NVOtB suggestion

[Scintilla]

Could we possibly change a video's chance of making New Vid On the Block from being a function of date entered and date uploaded to being a function of date AVAILABLE and date uploaded? I'd think that would be fairer.

It's actually sorted by date_premiered and then by date_entered if there are multiple videos with the same premiere dates. If a video premiered in the past, it isn't really a "new vid" anymore, even if it were uploaded today.

But doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of new vid on the block? I mean, I would think people want to see what vids are *new to the site*, and wouldn't really care if it's premiered at a con the previous day.

I've been kinda wondering about this myself O.o

I gotta wonder, how often does anyone actually download something just because they saw it in NVOtB anyway?

I tried twice. Once I found a video that actually was a beta and another time a found a video that had not orgable content.
Seems like people doesn't really read the entry and the upload rules. >_>"

I dl a lot from that list (as donators get more than one) but usually only if it catches my interest

i also notice that if i get nvotb that i get more hits/downloads than if i dont

I tried to download a video I saw on NVotB called "Imaginary Friends Forever" based purely on the title.

Unfortunately it was actually two videos: "Imaginary" and "Friends Forever".

Yea, it's really annoying that there is little visual information to differentiate between the titles of different vidz on the block.

I've actually taken up a habit of DLing those videos. Most of the time I come across videos from editors new to the Org. Generally, they're usually not amazing, but it's how I find newer editors that may have potential. I watch their video, leave a quick comment with some feedback and invite them to come the forums for more feedback on their video. Most of the time, I do end up seeing them make an announcement thread. It's a good way to get new people to become active.

But generally, I just recently started doing this. I've been on this site for years and havent paid much attention to the NVOtB and am not sure if others do either. However, since I became a donator, I havent done it at all. The NVOtB is just too cluttered . At least put spaces in between the individual videos. Spaces with bullets to the left of the title would be really nice.

actually with the new streaming thing I'm more than likely to watch a nvotb than dl it
