I was trying to clean up my email & delete outdated folders. I looked at my old Hotfile folder and it had all these emails from them telling me that money would be deposited in my designated account.

Good ol' RS also gave rewards for # of vids downloaded. Now it seems like hosting sites are up 1 day, down the next let alone get rewards. Where's a poster supposed to earn a buck these days! Image
But seriously, that's why comments are important to posters as comments replace these rewards. I know I'm not the only one that notices not seeing many of our past great posters of vids & caps disappearing over the last couple years. 1 comment per 100 views is just not cuttin' it lurkers.

I discussed with Art about how the comments and views have decreased over the years
It makes it tough for the cappers
I have a lot of respect for the guys like you and tdubya who have been here year after year :Kool :Thumb
I've seen many a great capper suffer from burnout and it's understandable
Just know that you and your efforts are appreciated by a LOT of people :rock

It didn't help when "RATpidshare" deleted half of uploaded files 2 days after paying them an annual premium when they stated in the advertisements
that if you had a premium account ( your files will never be deleted as long a the premium is paid) Not exact word buts close.

I have been away from here a while for various reasons. part health : part personal and just because I'm getting too damn old.

I'm back because making videos is enjoyable and although "thank you's" are not necessary they are appreciated.

I am still at mediafire (free one) but will reach my limit soon. Many of the clips I have tried to download are sites I have
never heard of and make you "go through hoops" to download unless you sign up for there "premium" site (no way)
If anyone know of a great (free) site to upload please advise

No it is NOT like the ol' days but WWOW hasn't changed too much. Still pretty damn good

I can fully understand why cappers/ content posters would feel under-appreciated.

That being said, please know that even those who don't bother to post a thank you or any other acknowledgement of your work appreciate your efforts. Lurkers willl be lurkers.

I try to post my thanks in many different sub forums.

I think the problem in 2017 is that there are simply too many other places to go on the internet. When I joined back in 2004, I felt like I had found a very unique place with content I truly appreciated. I knew of only a couple of similar forums, but I liked WWoW the best.

All I can say is please keep contributing. We all get busy with stuff but please don't ever think that your work is not appreciated.

My two cents....

I agree with CoffeeNerves. I for one appreciate and say Thank you to the cappers>

Very true, in my case since 2005.

It's just also IMHO-there are not as many cool segments to see on television, even compared to the last few years.

I recall seeing tons of Hannah Storm on CBS, Katie Couric and Meredith Vieira on NBC, and Rebecca Gomez/Diamond and Tracy Byrnes on Fox Business.

But Nick and sparty are right, there are other sites to find caps. It's just, this site I always enjoy coming back to more than others.

Funny, I joined WWoW 4 days before you newsguy and I also started at ReporterCaps with Sabrina, Gambit and the infamous one, shadow. Those were good days. I think there was more comradery there which made it enjoyable. What I mean is like members (and not just 1 or 2) would discuss not only the anchors but also TV shows, movies, sports, even current events. Guys even had their own chat threads at RC. Of course I was too shy myself. Image Sparty could explain successful chat threads. He was a mover & a shaker. Image WWoW has all those threads here but try posting something in one. It's futile. Pool tries to get the sports enthusiasm up by running brackets and fantasy leagues. I did the NBA fantasy league for 3 yrs but dropped out b/c there never more than 5 players. The NCAA bracket is not much better. March madness is coming soon. Let's give Pool a record turnout this year.
I see 90% of the movies & TV shows out there. I'm ready put my movie critic expertise to the challenge. Image



I have to believe like myself there are many folks here that knew me or I knew them from elsewhere. Maybe internet haters have worn you down. I know I've come close many times. But I'm just so damn ornery I just keep popping back up.

The chat threads were cool as was the feeling of community
The other thing I liked about the RC board is each newsbabe had her own thread :Kool
So if you were an Ainsley nut like me, you could make it into a personal shrine :Kool

I hear what everyone is saying about the way things are here. The idea you can keep the same level of postings and/or replies over a 15 yr period is something that's never easy. Don't forget we started before YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. That's pretty amazing to ponder.

I tried to post caps clips early on then others came along posting better quality and frequently so I focused on spam. I'm here daily deleting spam and/or helping members w username issues.

As for the future of this site: This site belongs to everyone here. The main problems going forward are free places to post caps and clips. Seems like that free sites that host media are closing every 6 months and leaving behind alot of pissed off users plus dead links on this board. Hopefully free sites will continue to flourish allowing cappers the opportunity to continue posting.

Well stated Pool, and :thankyou

Agree too with Pool. I really always thought guys did this for just the fun or hobby of it albeit a lot of work. I learned a lot from this thread. So :thankyou to all for what that's worth.

I appreciate your efforts pool, Laker as well and the other mods/admins who keep the site clean from all the spam intrusions and such. We've talked about giving the site a facelift but so far we've not found anyone with expertise to do so but talk to the admins if you have the know-how. Otherwise I'm happy here. WWoW has the biggest and badest news anchor collection out there. There's lots of celeb sites but WWoW is #1 for anchor babes. Image

I've always tried to show my gratitude to the cappers and clippers. I wish more would follow suit...
