omg i would love for us to have to thing where you can embed youtube videos onto the forum!!!! I don't see the downsides cuz if it's like porn u have to click play to see it and the mods could over time ban the url's if they wanted to stop it all kkkkkkk<3

Nahh they look tacky :(
Well they probably won't be too bad if they're only usable in the Videos section but if they're randomly used it'll be extremely annoying.

it's for that reason.. porn haha.

might as well make a subforum somewhere and make it so all thread makers permissions is moderated (like mod accepts or declines the thread)

People have suggested this before. I would love it, although it will never happen.

Just a few facts...


Youtube doesn't even allow porn or innapropriate content anyway
A link is the same as an embedded video, it's not like a link would stop people going on it
There is still the option of playing it or not, as you don't HAVE to play it
It would be useful! :P

But it's the same reason embedded photos aren't allowed.

They don't show anyone naked or even 'pretending' to do stuff...

You find me a link to porn, because I know for a fact that you won't find one.

It would lead to more trolling and rick roll posts :rolleyes:

Again, you have the choice to play it. You'd get less people clicking the rick rolls because you'd see the image it sort of shows. It just makes it easier to watch people posting genuine youtube vids, there's no point looking at the downsides, cause they're all minor and not breaking the rules if done.

If we didn't look at the downsides of things the forum would be a far worse place than it is now ;)

The main reason this hasn't been implemented in the past is because it would be abused and it makes the forum look messy and can increase loading times for people. I do however like the idea of a forum with the embedded youtube videos having to be approved beforehand, keeps it off the rest of the forum and makes sure it can't be abused. Also gives the moderators something to do, watching youtube would probably be a more fun part of the job :P

I just did a one word search for some and found aload of them :/ I dare you to search any 4 letter words meaning genitalia for both genders and you'll get a "confirm birth date" warning :rolleyes: I would post them but 1. I dare not watch any and 2. it's against the rules :P

What's wrong with just clicking a link anyway? Embedded videos can sometimes have really bad quality anyway so it looks better if you just watch them on the site.

I think it's fine how it is.
A link = no extra loading time if you have a crap computer. Also, the videos in the posts will look bad imo.

Yeah, links are just fine. It doens't take much to just click on the link. I hate it when they are embedded anyway - it looks wierd for some reason :P
