3 weeks 2 days ago • 137 viewsI'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!

3 months ago • 394 viewsI 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?

5 months 1 week ago • 594 viewsI 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

6 months 3 weeks ago • 438 viewsHi 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.

7 months ago • 535 viewsIs 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.

8 months ago • 919 views 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.

8 months 3 weeks ago • 208 viewsI 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?

9 months 3 weeks ago • 1197 viewsSo 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.

10 months 3 weeks ago • 425 viewsWhat do we want our rules to do concerning dupes of something that is blocked? This post was prompted by the possible dupe here: http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Simpsons-Straight-to-Donut-Hell of http://www.videosift.com/video/Homer-in-Hells-Ironic-Punishment-Division I presume they are the same, but I can't know for sure, because I CAN'T SEE IT. What do we do? The optimal, from my point of view, is to make, or rather have lucky make, an alternate source tab or something for each video, so people who are blocked can choose feed B instead of the blocked one. I don't know how much work this would entail, but I doubt it'll happen fast.

1 year 1 month ago • 1037 viewsSo I bought a shirt online, and the company sent me a second one as a gift. This is what the second one has on it. I feel like this is a Warholesque rendition of a famous model/actress from the late 50s to the 60s. Who is she???  My guesses are Linda Harrison, possibly Raquel Welch or maybe Diana Riggs. Does anybody know?

1 year 2 months ago • 2316 viewsI guess this is a little bit more of a getting to know you thread. I'm still relatively new around here and although I have a lot of opinions on most of the people I see around, they're just that, opinions. Like has been pointed out to me time and time again, this place is something special. Of course we would say that cos we're a part of it, but fuck all that for a moment. Let me put it this way. We all bring something into the fold, we all have a certain je nes sais quoi, something that makes us that little bit different from the rest of the crowd. What I want to know is, what is it you think you bring to the table, what role do you play? We all know that in family terms Dag and Lucky are our godparents, Kronosposeidon and Swampgirl are Mum and Dad, Blankfist is the tolerated middle child and Schmawy is the lovable old Uncle. There's a few obvious ones for ya. But there are hundreds of us! Who are you, who can you relate to, how do you see other people here? This is your chance to big yourself up and at the same time let others know what you really think. Cos let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of that

1 year 2 months 2 weeks ago • 596 views Remember when I said that EDD was a Sift old-timer? Well let me tell you something: BoneyD is on a first name basis with Siftbot. That's how long he's been here. July 7, 2006 is when he joined. He love Sift LONG time. But he's more than just some antiquated skeleton in the Sift's closet. He's been regularly casting votes since he's been here. Almost 9000 votes, if you want to know. A vibrant democracy relies on regular participation, and Brother Boney is a prime example of that. Plus I'm a little partial to Mr. D, as I've seen his upvotes on a number of my videos. I'm guessing many of you have received a number of his votes over the past 2+ years too. He's also posted some great videos in his time here, and yet I must confess he's a bit of a mystery to me. I hope we learn more about him through this post, because at VideoSift no one is allowed secrets. It's just bad manners. So if you're a Panamanian drug lord, Boney, you can tell us. Just cut us in on the action and we'll be cool. So give it up for BoneyD, a dedicated member, and the Sift's best drug runner.

1 year 2 months 4 weeks ago • 705 viewsThis site outlines the problem, and one of the possible causes of the drastic decline in bee populations world wide. http://omega.twoday.net/stories/3545166/ This sort of news highlighting our incompatibility with nature really scares me, I feel helpless and that humankind is in trouble so deep it cannot help itself anymore. Does anyone here think humankind will give up cell phones and wifi anytime soon?

1 year 3 months 1 week ago • 3285 viewsI bet you all noticed this new fad; guys luring their better halves in joining the Sift, using them as meat-puppets. Granted, we've had celebrity couples here on VS before - most notable being issy+dft, persephone+dag and lucky760+siftbot. These poor buggers were recently joined by zonbie, who brought us ladydeath, and obsidianfire with karkarlee. let's not forget schmawy who's trying to convince us he's not gay after all and is now running a fake account under alias vinovin.
did I forget anyone? let's hear it from all the ♥couples♥ out there

1 year 3 months 1 week ago • 393 viewsI believe there will be a time when the number of active sifters will make it so that democracy on this site will be impossible. This ship will one day be steered by popularity and not righteousness. All good things must come to an end. What will you do when that happens?
