YouTube Censorship: The Fightback!
After all this talk of censorship on YouTube and GrumpyOldTwat losing some of the videos he’s uploaded, TheEye decided to don his Level12 Necromancer’s Pointy Hat of Coding and do something about it.
The result is a collection of php scripts and random code which might or might not work as a video upload site. With the aid of GOT‘s artwork it certainly looks like one in dim light.
The plan is that with TheEye and Gotty looking menacing at the door it’ll be a safe haven for more controversial stuff than YouTube are happy with. And anything else that anyone fancies, of course.
Before it is unleashed on the outside world a small group of beta testers are needed to give it a jog across the IT superhighway to see if it gets run over. Fancy helping out? Please drop us a note here. Thanks!
Excellent stuff, ASE. Count me in for a bit of beta testing fun 🙂
Me too ASE, I’ve just sent you an email. If I can help I will.
Brilliant idea Eye .. congrats to both you & Gotty ..
I was thinking more about turning to one of their established rivals as an alternative ..
But I like your idea much better .. you retain ultimate control …
Unfortunaltely, being to computers what the man who designed the Titanic was to nautical engineering .. I must decline your generous offer of being a tester .. 😉 😀 😀
Gotty is Director Of Tact And Diplomacy for the site, which isn’t a service any of the established rivals can match.
As for testing, some great volunteers are already providing feedback and I’m tinkering based on what they’re telling me so all is going great guns. I appreciate the thought though 🙂
Brilliant idea, Eye, I just sent you an email, mate and if I can be of any help I’ll be more than happy to upload a few videos. 😛 😉
Thanks you everyone who has got involved today – the ones above and the ones who have emailed straight in. We’ve made some really good progress in the testing today and I’m grateful.
Who is the bird with the large chest? Can’t help you with any beta testing whatever that is as I am pretty stupid when it comes to computers.
She’s a fit bird with a large chest who likes geeks. In my line of work that’s ample reason to pin a picture of her on the office wall as a message of hope for the nerdier techs.
