The Dagfather gets his Silver Diamond, suspects Barzini
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.

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"
Congratulations, Dag! Don't let the diamond powers go to your head.
And +1 thanks for creating such an amazing site!
congrats, boss
Big ups, creator of Messiah that is Siftbot and heaven-on-earth that is VideoSift. God's got nothing on you.

The man is a Jedi. One time, I literally saw him rip the progress bar from a video on the screen with his bare hands! One minute it was there, and then...pfft!
The Force is strong with this one.

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.
Congrats!
Confobulations! I think I'll go and amazon-tag some videos for your honour.

Here´s my contribution from way back:
MOUNT DAGMORE
Videosift diamonds are forever
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.
*kisses new silver diamond ring*
^That's fun, considering what kind of ring it is...
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!
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!
^gwiz, I'll stick with the Godfather interpretation.
woowoooooooooooo
All hail our glorious leader!
He walks among us, but is not one of us...just like Jesus, but less preachy
Congrats on the silver diamond, well deserved.
Congrats, and thanks for all the site!
YOU SHOULD GET A POWERCHAIR!
I don't know where that came from... congrats.
Congratulations! And i'm STILL working on gold! bah.
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.
Congrats Dag! That's great news...:D
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.
^Who's that guy?
Keep up the good work, maybe someday you might get to run this place!
Congratulation Dag! And thanks so much for the site. It's greatly appreciated.
Congrats on the Silver Diamond. Here's to another 500!
There is no Sifta Nostra. It's strictly legitimate. >.> <.< >.>
Grats Do-- ... Dag.

Look what we have here! Hmm.... Congratulations dag.
Okay back to bitching about the site everyone...
Yes.
Meritocracy or plutocracy, I'll never be able to leave this place, and it's all Dag's fault .
Hey! Congratulations! Con! Grat! U! La! Tions!
Thank you for everything Dag!
MROWWWWOWOWOWOW! Yay Dag, our sole creator and leader of Siftizens! We are very very happy for you.
Congratulations, Dag. I wish they'd let you run the whole internet.
Condagulations, you glorious bastard!
Congrats Dag!
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.
Praise to one of the movers and shakers of teh internetz. Dag yo.
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
No power scooter?
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!
What I never see your posting videos here ha ha ha just kidding,congrats Mr Dag and Thank you for your awesome work in this website.
Isn't this a little like congratulating Bill Gates for becoming Windows Certified?
You should have your silver diamond bronzed to always remember this day!
Congrats Dag!
http://www.freelang.net/expressions/congratulations.php
This is one of my most very favorite sites on the internet. I'm so grateful for videosift, and for the wide variety of people who inhabit it.
Congrats, and thanks Dag!
Grats!
Dang I always notice these too late to nab some power points
Its just a cover. Even Stalin fancied giving himself legitimate "ranks" sometimes.
Congrats, sir.
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.
You sir, should be able to sit back in a recliner everyday of your life with a satisfied grin on your face, as if you are receiving a perpetual blowjob, for your accomplishments here.
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'.
awesome dagilicious!congrats,and thanks for creatin the only site i feel compelled to check everyday.
my pappy said never trust anyone over a pink diamond!
