About
- 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.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list. If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  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.

jonny cannot promote this post because jonny does not have enough Power Points - ignoring promote request by jonny. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

you stupid fucking bot - you took my point from the first one and ignored it!

a little help here, @dag or @lucky760

Gave it back.

Sorry, been in sifting mode today and discarded this to open up a slot, as it hadn't gotten that many votes.

*promote back into queue!

@lucky760 .. it took my points, but it's still discarded .. heeelp?

It seems there's something broken with promoting discarded videos. I'll try to look at it soon, but for now I manually resurrected back into the queue and returned your Power Points, so you can self-promote again if you'd like.

Thank you so much @lucky760!
And here goes another *promote

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, May 18th, 2012 2:30pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter seltar.
