One thing though, bandwidth? I wonder how much more bandwidth I would need to increase to satisfy all the people downloading the videos.

Not only bandwidth but server space to store the huge media files. I think this idea was discussed before when Mkilty was running the site and it would require a lot more resources to have a video forum. It's a cost issue in the end, regardless.

That idea is crazy, crazy enough that it might just work!
Actually brendanlim, that's what I first thought when I read the title of the thread. It's cool enough that we can post pics, but video can be a huge burden.
If we had a place to put up the really good links, that would be very cool.

People every once in a while post links to videos and why not just post them into a forum so the links to videos and discussion about them could be organized?
Where they end up hosting the videos, person space from internet provider, university host, etc. is that person's own issue.
I just think it would be a nice organized way for people to find videos of what they love
Oh, and http://www.racingflix.com/ will be offering free video hosting.
