My purpose in writing is not the bash the Sift community, but rather simply because I want to be a significant part of it. However, I am having trouble attaining this goal, and it is due to a problem in the community that I have not been able to overcome. In two of the last three videos I posted, I received 4 votes on 4 and 5 unique views...fair enough, one of them is mine, but 3/3 and 3/4 is not bad! These videos, which I only wish to share, then get pqueued simply because they do not get enough exposure. Then, without any power points, I cannot beg or promote or get them any attention! And for those of us who do not know numerous people on the sift that we can redirect to our videos, we have no support base from which to draw the prerequisite votes needed to get our stuff recognized.

So my plea is this: please remember, a pr0bie or a n00b is not just for Christmas, unless they only get interested during their Christmas vacation and then forget to return to that "Videostuff...or something like that" site that they saw once a long time ago. Please help out your neighborhood unstarred members - I promise in exchange to only attempt to sift stuff that I think is really really really worthwhile...which, let's be honest, is all I do anyway.
