Gamers-Forum YouTube?

Hey guys here's something I think would be great for attracting new members: a Gamers-Forum YouTube channel! We could get our forum members to contribute by dropping their epic game videos on the forum. Choose the best videos and post them on YouTube. It would be a great chance to gain publicity, and we could see our fellow gamers' skills. Videos could range from lets plays to epic gameplay to game forum user tournaments.

We used to have a group for that, but youtube groups were removed earlier this year.

One of the older mods actually opened an entire account but failed to give me the password for it years ago, he has been out of touch so I don't have access to that account. I might open up another one but more planning will have to go into it.

Well why don't we try to get together some videos and get some of the other members opinions about this?

Why not, question is, what and who will we upload ???

We could get videos from all of our users and then have a vote on which one(s) are YouTube worthy. Or you could have the mods get together and decide. You could reward GF points for videos and give the winners a grand prize. I'm sure there will be one of your mods or veteran gamers that would like to manage the YouTube account.

At first I was excited. But the video presentation and quality could just lead to the opposite of what we want.

Well the only problem would probably be actually getting videos. Not everyone has time to regularly make videos for the channel, but I'm sure we could pop out a good video or two every once in a while. If we are lucky we can find a regular video maker. Besides it wouldn't hurt to set up the account and post a few videos. Advertise a bit. If it takes off it takes off. Might be some fun for the forum users.

If this became a big thing you could get a youtube sponsor thing and get money to better the fourm. I think if it happens there should be a gfx contest for the best profile picture.

Yeah I think having something big like this would be great because the GF users could participate in making it better. We could all contribute and watch it grow. Plus sponsors = money, donations = money, more users = sponsors and donations, YouTube = more users (If it doesn't suck).

I find this pretty interesting so far, lets see what the others think
