Trying to Help bring back the Video Section

[familywoman62]

I am not a bandwidth expert by any means but it seems to me smaller compact videos would take less room and therefore less bandwidth.
ie: wmv files are just better than say avi files., zipped videos would be even better!

if I had to click on a revenue generating type pop-ups before downloading a vid from the site I would be a little more selective in the number of videos I download, thumbnails of every video posted would also help, many I have seen before that are renamed so I can't tell until I download and open them.

The "hot"link idea is good but you give up the content & spam control that makes this site one of the best there is.

how about "associate" hosting, I am sure there are many members, myself for one, that would be willing to help out by "donating" a section of my harddrive to storage area for oneclicks. It may not be much help (as i said I'm not an expert) but it seems to me if say 50 members donated 20 gig storage with some type of file sharing system that would help ease the storage problem

I know Alex doesn't want to turn OCC into a pay site but there must be some way to generate revenue from the massive number of members. I would have no problem paying a small fee or having to signup for say "an ebay membership" with a referral from OCC or some other type of "catch" to help keep this great site open

I know i haven't posted a whole lot of videos to the site but the ones i have posted are 100% unique and mine own that have not been posted anywhere else.

heres one for Alex and the gang at OCC <pom poms held high in the air>
