So many videos just don't even try anymore with their blatant overuse of them that it becomes just a garbled mess of imagery layered on top of each other. I'm not saying that my video is anywhere near perfect, but its a start.

I appreciate that they come out to leave a comment (or rather I force them with bribes.. of sandwiches?) and that kinda snowballs into others leaving a comment too, I think. It's had its consequences for sure as I've been hated on nearly as much, but its ok.
Thanks all for the comments.

That's all there is to it. When a friend of yours sends you an IM and says "hey I finished my video here's the link to the forum post," you're probably gonna go and post in it. That. Is. It. If you feel more comfortable using the term "clique" or "circle," whatever. But the vast majority of us are good people who enjoy good AMV's regardless of who makes them.
That being said, yeah, I agree that if this hadn't been Jay's video, the likelihood that the thread would've grown this big so fast is quite low, and I'm sure Jay understands that. But again, people know him, and thusly it's bound to draw an audience. It doesn't mean that videos that don't get 6 pages of replies within a day suck or are any less deserving. It's just the nature of the beast.

A fade can be used to ease and release the tension, but, while there was a few, it just felt like a couple extra here and there would ease things up.
