The Political Videos forum has been shut down temporarily

[Elad]

because YouTube is having reliability issues tonight, and the hung connections generating from our servers attempting to connect to YouTube were causing our servers to overload.

It's likely that YouTube will resolve the issues quickly and we should have the forum back up tomorrow.

Thanks
Elad

8. Maybe they are just cleaning house......

You know..getting rid of all those ol nasty videos that no one should be seeing..........

9. Who's this "they" you speak of?

[winyanstaz]

10. you tube....

29. Looks like you're partly right

I say partly because YT is still full of Faux news clips, mainly ones they approve of, of course. I think it's only a matter of time before they go after TPM...

"Fox News determined it was time to shut down this one-stop Liberal blog fodder shop (News1News): They sent more than 150 DMCA takedown notices to YouTube regarding Fox News clips on the News1News channel, said the channel's proprietor, John. (John, a doctor living in Washington, DC, didn't want his last name to be used)."

12. Maybe you could pin this?

Unless it's on the announcements page and I missed it. Freaking out a little b/c videos is always the first place I go.

22. youtube has

been having a lot of technical difficulties. Big fuss on their help boards.

[Turborama]

23. I've been using it and haven't had any probs

Must be a backend thing. Interesting to hear there's some chatter about it on their help boards, have you got a link?

[Elad]

24. The forum is back n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

25. Yay!

Now the list of my forums is back in order!

Thanks, Elad.

26. Good, now can you stop archiving threads in there.

There's an annoying issue with that forum. If someone posts a video, and the thread gets archived, you cannot repost that video nor comment on the old thread. It's pretty frustrating.

[Why Syzygy]

27. Ditto. nt

28. Getting a "fatal error" on one of the vids...

"Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/httpd/html/discuss/include/dclib.php on line 3795"
