Just checking that the goal is not to have a Sift Talk forum post for 12 months. I'm obviously onboard for it.

While I'm here, happy new year to anyone that see this, and quite a good one to anyone that doesn't. Either way, regardless of your level of happiness, I hope you have a great one.

Just wanted to drop a quick CONGRATULATIONS to @newtboy who just reached the much coveted Galaxy Level status on VideoSift!

This is a very difficult thing to achieve, and only a handful of members have done it. He's been a dedicated Sifter for many years, so it has been a long time coming.

👏

I'm out of them and can't submit new videos.

You guys aren't reading them.

For those are already in 2023. Not me! Let's hope 2023 will be better for everyone!

Anyone been playing Wordle, the daily word game? I've been playing a while and it inspired me to create another word game called Phrasle.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

@dag and @lucky760, maybe VS needs to learn how to submit these new short URLs?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon.

Also, happy new year! Let's hope 2022 will be better than the last two crappy years.

I copied and pasted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwPL0Md_QFQ's description in my submitted https://videosift.com/video/Lightyear-Teaser-Trailer. However, VS cropped off with the the first emoji.

Please, to any and all in the path of Ida, good luck to you and yours and hope you are safe.

Fix yo cert, Yo!

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon.

It finally reached our attention that siftbot's emails sent to Gmail addresses haven't been reaching their destination for a while! Google required that a change be made, and that's done so emails should be back in normal working order for @ mentions and similar activity-based notifications.

Apologies for anyone and everyone who has been hollering in comments at others but getting no response. 😢 (@eric3579, @ant, @newtboy, and everyone else)

In addition, I noticed that Sift Lounge has been broken, in that you could kind of load the page but never post any messages.

Just in case anyone decides to pop in, this has been fixed. And it now supports the modern emoji short tags as well. 👍

I'll probably be hanging out regularly now that it's working again, hoping to see other Sifters jumping back in there as well!

So, all the submitted LiveLeak videos are dead.

Asking for a friend.

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since @dag kicked off this whole VideoSift project.

We've come a long way, had some ups and some downs, and we're all much older and grayer than when we started, but I for one am happy that we're still here together, alive and kicking.

Happy birthday to PC World's Best Video Aggregator of 2007!
