We own 3 dedicated servers so bandwidth isnt such an issue but on the forums we do eat a lot of it, thats all I can really say.

I am off for the night so if you have any questions please PM me.

It could work.

Posting porn would basically be imposible because Youtube has a filter thing and it detects it and removes it almost instantly.

I doubt anyone would abuse it either. And if they would. Ban them.

[Contendatation]

Why don't it be given a try, any luck it might become such a hit a very own youtube forum would be created posting halrious to the abnormal videos from there!

I've posted this twice, it's some custom bbcode that takes about 5 seconds to install.


They still don't do it.

They still allow mild nudity and swearing though, which Habbox don't.

[--ss--]

They'll just make the site look tacky.

Wouldnt lag the thread so much, certainly eat our bandwidth which is something we wouldnt want.

Jin, Jin Jin. How would it eat your bandwidth if the videos are located externally on YouTube's server? The only thing which would be able to cause any amount of bandwidth usage is the html code on the page...

Exactly, a few more bytes of bandwidth isn't going to effect anyone or anything

I know what your saying, and yeah it could be abused, since there is mild nudity and swearing on YouTube. However I could upload mild nudity and swearing as images, does that mean images should be banned?

If the YouTube video's where moderated like the rest of the forum is moderated, then I don't see the problem?

Yeah but it's fine when people link to Youtube videos that have swearing but we can't enable it in the [youtube] tags? Obviously the rules will need to be tempered with. Mild swearing should be allowed if it's on Youtube. As it's not directly swearing onto HabboxForum.

No because you can see the if the images are inappropriate straight away. You'd have to watch all the video to be able to tell if it was. You could argue that people can avoid the filter and swear, does that mean that typing should be banned?
