You make a good point. I feel the video clips on offer at the website (most of which come from megaupload or other file hosting websites). Generally are pretty reliable. The issue is finding them!
Theoretically:
I feel there could be a way to actually structure the distribution of the clips available from file-hosted sites .
For example a website wouldn't need to host the clip itself just provide a search bases to track down a file-hosted clip or video. I know the forum already provide this, however I'm talking about expanding this idea.
There could then provide a way to put tags in each post in order for the system to use this information in a "related videos" section of the website which could list say 20 links which are similar in description when posted.
We have elements of this in our forum however so maybe I'm being too much of a perfectionist. I do also apologize if i sound a bit pushy XD.
I also acknowledge that this being a forum everything is posted in to a category, this means there is less of a need for say a "Related link section". However I must confess that finding these topics are hard to find and there are a lot of duplicated threads (this can't really be stopped even with the best mods in the world).
The point
Ill get down to the point.
1. putting "tags" in each new post containing a link to a video
2. Creating a "related link" section.
What do you think of this idea? I might be missing something fundamental, for that i apologize. I am also aware that doing this may not actually be possible anyways
.
I also apologize that this topic is probably out of place in the forum. I guess it has turned in to more of a theoretical suggestion now :S.
