I will be doing some housecleaning throughout the site. Any dead links will be removed. I've asked far more than enough for people to kindly redonate any content that they donated before the big site crash. Few people actually did that, so as a result many dead links remain. I'm tired of that now, so they will now be removed, permanently, unless I am able to reobtain the content at some point.

You didn't save them to your computer or a CD?

I have a few videos that were on your site. When I get the time I'll send them to you.

Before you send me any videos, check to make sure they aren't on the site. Note that I didn't say that every video was coming down.

As for saving...it was an unexpected (very unexpected) catastrophe, so I had no time to save-nor any advanced warning that I needed to.

I've just gone through all the video pages, and there were actually fewer dead links than I thought. I was even able to fix some (somehow I managed to find some of the missing video clips). The remaining broken clips appear to be from the huge batch I got from Matt. With any luck, perhaps he still has a few of those lying around somewhere, or knows who contributed them and can guide me in the right direction.

No, where have you been? I've done the following over the last two days (and I'm not done yet):

-Added a terms of use page
-Added disclaimers to the bottom of every page
-Cleaned up the home page
-Cleaned up the other pages
-Added the OCM info pages

I announced all that stuff in this thread. You needn't even visit the site.

BTW, that doesn't help brighten what has turned into a very dim outlook for the site. I go through all the hard work, to be told that you don;t visit the site?  :rolleyes:

Yeah, it kind of shows a sign that you don't really like the site, even though that might not actually be the case.

Update: The OCM bio page is now completely finished. If you have anything to add, don't hesitate to let me know!  :sunglasses:

I've found a (partial, at least) solution to the missing video issue-YouTube. It seems that many of the missing videos are there, so I'm simply going to download them and use a video converter to convert them back to .wmv. Hopefully I'll be able to replace many, ifnot all, of the missing videos this way.  :sunglasses:

great.

Is this an unusual advantage to the stolen videos?

Actually, none of the videos I'm finding are stolen. Their original and rightful owners have put them up. :yes:
