Dont you find it sad that old AMV's just kind of "die"?

Dont you find it sad that old AMV's just kind of "die"?

Some AMV's transcend the form, but after a while, even the best AMV's just get old and won't be watched

I find this really sad.. At least with radio, you have DJ's who may hopefully choose to play a song, but AMV's just dont have
this kind of channel, especially because the whole thing exists in some nebulous grey legal ground.

When I think of an AMV like by Koop I can't help but feel what a tragedy that eventually this video just wont get watched,
and new eyes wont gaze upon it. Sometime last year, I brought a DVD-conversion of my favorite AMV's to a party, so we all drank alcohol
and chatted away with AMV's playing away in the background. I was very pleased

Does anyone else feel sad that AMV's evenutally die? :cry:

When the top 10% list's starting page was the all-time as opposed to the past 12 months, great videos didn't die. Now that it is buried, combined with the fact that people are to lazy to look further than whatever the top page is, videos will stop getting watched after they fade off the past 12 months list.

The solution is obvious. We need an oldies station.

actually, if you look at the weekly star ratings, you can see a lot of new videos competing with old ones

Even the all time star ratings list:

Yes.


Infact, I pretty much hate the "new wave of amvs".

I think not just old amvs, but amvs in general nowadays. :(

Quite a few of my old videos still get played. In fact one of my most 'Previewed' videos is five years old. Although its probably worth mentioning that most 'Previewed' in this case means four. But hey, that still counts in my book. :P
