This might sound like stupid whining, but is it really that hard to fix the https youtube embedding and at the same time add vimeo?
That's a 2 hour job or so.
Do we need to perform a sacrifice for the QBN gods? I nominate GeorgesIV to be thrown in the volcano.

How does it take 2 hrs.?

The ancients left long ago. Hosting is covered by a 1000 year grant covered by the Church of Scientology. As long as electricity comes out of the hoover dam, the pic of the day thread will be available.

The answer is return on investment. Let's say the owners of this site usually charge $20/hr (obviously a super low rate, but go with it for arguments sake)
So the fix costs them $40 of their time. What do theey get for that $40?
Nothing. This place doesn't generate revenue. There are no ads. There's no fee for membership. All it would do is alleviate a minor annoyance for the users who come here and, monetarily, give nothing in return.
And I seriously doubt the issue, or really any issue, will cause them concern about their "brand" or whatever nonesense.
Do in short, yes. This party boat is adrift at sea. Instead of sacrificing Georges, we should fatten him up and restrict his mobility for when the inevitable cannibalism begins- Oh don't start Raf off..detritus
- BTW, did everyone see the link for the NEW! portfolio hosting this place offers?locustsloth

- you didn't pay a membership fee?monospaced
- i got grandfathered inlocustsloth
- ehehehehGeorgesIV
- Lol detritus... I find it fascinating people don't see the ads, which are the reason this place still exists.raf
- Indeed, QBN is my favourite online biz success story its users never even noticed.raf
- HAHA only just noticed that "NEW" thinganimatedgif

^ Such rubbish... this site and brand has value as it has good traffic and is/was a respected design related site.
To say no point updating to get $40 back for some work is a silly argument.
Or were you just messing about?
In which case I will delete this post - dammit I can't - can you add that feature as well please soon :)- lol @ deleting postsmonospaced
- messing around a bit, but it's clear that no one is monitoring this place like they used to. And there's really nothing in it for themlocustsloth

- QBN's only raison d'etre — traffic driver for Krop. Not necessary, but switching off might have bad SEO impact.raf

I believe the ability to delete posts should't be a feature, I like not being able to.

I mean, we can still post some videos, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

Yes, and by deleting I also mean editing.
If you are concerned about something you write here might affect you in the future then create a character account and use that.
- can you still create accounts?hereswhatidid

- I have seen many comments and threads deleted, even in the last few weeks. It's modded.monospaced
