Honestly, if you want your voice to be heard around here, start contributing. How many videos have you posted?
DO you have any idea the hundreds of video threads with ZERO or very few views? Its a waste of bandwidth.
there are plenty of places to find videos on the internet. we still have videos. but there has to be some crowd control.
for christ's sake man, you dont even have an avatar, and we are supposed to make rules on your opinion?
contribute!!!
You, Onerythm dont need to make rules on my opinion 'cause for you, obviously an avtaar is the measure of somebody's worthiness. Oh, and I cant see a single thread of the ones which are there on Videos with "Zero Views".

CMAN, I am not complaining but I *am* definitely criticizing the decision. I don't need to teach you or anyone how to run this forum or any other, but as you would know, of the 65,671 members or the thousands of active members that are there on this forum, how many actually post on a regular basis?
I'm sure you would have analyzed the data and would have seen a lot of newbie contributors and some good ones at that. Now its for the mods and you to decide how to measure the success of this forum. Sure, a good and successful forum should have a lot of contributors, but should and would invariably have a lot of 'lurkers' as onerythm decided to characterize it. The 'lurkers' are the ones which will pass on the word.
I don't post and I have my reasons for it. But you have to ask why so many people come here... Its a free, ad-free, no nonsense forum and you get some of the best celeb material here. It doesnt have the zillions of thank you posts and the forum is maintained clean.
You dont need to listen to me and I'm sure all of you have your reasons to come to this decision. But as someone who has seen the videos forum growing from being very dormant to more active than the pics one, I believe that to restrict your majority of the members from posting altogether is truly a backward step.
I'm sure the restriction could have been made better. (perhaps no new threads in the name of some unknown celebs or something)
CMAN, you have run one the best forums on celebs that I have seen. I'm sure you've had a lot of problems along the way but still have maintained this forum no nonsense and ad-free. I sincerely appreciate your resolve in keeping this alive. I know you may have your reasons for coming to this decision. My intention of starting this thread was not to complain but to urge you and the forum moderators to reconsider the decision and perhaps come to a more reasonable decision.
Have a nice day.

PS: Oh yes Onerythm, stop calling people names. It doesnt make me any lesser if you call me a name and doesn't make you look any better either. This is a discussion forum and I thought I can voice my opinion or open a discussion irrespective of whether it will be counted on the basis of me having an 'avtaar'.
