Should this board have a “Video Zone” forum?

the problem with video zoning to me is this and i will chime in my 2 points
First as you all know, i try to get DC or theebs to post the podcasts or videos of dfw sports beat, nfl network, ktbb when they talk about the cowboys. I think in some way it needs its own space, especially with football season almost upon us.
Yet, I myself dont listen to all of the videos myself when i post them, in fact, one video by a player had a word in it that I missed, because i dont listen to the rap stuff, just mainly listen to cowboys news and i watch the player playing. In this case the draft choice player the cowboys picked this year, was rapping, which i guessed i tuned out the rap, but was watching the player playing on the football field.

Second, in this case, I got a violation for such a video that I posted the link too, that day i posted about 14 videos and one of them had a word in it that I got a violation for.

I try to post what I find when i see it, so other fans can see it too, get the news and like DC said one time, sometimes in recaps i might hear something a certain way, but when another person hears it, a totally different view.

So, I do think videos need to be posted, but like someone mentioned we all mainly view the top 2 forums, not the vids forum.

In retrospect I think maybe some kind of sticky or star should be set up for that day, with videos set in it for that day. After that day, the sticky or star is removed, the vids is still there, but the next day another new sticky for vids. At the same time, I think some way to sticky or star heads up on shows coming up, so fans can be aware. Like yesterday I posted about the 2 super bowls of the Cowboys playing in the 90s on nfl network. Another person posted the same thing in another thread post. If you had a sticky or some type of star for that day with alerts for programs coming up with shows featuring the cowboys. Like dfw sports beat, ktbb, nfl network, cowboys blitz, cowboys game day, especially with football season almost upon us.

Just an ideal, maybe some of our gurus came come up with a solution.

Ya that violation part is a bummer, there would need to be a disclaimer at the top of it, or most would get infractions. It does boggle my mind how sensitive people can get about a harmless word sometimes.

Use subforums in the media zone for each type of media (audio, video, pics).

Dunno if vbulletin has a subforum feature, though. They probably do since you have to pay for it and I'm just showing my ignorance.

We've considered that option before and decided not to go there.

Now that the idea has been presented, we'll prolly review the option again soon.

15 forums is already overkill IMO.

Also, why do we need a "political" forum, isn't the "off-topic" forum enough?

Just put underneath it, "post any political, religious or other world news not related to the Cowboys or the NFL in this forum" etc.

Merge...click...done.

Down to 14 forums now.

The 2009 draft is over folks....merge this forum into the "draft zone".....click....done.

Down to 13 forums now.

hmmmm let's see what else ...

I like it the way it is. Enjoy posting videos in threads that discuss the issue, and if there is no thread and video is important I'll make one. I am sure its not easy to quickly find videos, but that's why people can subscribe to a persons youtube channel.

Since the idea has been addressed and we will consider it I just wanted to stop and thank you for the idea. We really do appreciate it when the members come to us with their ideas how to make the site better.

Thank you.

No problem Hos. Thanks for considering it. I'll leave it you mods to decide what's best. :)

This board already has the "Daily Zone", which is effectively a print-media news forum - which I love by the way. So in the same spirit, would it make sense to also have a separate "Video Zone" forum, specifically for posts where guys like theebs and dcfanatic posts up Cowboys-related videos? That way these video posts would all be held in the same place, which would make them much easier to locate and navigate through.

At least that’s my opinion on the matter. :)

Hey, it’s just a thought! :D

How about a "sign this player" zone. for all the released players that everyone wants us to sign. Whether legimate, old, out of prison, or recently, Matt jones new info about his fine, and no suspension. Then half the threads will go there, and not in this one....:laugh2:

I think each member should have their own respective zone. The moderators will be tasked with moving each thread that a member starts into their own zone after a certain period of time.

It would be wise to implement this idea immediately.
