Well he linked to the dupe that was killed

Still quite cool though.

Oh bummer, you're right! We need to have an auto-redirect on dupeofed posts.

That's still awesome though!

Made it so when a dupeof'd video detail page is loaded you are redirected to the live video instead.

Woo! I'm famous.... sort of.

Thanks for the heads up Dag.

So I guess that means Dave Barry watches the sift?

Oh, and great endorsement for the site too!

That's nice Lucky, but what if we need to look at the killed video? I can see someone wanting to see the comment thread or to verify that was duped correctly... Also I'd like to see a siftbot comment left in the original video documenting the dupeof so that we have a proper trail and have knowledge of the event.

I see where you're coming from. But a duped video, once the invocation is done is not reversible anyway. It's singular, final act. Maybe if there was a link in the original video - and on selecting that link it brought up the old post without it doing the redirect.

Edit: Oh I see that's what Lucky has done. Telepathic brainwaves from Australia to California move at the speed of light.

Dammit dammit dammit. Duckman only scooped me by a few hours!

PS: I think "A Slip-n-Slide Made Out of Asians" is a funnier title. Feel free to use it.

Was thinking about plagiarizing it, but didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Too late to change it now, it's sifted. If I didn't have a thing for Asian girls, I never would have posted it in the first place.
