    Oops sorry.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    A blue-sky idea; a bit of code so that when a user posts a youtube vid, the upload box locks in place for 60 seconds or so, and displays an "upload in progress" status message, even though that's not really true. That would make the process less attractive for posters, as it would take 60 seconds of waiting to post. There'd be ways around it of course, just text linking, etc, but it's an idea.

    I'm another one who agrees with Mr Merde. I'm on dial up at home, so You Tube isn't practical, and we can't access it at work. On dial up it takes time to even open a post, then click the back button also is quite slow. So these You Tube posts are a waste of time in the truest sense.

    Steam,

    I like the cut of your cloth.

    An original idea. One I didnt even ponder.

    I cannot view these things anyway , so I am all in favour of having them parked somewhere. We have "Jokes and Humour", howabout a sister forum under Off Topic, of "Videos".

    That's nothing you should see how well he dresses his bike!
    And may I add as a shining example of proper use that Steam correctly placed a youtube link recently . In the right thread, in the right section that related to the subject and involved KiwiBikers. Yeah, yeah I have a vested interest in that post but it was totally relevant to this site and it's members. No Hungarians, Slovaks, Mogolians or those people with horrible Yankie accents were in the clip.

    I agree. In the right thread and in context they can and are a great addition to any discussion. When posted for their own sake and with little or no relevance I personally dont like them and as I stated in my initial post , tend to ignore them usually.

    In addition to last night's inebriated battle call I would point out that some of us use the RSS feed which has no mouseover preview therefore gives no warning.

    If you don't know what RSS is then download a real browser and find out. Its awesome.

    Yup, even I agree.

    There's too much regurgitated you tube shit being linked on this site.

    It distracts people from the important topical matters like

    -All pigs are rapists
    -Speeding and Runners are cool
    -Mods are cunts
    -Scooters and hondas are for homosexuals (and midgets)
    -I own the slow group.
    -White Trash and Cowpoos are gay lovers. Riff Raff holds the camera.

    I have no problem with vids created by the members. I have no problem with vids at all.

    I just raised this thread as there seems to be a definite trend towards trawlling the vid sites and posting them.

    At one stage last night after posting this thread I was refreshing the New Posts and there were 6-7 threads on the first pade with You Tube vids in them.

    I have enjoyed a lot of these items but it now seems to be the norm to post a vid.

    Is it a case of

    "Monkey see, monkey do"?

    It feels like it sometimes.
