Embedding Videos?

First of, sorry for posting so many whiny complaints...

Second, I went searching on how to embed videos into the forum, and it says it isn't possible, but I could have sworn I have done this before. Can someone shed some light on this situation?

There is a Youtube mode that makes it possible to post Youtube videos if the admins are willing to install it.

And if it's been done before but can't be done now, that would mean it was already installed and was uninstalled, probably with a good reason.

No, not the embedded videos!

Stress the servers, and the forum is going to be spammed down with CHECK THIS OUT OMG videos.

No thank you, lets try to keep a standard here.

We had a hack that we used but it was stressing the servers so was removed in the optimisation.

Ah. Could have sworn we could do it before. Thanks for shedding some light DD.

And yes, I couldn't image all those "OMG CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO" threads...

I guess.

That was a hack? aww, it was a cool hack. Probably, though, strained the server from all those people posting giant threads worth of videos, and putting them in their siggys. Oh well

I'll install it again if you guys like. How often are YouTube videos posted anywho? I'd only really think it would be a good idea to install it if there are tons of videos posted.

Just make a new rule of singular threads based on one awesome video.

That way we would end up with like 15 threads for 15 videos and cause people to spam videos just for sake of 1 more post and thread.

Who would go through the hassle of that?

1 video per thread is a great idea.

You obviously have no idea.
A handful of people here, given the opportunity, are likely to plague the site with stupid and useless posts about stupid and useless videos, each with their own thread because the same handful of people feel that each is deserving of its own thread, possibly with the thought that each is worthy of its own discussion.

Personally, I like the way it is now.
