Live Action Videos [Hear me out please]

[BasharOfTheAges]

Connecticon also has a "Fan-made Music Videos" contest that allows almost any source.

Conneticon is also a officially a multi-fandom convention as of last year IIRC.

Youmacon allows any kind of Music Video (though MV is not implicit either) in it's contest. It also has a Video/Audio Track department and dedicated room that showcases all kinds of fan videos.

This thread is very educational. For those who didn't know where to send non-anime videos before, now we do!

You know, this whole thing boils down to this:

Will it hurt the org to have this? No.

Will it help the org to have this? Maybe, maybe not.

If we try it and it doesn't work, can it be easily removed? Yes.

Lets quit all this bullshit arguing and create the stupid forum. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, delete it and move on. Jesus Christ on a dildo, sometimes the org argues about the dumbest shit.

No.

No. People will bitch at us forever about it. It's easy to give extras people desire, but hard to remove them. Better to just deny them.

So yes, stop the bitching about the LAMV forum.

So yes, stop the bitching about the LAMV forum.

How about a compromise?

Instead of a new forum, how about you allow us to annouce "Other" videos in the annoucements forum bythemselves, but require there to be only one thread per person, and they can update that one thread with new videos each time, and only allow it to be updated once a month with all their new videos? For people who don't want to bother with the LAMV's or non anime videos, they can easily let the threads be igored, or could perhaps have a subforum in the annoucements forum where people can announce them, but put the extra restrictions I mentioned above. To me, this provides an equal balance of the focus to be mainly on AMV's, but allow those who wish to dabble in other areas to also see/critique their work as well. [And if doing all that or monitoring all that is too much work for the current mods, I'd be happy to regulate it, or I'm sure other members in this thread would take up the torch for it].

If that's too steep for ya, then just let us annouce them with our regular AMV's and get their opinions there in the thread with their other things? Ohwait... We're already doing it that way. :O

No way.

Will it help the org to have this?

Definitely, 100%

If we try it and it doesn't work, can it be easily removed?

Yes it can, but there's no way it wouldn't work. there are absolutely no downsides to having a lamv subforum and there are literally a gajillion upsides. The sky will rain money and all forms of suffering in the world will be abolished.

So yes, let's make this subforum.

hey, look, i can do that too

[CodeZTM]

Or hell, how about just a sticky topic in the annoucements forum?

[mirkosp]

Btw, as Ileia was asking me about it on IRC, I should make clear that my previous post isn't to be taken as the whole administration position on this, but my view on it. I think at least some other mods have a somewhat similar view on it, but I should at least clarify that my no doesn't mean an official no...

Specify how, please?
