| Should we let vidders enter a second link when submitting? |
| Hell yes! Make it mandatory! I hate being stuck with only one hosting site to watch from. |

| I'd use it because I like having alternate links to my vids, but I don't think anyone else would. |

| So... if we put up a field that lets you add a second link to your video as backup or whatever, would you use it? |

| Dunno about everyone else, but I'd definetly use it. I usually make two links for my vids anyway, but they just don't end up in the LVI Bot's post. |

I think it would be a really good idea. I always have two or three links to my videos anyway, so that would help a lot.  |

| I like the idea of that. On some peoples videos it takes AGES to 'Buffer' or load. So having two links would be easier so you can just click the other one incase one of them is taking ages. |

Here's my 2 cents. I haven't submitted a vid since this went into effect until now and I have to say that I don't love it, lol. I know my site gets screwy sometimes, but the reason I have my own server is so I don't have to mess around with these free things. It's a good idea, but my opinion is that it should be optional for a 2nd link. That being said, you know what opinions are like!  |

Oops, forgot to tell you guys  lol. Okay, I implemented it, with the second link option (which I decided before Uruviel, because I knew you wouldn't like that ) BUT I didn't advertise that very well so hopefully all the newbies that come in will assume it's mandatory and use both for their vids, while the minority of people who have their own server will quickly learn they don't have to enter both links, and thus will only enter one. heh.
Thanks for all the input btw, that helps a lot. I hope I didn't make this thing too complicated (*sees lookimg "NO MORE!!!" vote*) |

LOL
NOW you tell us, Warren!! Very sneaky! But good idea for the newbies to think they have to do it.
Off topic, but could you let me know if my vids went through?? |

I'd appreciate it. There are many vids I'd like to download and save on my computer, but most people seem to be using Youtube now and I'm kinda tired of always asking them for a download link  |

I hate Putfile because of that. It takes longer than YouTube or Rapidshare does, and its not even that good! Some times I dont know why I host my vids on there.. *sigh* |
