Due to some idiots from another site/forum our videos are being 'deleted'. All we can tell it is because we are becoming a popular site and they obviously have issues with this and are going to the lowest possible level and removing the videos.

The lame thing is, that

a. They don't own the videos anyway
b. We got a 5Mb/s upload speed, uploading a 70mb takes all of 90seconds ....
c. Its just sad, many people can't view the videos as they live overseas.

Despite the upload speed, neither myself or Emily want to keep reuploading videos week in week out. So we will probably have to rejig the media area accordingly.

The stupid thing is we know who is doing this, but I don't want to name them in public, but its really very pity and sad. I feel for our visitors who obviously want to download the videos to view them, I already have the videos so its not really affecting me if this is indeed an attempt on a personal attack on me.

For now the videos will stay offline until we work out our new media download section. I know people here also know who is doing this, if so have a word in their ear and tell them to stop being so stupid.

If this continues to happen we might have to change the format of our videos, maybe to divx, that way we will only be uploading 30-40mb videos instead of 80mb videos, as we want to be able to share the videos with everyone just we won't keep uploading them.

I am in the process of reuploading temporary links to sendspace for the videos that were deleted, until we can figure out what to do with the media area and how to solve this problem of others deliberately deleting videos for no reason. Over half are done already and the rest should be done shortly.

edit all videos have at least one working link now :D

Thank you for all your hard work.

its all pretty much worked out. As the mpgs on the site get deleted they will be replaced with hq divx , and the mpgs that used to be on the site will now be on this forum in the media area. Details for the media area are in this thread. we have also changed upload sites to sendspace and quickdump as its much harder to have sendspace links and quickdump links deleted.
