What's with all the Youtube threads in the Lounge? n/t

1. Several reasons:

Youtube is a huge repository for video links.

Youtube doesn't require that you download "sneaky" software like RealPlayer.

Youtube has a better "search" feature than most other video sites.

People like videos.

2. What's wrong with them?

6. Nothing other than I'm at home w/dial up and can't watch any of them

I like the gentle suggestion below, give a description of what those of us who cannot watch would be watching if we were able to watch :shrug:

10. Thanks for the "gentle suggestion" comment

Since all it earned down there was a smart remark. :shrug:

[Debi]

14. Yeah, but I liked your comeback!

:loveya:

11. O,IC. Sorry to hear you're on dial-up

Some of the videos are wicked good.

Some are meh.

I'll take your suggestion to heart; more description of the content next time. :hi:

[Debi]

15. Thanks

3. People are dicks.

4. I don't know

I just wish people would note that in the subject line for those of us with dial-up. It takes me so long to view even a short video that I seldom bother.

5. If you see "youtube" in the link address, and are using a dialup connection,

then maybe you shouldn't click on it.

8. God, everyone's a smartass

I don't click on them. And I realize it's not a huge time-consuming thing to click on a thread only to find it's something I can't access (though it's more time-consuming for someone with dial-up than otherwise). Nor was my remark in any way rude or unreasonable.

It's just a matter of courtesy, which is so often lacking. :nuke:

[Debi]

12. I like your suggestion

Cuz dial-up is my problem and when I click on threads that say..."look at this"...and instead of a photo there is only a Youtube link it's a bummer. x(

[Blue-Jay]

13. I honestly wasn't trying to be a smartass.

That's hard to believe, coming from me, innit?

I just thought that I was offering some helpful advice.

[skygazer]

16. Oh. Whoops.

:blush: Sometimes it's so hard to tell online. :blush:


sorry.....

[Blue-Jay]

17. No offence taken.

Way back when I was using dialup, I learned to avoid audio/video/graphics-intensive links, unless I had something else to do for an hour or two. I realize that lots of folks are unable to have a high speed connection due to finances and/or availability.

9. Thanks for your help!

You are a winner! :7

18. OK.
