First of all I'd like to thank Dokidoki AGAIN, I think this is overall a GREAT idea, but.??
Ya know let me get my word of doomsayer in: I can see this further spuring on the malcontent that is ruining the org. I mean it's brad enough that announcement threads are littered with cliques. it used to be (WAAAY back when now, even before local hosting) ANY announced vid with a link was worthy of a watch. Than came local hosting, a good idea, but to find GOOD announced vids it became a search for two page announcement threads, now three because of all the cliques. Studios are NOTORIOUS for traveling together, then there's simple groups of friends. You know that when a Journal Junkie posts a decent video, all the rest of the JJs will be there (including myself ^?^ so I'm not proposing a solution), if it's a European amver you can bet 80% of the thread will be europeans. I mean sure, it's cuz they headed it off at amvs.nl or whatever or maybe they're just friends! But c'mon ppl have some judgement.??
Then there's the other malcontent. First we get the op exchange forum. Good idea! ??? but there went random ops. Variety is the spice of life people! Sure the recomendations forum does a decent job to overcome that, but. It's almost to the point where the USED-TO-BE common line, 'your opinions are appreciated' that USED to be found in every announced video has become largely UN-common. Cuz ppl know that nobodys gonna op your vids unless you do an op exchange or otherwise pimp it all to hell. When did the org become Wall Street MAX?? I'd gotten ONE random op in close to FOUR YEARS, one op where I do not know the person.
And than we get to QCs. 'You've got flamers!<3' I never liked this idea. Doesn't make much sense to me.
So for this latest 'bit of synthetic euphoria' I say 'I already download everybody's video, what the heck am I gonna use it for??' All it will do is make it so rather than extinguishing random ops we extinguish random downloads as well!<3 Cuz after all, why even check the announcement threads when we've got all our friends tagged anyway.
(btw you wanna help out? make it so these long posts don't time you out.?? freeking annoying. Long journals too.)
