The Dagfather gets his Silver Diamond, suspects Barzini

Photobucket


Yes, it's true, brothers and sisters: At long last the don of VideoSift himself has gotten his silver diamond. Member numero uno. Can you believe it? That it took him so long, I mean? Seriously, how cool is that? Think of how great the house that dag built is. Think of all the great videos you've seen here. Think of all the great comments you've read here. Think of how many great people you've met here. Then think about the man who dreamed it up while he was between jobs. Totally awesome.

Thanks for making this place, dag. There are a lot of people who've left their mark on this place, that's for certain. But there's only one person who's left a place to mark called VideoSift. So good on you, mon ami.

Also, I've had a lot of fun photoshopping dag since I've been here, so here are a few more pics. Feel free to link to any photoshops you've made of him too. Let's make it a party.

Crosswords says...

Congratulations Dag, and thanks for having the vision and follow through to create such an awesome site. I think its safe to call you an internet Mogul now, take that for what it's worth.

Dag, you're like one of the dads that my mom never married. Thanks for making me unsure about my own sexuality. By the way, you should always keep the beard. It's the way men say "I'm sexy now go wash the dishes"

Dag, you've come a long way since I served with you back in 'Nam. The things you did were horrific, but I'll stand by my promise to never tell anyone. I'll just say I'm glad you found a different use for a certain kitchen utensil and people.

Also, your hair looks nice today.

Dag, your egalitarian site of video polling is a great spectacle to see and enjoy. You should be very proud. I raise my glass in a toast to creator and visionary behind the best site on the interwebs.

Here, here!

Now, allow me to take my lips off your ass.

moodonia says...

Congratulations Dag!
You've allowed me to scrap a bunch of addictions and substitute for them all with one big one! Who'd have guessed democracy and cat videos could be such a winning combination!

Thanks Dag!

Zonbie says...

Bloody Hell! What took you?! It's your bloody site! Set an example! Slowcoach!

Some people....

Oh, and a big fat congrats! On ya big shiny diamond! Well done!

Ornthoron says...

Dag is a prime example of the concept "first among equals", thanks to his visionary idea of the best user-moderated admin system on the web on this the best website in the universe. That vision has suffered some blows, which has triggered the disillusioned dictator we have today, but he seems to be on a speedy recovery on his way towards VS4.

Congratulations, and know that we not only appreciate what we have been served so far, but support you in making it ever better.

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Wow, this is all so completely unexpected.

[pulls speech from tux]

Thanks KP and everyone for the lovely pictures. I haven’t actually worn a tux since my prom. It had a plum cumberbun and matched my girlfriend’s hand sewn dress. (Theme: Heaven. Theme song: Bryan Adams –Heaven)

That reminds me, A few weeks before the prom we went out and “parked” at Lion’s Park behind the loop road (you know the place) and cops came and shone flashlights on us until we dressed and drove away.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes – the prom. We didn’t rent a limo, I drove my 1984 clapped out Ford Tempo. It was a pretty sweet ride – but looked out of place pulling up into the hotel where the dance was actually held. The valet kind of sneered at me as he took the keys. I don’t remember much about the rest of the night …

All those moments – not that they were great moments - are gone. But at least every single thing I’ve ever said on VideoSift is here forever. (you were wondering how I’d bring it around, right? Bam! Toastmasters, baby!) Outside of my fab family – videosift is my raison d'être, and I vow to you that it will never die. (unless we run out of money)

So thanks to everyone who continues to make this community flourish, grow and feed my enormous ego. Thanks also to my compatriot Lucky and my tolerant family.

All Heil Siftler! Congrats on finally getting around to sifting yourself up to silver diamond status, noob.

You're much appreciated, and love the way you've tended and shaped this community as its grown and evolved. I doubt it would've become as friendly and fun a place as it is without you.

Enjoy all those new powers a silver diamond conveys, and try not to let it go to your head. *cough*

PS: Love the hat.

kulpims says...

just so you know - i went and upvoted everybody's comments upon receiving one power point for my two-words contribution in praise of our glorious leader dagicus of siftlandia: "congrats, boss". anyway, I used it to do some good

sallyjune says...

Congratulations. Perhaps some money for your site as soon as we see some housework and "fatherly love" for the children you so dearly depend upon while allowing them to finger paint on the walls of the temple!

peggedbea says...

so, last night during a glorious nap, i had dream involving dag. dont worry, it wasnt the sexy kind of dream. but for some reason we were in my dads digusting kitchen trying to figure out how to forge good credit scores so we could get funding for something magnificent contraption that has yet to be invented. i dont know what that contraption was, but im assuming its brilliant if we were willing to commit fraud while standing in my fathers disgusting cat shit smelling house.

my brain is a glorious mystery.

oh and congratulations jerk. and i will never commit acts of fraud with you. ok well, i might, but im not going back to my dads house to do it.

therealblankman says...

Longest congratulatory comment thread ever? Well deserved. For myself, as for many of us here, this is the only community on the intarweb where I invest my time and love. All thanks to our glourious basterd leader. Thanks Dag, and good on ya'.
