It's official there are monkeys running the support center of our service provider. I sent them the first e-mail well over 30 hours ago and still no response from them. I just got done sending them another e-mail trying to find out what the hell exactly happened so we can remedy the problem. Rest assured LVI is coming back even if I have to track down there damn corporate office and raise hell .

I think I have the April contest rules saved on my computer so I'll check and try and get it posted.

These places are notorious for not having phone numbers posted, do you think you can find one? Or are you just going to wait for the e-mail?

Wow I'm blind, I just looked at the site and they have one posted - maybe that's just for sales or something 1-888-511-HOST.

APRIL 2005

Contest: Island Tourism! Deadline: April 30th

The Details
To honor the fact that this month holds the only national “jokester” holiday and is the first full month of spring we’ve come up with a rather interesting contest.

The challenge is to create a tourism video to promote tourism to the island. This makes the island your main character in the video. Creativity will determine the ultimate winner of this contest. Make it funny, gruesome, dramatic, or just whatever you feel will sell the island in the most unique way possible.

Here are a few tips. This isn’t your typical music video so be creative. Using music isn’t a requirement (reference Enchirito’s “Out of Context” videos to see what we mean) but will probably help the mood of your video. Use title cards in your video (reference Pinched Circulation’s “Priceless Moment 1” video) to help in the promotion of island tourism. Imagine yourself viewing videos of islands to visit and imagine what would set your video apart from other island videos. Remember creativity is the most important thing in this contest.

Good Luck!



The Rules
All regular submission rules apply! If you are not familiar with these please see the Submit page for details. The following rules apply only for this contest.
-Running time must not exceed 2:00.
-The island MUST be the main focus.
-The subject of your submission email must be “April Tourism Video”. Also, please name your video file LVI_(your screen name). These just allow us to keep all the videos better organized.
-Your video must be sent to our contest submissions email, lvicontests@gmail.com, by the contest deadline. If you send your video to lostvideo@gmail.com it will not be entered in the contest.

we could try... switching to another server.... I'm sure there are many servers who would be happy to make the transfer, and probably already have "transfer from another domain" as one of the free features...

Just to give everyone an update. We're working on the problem but our service provider seems like they could care less. Right now we're contemplating a server move which would hopefully allow us to do away with torrents and the other crap we've been through with this service. As soon as we know for sure what we're going to do we'll let all of you know. Rest assured LVI is far from gone and we're doing everything within our combined power to get a solution found as quickly as we can.

In the mean time keep sending in your video submissions and contest submissions. The visual part of the site might be missing right now but LVI is still alive through these boards. Spread the link to the board so that people can at least still come here and enjoy some aspect of LVI till we can redemy the current situation.

I have another update to deliver to you guys. After days of trying we finally got a response from our server. Just like we thought it had to do with us running torrents. We're going to have to do away with those (I know to many of you that is a relief) and find a new solution to our bandwidth problem. Which could possible involve a move to a server that will allow us more bandwidth. But we'll be sure to keep you guys updated. The site should hopefully be back soon.
