Is My Profile Black & Blue or Black & Green?

I've been having this problem where sometimes my profile appears black & green (how I want it) and sometimes it's black & blue (how blankfist wants his anus). I'm trying to figure out what is triggering the change back and forth. I've tried opening it up in different browsers, re-changing the colors, hell I even tried messing with my playlists.

If you could help figure this phenomenon out for me I would greatly appreciate it. What I'm thinking is that there's some sort of cache of my settings that's hooked up to my pqueue. If you could do me the favor of upvoting some videos in the pqueue and see if that doesn't solidify the colors I've chosen for my settings. At least maybe we can find a pattern. It might take more than a couple of people to upvote a couple of videos, but together we can do this!

I have been thinking of this long and hard. Since my last post Atheism WTF? To me many things were put into perspective for me though didn't change that i believe in something that can't be expained but i have another question regarding the fake man in the sky. For all those that believe that God could be nothing but a figment of your imagination or an illusion of humanity. Then how do you explain Love? Is love nothing more the eating alot of chocolate or a chemical imbalance in the brain? We all know love unless you are a mass murder or sociopathy. I would figure that most of you have family or wife/husband and they love you if this is so then why or how? Why does Love even exist?

Is it me or did the Sift just change?

Dark Dirty Sift Secret...

I know I shouldn't do this at all...and I definitely know I shouldn't be talking about it but here I go anyway, maybe there's some others that are with me on this.

So sometimes when I come across a video that I love, but no longer has my vote because of the siftpocalypse, I vote it up again even when I know I voted for it once already. It's like for all those times I wish I could upvote a video twice, I now can. Who else is being naughty?

I forget if I voted for a video...especially good ones

Bug with Avatars for Reincarnated Accounts??

Hi Sifties,

I'm having trouble with my avatar ever since my account was reincarnated after the Videosift Apocalypse.

At first my account showed no avatar... fair enough.

I went to upload a new picture, but when I hit "save changes" and then went back to the "Profile Settings" page, my OLD avatar was sitting there. Werid right? Well...

I then clicked on my "Main-Profile Page", it showed my new avatar, but clipped incorrectly. I tried resizing it, but every time I upload a pic, the profile-settings page shows my old avatar while my user-page shows the new photo but clipped incorrectly.

After uploading, if I go back to my User-page, and then back to the profile-settings page, it shows my NEW avatar, but clipped incorrectly.

If I select 'delete avatar', and upload a new photo, the same thing happens.

It seems a reference to my old avatar IS sitting in Siftbot's gears somewhere, and perhaps it's using the size of that image to clip my new image?

Not a big deal, but it seems wonky at the very least, and at worst, Siftbot is storing extra avatars unnecessarily.

People with middle name initials that spell A.C.E.

Is it just me or do I see a lot of people with middle names spelling A.C.E.? I especially notice it on movie credits. I assume this is intentional to show how ace someone is, though I couldn't google anything on the practice.

Sure, 10 star points isn't much (kronosposeidon gets more in an hour, which he then sells on the black market for money to buy drugs), but mr. edeot has raised more of a ruckus in 6 days than Angelina Jolie has raised kids. (That's a lot of ruckus)

Congratulations.

Please no games, jokes or horseplay in the comments. This ℜ serious thread.

I think there is something wrong with the Unsifted section

I posted a video and it starts out at the bottom of the second page of the unsifted list. This can't be right? There were many other videos which had been there longer and had a worse votes to view ratio. I've noticed the Unsifted videos section behaving strangely many times before.
Is it just me? Or is something not quite right?

I see that he has been discarding some of his Sifts. Why, what's wrong with them?

Is there drama?

I got into a fight at Wal-Mart yesterday

So yesterday I go over to my friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart to stock up on some 12 gauge ammunition. Mind you, I'm not bothering anyone or even talking to anyone. I make my way over to sporting goods, and some dude with his girlfriend asks me if I want a good "$@# whooping" for "looking at his girl." I tell him no, I wasn't looking at your girl (she was average at best, extra 20 pounds is a big no-no for a woman), and he proceeds to call me a liar and get in my face.

At this point, I try to walk around him to get to the sporting goods counter, but he won't let me pass. Mind you, I'm much bigger than this kid, but he wants to impress his girlfriend, who by this time is pleading for him to stop antagonizing me.

Finally I can take his abuse no longer. I hit him with a left to the body, a short right to the chin, and then kick him while he's on the ground. Security gets involved, and a crowd gathers. Kind of reminded me of this: http://www.videosift.com/video/Wal-Mart-employee-trampled-to-death

Long story short, I get off with a warning (security were gun enthusiasts like me), girlfriend goes home crying, and punk kid goes to hospital. I guess his "Yes We Can" shirt didn't help him when push came to shove.
