Just an update, since we've been really quiet for a LONG time. In short, the site is getting "partitioned" into several mini-sites...we thought this would be the best way to handle the different sections of the site. The forums will move to a new address, too - but that won't affect anyone here in any way.
We've having severe problems with the forum, since the server has obviously been blacklisted because other people hosting on the server are doing spammy things (all birthday reminders and confirmations from this forum bounce back to us constantly, and it's a problem). Beyond that, we're getting hit mega hard by Chinese spammers and spam bots, which is why all new registrations have been done manually for the past few months (this will no longer be necessary with the move).
This move will be a big help, but it is a lot of work and has been taking a lot of time! We're moving over to an entirely different software platform, too. Everything has been moved over one by one, which takes a tremendous time for two people as opposed to a team of a dozen.
In short, thanks for being patient about the fact that we haven't posted a single video in a LONG, long time. There are about 500-550 new videos in our queue, and since the last video we've posted, we've obtained about 20 new VHS master tapes from stuff taped in the 80s and early 90s that are currently being transferred, as well as some extremely rare stuff from MTV during its first couple years, and several long-lost sitcoms, too!
