websites, phones, computer games, etc.) or it would be pretty boring, static and unproductive.

As an unemployed engineer, did you feel you completed everything with such perfection that improvements are never needed and therefore suggestions should be hated?

I'm sure Steve Jobs would love to hire you, as he must be exhausted with all of his needless upgrading and improving by now.

As a unemployed engineer, i hate adding features at the end of a project. Consider this a downvote.
