Dear Jackson,

I'm sure bandwith is at a premium for you, but is there any prospect in the future for us to post video (compressed mpeg, avi, mov etc?).

I would love to share with you and my brothers.

Thanks.

Might as well find a website like yahoo groups and use that as a site to distribute whatever media you want. Although you'll probably have a tough time distributing since there is probably a limit on bandwith.

In all honesty and sincerity I think that this will be something in the future. That would take up so much of the system that it would not run efficiently.

I too, have video but even if it is compressed and so forth, the space that it takes would make the task undaunting. Newer technology has to come out in order for this to happen.

My .02 cents.

Jackson provides this site at no charge to us, and we use a ton of Bandwidth as it is. Bandwidth is not cheap.

I completely agree with Benchseats, and bluishballs, that an off USASG site like yahoo, or youtube is the way to go if you have vid you feel you just have to share with the world.

Youtube is probably the best choice, as I believe there is less personally identifiable information collected by the site.

There are other free sites to post content to as well, and a link to your vid host within a report would be enough to get the vid seen by members here.

Let someone other than Jackson pay for some Bandwidth for all vids.

yuvutu seems to be even better - call it the youtube of the adult world.

If it is too expensive to host here, maybe we can get the forum rules changed to allow links to certain host sites. Also storage space is cheap, if you allowed access at a limited rate that might allow for some manner of hosting.

I doubt seriously if it is a bandwidth issue for not allowing video posting. Jackson hosts two guides, the USA and International (actually a third as he has a Venezuela board too I believe). That is a lot of computer and STORAGE. Okay, tera byte sized drives are fairly inexpensive, but still posting of videos would eat that up in a heartbeat.

Most of the videos posted that I have seen have been through another service with a link from the post.

Where Jackson tends to delete links is when they are to competitor sites or to a purely commercial, you have to pay to see, site. I don't recall, but I also have not checked and gone back to recheck, seeing links to videos deleted.

I did some rough math on storage for just the photos on the US and International boards.

I estimated 25K per picture, some are slightly bigger, others smaller. This is 40 pics per megabyte. USA has ~32,000 pictures and International just over 54,000 or 86,000. I divided that by 40 and came up with around 22 GIGABYTES of picture storage alone. Not counting the reports and other stuff the app stores. This is backed up somewhere, so double that. Now if someone wants to check my math feel free. I may have misplaced a decimal point and that could be 2.2 Gig or 220 Gig.

Figure each video will be several megs, and watch the storage issue blossom out quickly.

Jackson has kept the US board free for everything and only asks lurkers like me to pay $20/yr unlimited viewing of the photo gallery.

So though videos may be a good idea and much appreciated, let's consider the alternatives too. I'd rather see the posting area remain free. Overload it with video and that could possibly change.

THAT IS MY 2 CENTS WORTH.

THAT IS MY 2 CENTS WORTH.Great points man! That gives me a very clear picture of the huge difference in storage space that videos would make. I agree that hosting elsewhere at an approved location would be much better. Maybe one day Jackson will give direction such as the aid he gives for posting pictures.

No rush of course because like you say what do I expect for free! This guy has run the site for years and not asked us for anything other than tolerable behavior. If I were him I would have sold us all out to some porn site by now!

This site really needs the ability to let people upload their own videos. People are using the cctube.com and it is blocked from the US for some crazy reason. Not sure why it is not a kiddie porn site or something like that.
