Yeah because that's my sole motivation. I'm glad I have someone like you to tell me what I'm thinking...

It's a perfectly good suggestion and it seems people would agree. It's quite different from the other categories and as I said, if we have a category for it during the VCAs, that and the supporting replies each time it is suggested, only further validates the need for one. Just as Corran said with "Instrumental."

Maybe Sentimental is more useful for contests but I find it difficult to find an instrumental amv by simply browsing for them.

Agreed. In fact, I have very few instrumental AMVs on my hard-drive and honestly, I find most through the VCA nominations in that category :-/. I need more instrumentals that 4 or 5 a years

He never said anything about you. Guilty conscience? ;p

Nah, like I said, he's right

Now you're wrong. ;p

/off-topic

Now, to redeem myself, I wouldn't mind the category... but we do have Serious, Drama, Romance, and Other. Usually one of those paired with Other could get the idea across. I think that's why we have the Other category, but I do understand Sentimental being another useful way to filter videos since Other wouldn't bring up mostly sentimental videos.

I'm indifferent to it, really. I would like an Instrumental category too.

maybe a clickable for not for minors as well(i know they cant be hosted on the org, and a clickable will be something worthy of addition)

alot of the seasoned editiors(like mj for instance) could use something like that

not pimping or anything, but i think my latest vid is an example of what could be called a sentimental vid. mabey it should replace serios, as that term is rather broad.

Indeed, where is that Hentai category I asked for 2 years ago?

I think an Instrumental category would be a great idea.

I've always thought something *sentimental* would
fall under romance or drama or serious, pretty decently.

Regarding the Instrumental category, I very much do think that it should be added as a category.
