I think we should have a place on spotm that is for pure video posting, not random fun videos but discussions in video form.
Say i make a thread about strawberries in there, the post would not be text, but a video of me showing you a strawberry and telling you what i think about it. Then the next person who posts below me would have no text but just a video of him talking about strawberries. ofc there would be debates about much more serious stuff, but i think you get my idea. one thing is that i dont know how active it will be, probably the least active one on the forum, but probably he best one for debates.
Would this like drain the forum of power or something, like the videos taking up too much place or something ( yes im a n00b lol) We could link to the them if thats a problem though.

Cam and Jon tried it once, but I guess they got tired of it.

I don't think it's necessary to make an entire place just for videos, but I liked what Cameron had done about opening up the forum to video posts. I think you should just try to bring that back. If we created an entire section for it, the section would be too chaotic, and it would be unnecessarily isolated from the rest of the forum.

I always thought a well-moderated subsection for the debate section would be nice, where people can post video-only debates. It would be interesting to see something like this. It is interesting to watch people debate on video, and I feel that youtube's layout sucks for that kind of thing. Having a debate in topic form would be nice.
A video debate section would help the replies for Dan's videos be more organized (which would help him in dealing with replies, afaik he had asked for help dealing with replies before).

You could always make a thread for that, and if it works out, you might be able to spread it, and it may soon have it's own area.

We did try this but it didn't have enough community support...
But perhaps there will be support now. I will make a general discussion thread for videos only. Lets see how it turns out! I will post a link here when it is done

I like The Islanders idea. I don't think video discussion is gonna catch if its amongst all the text chat. And probably not if its just discussion about random stuff. The debates thing sound like it could work well. Although there may be a lot of the same threads in the debates section and the subsection, only one in text and one in videos..
Either way, IfEweWantBlood, I await your strawberry video with great anticipation.
