How about creating a sticky dedicated to videos?....Expression videos, drive-by's, demo reels, track, street etc etc...

I'll start a roster

VOTES

*Just do the traditional thing and copy and paste the list with your name added in it, if you think it's a good idea*

 

The reason this will never fly is most people don't have dedicated hosting and so most of the links will likely be dead after a short time.

Just my $0.02.

 

I'll help you with the roster...

Yeah, you're probably right. I'd have to provide a place to upload the videos, if anyone wanted to do it.

If anyone has a place that hosts good, paste it here. I might figure something out later.

 

how about I answer with a NO.

No street racing vids at all will be allowed here.

And good luck on finding a place that will keep vids for more than a month

 

are street racing videos illegal or something on the internet ? cuz a lot of other places dont permit them either.

 

I think its just becuase maxima.org doesn't condone street racing...

 

i quote another person in the past...

"You may have noticed in the rules that we don't allow street racing stories on our site. You may also have recently noticed that videos posted on our site that depict street racing are also disappearing little by little. I've been asked why we don't allow street racing, as it attracts more visitors to watch these videos. And doesn't more visitors equal more money from site sponsors? The answer is, we don't care. We are not interested in making more money at the expense of the community.

Sure, almost all people on this site have probably street raced once or twice - and maybe they still do it regularly. I'm sure everyone has run a red light or they speed on the highway on a daily basis too. That doesn't make it right. Street racing is not only illegal, it's the black eye on our community. It's the reason why our industry is not taken seriously and attracts so much negative press. It's the reason why our emissions laws are becoming so strict with the visual tests - in CA, it's almost completely illegal to modify your car at all, as they're trying to target the street racers. It's also the reason why many of us have a difficult time getting tracks built in our area - why local communities won't back any track proposals. It's hurting our hobby and it's not the kind of activity we want to support on our site. By allowing people to post videos and stories of street racing, we feel that we'd be encouraging our members to create those videos and those stories. These videos glamorize the issue. Many of our members are young impressionable kids who don't need that type of encouragement. We're not necessarily telling you what to do and not do. If you street race, that's fine, just keep it to yourself.

We don't care to profit by being a negative influence in the community. We're not in this business to get rich. We're in it to make a positive impact and to act responsible. If we don't attract as many members as sites that allow street racing content, we can accept that. Let those site owners do what they think is right. We will continue to encourage our members to take it to the track."

 

and i think if anything there should be a whole new section for videos not a sticky. Theres already too many.

 

I think we should have a multimedia sticky or forum that deletes threads after one or two pages. svtperformance.com has a nice multimedia section.

 

it doesnt all have to be street racing people have vids from the track or there own property jsut cruising but thats just my .02 cents

 

Because a video of a 4th gen Maxima cruising would be so sweet to watch . . .

 

Joos, i'd agree! That'd be much better!

Bags, i dont understand how you could say "no". A video section would be VERY nice to have. Street racing? whatever, fine...any video then. It doesn't have to be a RACING video. But drive-by's and all that junk are equally nice to see.

Unfortunately I don't think this will work either, strictly for the obvious hosting dilemma. But hey, what do people do in the exhaust thread?

Well if something comes up, i'll let you people know. Or, if someone finds something, post back here! Because this is a GREAT idea. It would be very nice to see it take off.

 

And to prove they can be equally fun as they are safe, I made a "demo reel" myself:

But if that doesn't sway with the grain of the .org, no problem. It simply won't happen then.
