Jack M Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 The videos forum seems to be getting more usage, especially now that it is so much easier to put video online these days. We're debating how to handle videos. Put ALL videos there, or just the eye-candy? Personally I would like to see technique discussions stay here in the Carving Community whether they include video or not. Or do you think it would make things easier/more organized to put all threads with video in the videos forum? We would probably have to apply the same logic to the Photos forum. I would also like to see that be just for eye candy and snow sports photography discussion. disclaimer: the results of this poll will be non-binding. Just trying to get a feel. And Fin has the final say of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I think technique vids should stay in the thread were they are relavent. I usually go to the vid forum just for the eye candy. .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 NO dont move a post just because it has vid in it. If it applies to the topic then leave it. Stop over organizing:freak3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 NO dont move a post just because it has vid in it. If it applies to the topic then leave it. Stop over organizing:freak3: I think this only really applies to threads that start out with a video. If a video was posted in the middle of a thread this poll wouldn't apply. For every person that says to not organize there is someone complaining to organize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMU Alpine Boarder Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I agree with Bobby as well... If we're talking about cross-under turns here and someone posts a video of that, I think it's fine where it is... I don't have a problem with moving a post if it's purely an eye candy thread, like someone posting vids from an epic pow day in the 1st post or something....

Steve Dold Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 If a thread has a video that's especially useful, it would be nice to let the thread stay, but put a link to the video in some sort of archive if possible. Aren't most of the videos these days just youtube links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I didn't vote because there wasn't a third option. Just leave it like it is. I think its good for showing off, ie: eye-candy; but it is also good for technique and advice. I think you can ASK for technique advice in the community forum, but to show whats actually going on might be better posting in the video forum. I don't think that every video that has been posted on BOL should go under the video forum though. Some posts are metal videos and cartoons and such. I think it would get confusing. Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posts are metal videos and cartoons and such. I think it would get confusing. Of course we would not put non-snowboarding videos in the videos forum... that's off-topic. We can't just leave things the way we are, because we haven't defined exactly what goes where. Buggs, you still haven't voted in the poll.

KingCrimson Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Personally I would like to see technique discussions stay here in the Carving Community whether they include video or not. Or do you think it would make things easier/more organized to put all threads with video in the videos forum? I was curious as to why my thread bounced around. Obviously my video wasn't eye candy, and therefore technique discussion ensued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well I just posted one too that's not eye candy by BOL standards. You can move it wherever you like. I've gotten zero replies on it so I guess my technique is PERFECT. How about a sub-forum for technique Q's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carving Community has always been all about technique as well as all things alpine-snowboarding. I was going to respond to your video when I had time. I'll move it here.
