- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.

  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Moving this video to ponceleon's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I am not too proud to admit that I was actually an aol member about twenty years ago. My mom sent me the installation kit on 3.5" floppies, and I connected using the 9600 baud modem which came with my Quantex 486 (which cost three thousand dollars at the time...) Aol used to charge by the hour back then, and one month my bill was larger than my car payment.

Then came the shareware version of DOOM.

It's all been downhill since.

Man, those AOL days feel so long ago! Or is it just me?

I had to use AOL at work for testing.
