Going the distance
It's about longevity. We've recently purchased a little more hosting space, for a very good reason. Already, we have a good crop of video archives, from Frogblast, to Dark Helmet, and all the way up through some of the 'new guys'. What we lacked was a place to host all those videos. We needed a place that we had control over, so that we could make sure links wouldn't die over time. It's bugged me for some time, and now we've got space for us to locally host every single video we archive, as well as every single video we post on the front page. This helps us ensure that when you come back here 35 years from now, that you'll be able to show your kid what video games used to look like.

Also, we've created an HIH Archive Team (currently a small, trusted group of forumers) that will help assemble new archives, transfer videos to the new hosting space, etc. All this is an effort to make sure that the content you guys work so hard to produce will be around for as long as there are a few of us still hobbling around to care. :)

Cheers.

That's awesome. No more lost videos (that make it onto the front page of course). This was a good decision.

Yeah man this one time I feel on a sidewalk and it hurt pretty bad man. You know like those cuts that aren't big , but still hurt more than the big ones. Yeah well, I got back up and it still hurt, but I knew I had to keep going. So, I did and I made it back home and lived happly ever after.

Because, Sir, Gilleh, being the mad scientist that he is, managed to create an immaturity plague. He made several tubes of the disease, intrusting me with some. When HIH sleeps, I prowl with the viles sheathed in my coat. When I see a target, I pounce, injecting them with syrum, dooming them to behave oddly and silly forever! First KORHAL and SRL. Tomorrow, HIH! Muhahahha!

No seriosuly, SRL is just in one of those cloud nine days when you feel lightheaded and woozy. =) *Poke*

Thanks a lot Sir, this makes me happier than.... uhh... SRL on cloud nine with an attractive female, a pipe with tabbaco, and an old newspaper. >_> Horray for never dieing films! =D *Does jig*

Ahhh, a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and Termeh.

I'm not sure what I can do to help with this here project, but I'll keep an eye on it for the purpose. -_-
