Tactics to get the votes back as they were
Fortunately our community is not made up of robots but of people who have memories that are non-digital which can recollect which videos were voted on (when you weren't intoxicated or otherwise under the influence..). Playlists, comments and channels are also useful to find back the videos you up-/downvoted. We now also have more reason to check out favourite member profiles to access their libraries and upvote.
There are fortunately also automated vote-retrieval methods.
The auto self upvote for all pqed/sifted videos did safe some time (this included my self down votes (1, 2) but that's not a big deal:)) Members who used *promote/*save have all upvoted the video in question - could this be automated as well?
More ideas?

schmawyI'm ridin' that random button like a two dollar horse.
MINKwhat exactly is the point of "getting the votes back as they were"?
just asking.
RyjkyjPlaylists will help you find alot of those videos that you don't even remember.
schmawyAnd of course, all those bookmarks you made over the years.

jonnyOne of the first things I did was go through all the sifted videos in my channel. It was pretty easy to know which ones I did or didn't vote for, though I suppose that is easier when the channel only has about 110 videos. I doubt this would be efficient for really big channels like news, but for a lot of them, it should be pretty easy.
schmawyI thought about it for a while MINK, and at first I saw your point, it doesn't really matter. Then I thought about my (our) curatorial bent, our internet archivist tendancies. I delude myself into thinking that it'll be important to some sociologist in the distant future what we thought of all this. You could say every video is an opinion poll of a sort. Ultimately it's to ensure that history rightly understands that the internet was bunch of gleeful and mostly warm-hearted liberal perverts.

Eklekyes, the new random search is an interesting way as you'll also get a lot of unseen videos.
And indeed visiting a playlist will also help dig up old memories:)
The archivists among us cherish (nostalgic) records of their past (dis)likes and want to be able to retrieve their old taste or share this with others.
For research this crash is very interesting I think, it's a pity we can't fully compare the development (who voted when for which video) of votes since the beginning and since the crash (though there may be data that will be retrieved and "old" voting patterns will partly be restored by the members).
peggedbeai reread what i wrote and it makes no sense
basically blah to restoring all the votes back to normal. i just wanna watch good videos and read good threads. please quit sifting crap.
MINKYES YES YES BEA!!!!!!
