You should consider being a patient. :plain:

Else, your second go-to move is to just expand the first go-to move's mistake?

Chrys, for heaven's sake post the next award.
There you go again. Deprecation must be your middle name. :idunno:

But of course, you still haven't asked Knight how much TOL server space YouTube videos actually take up. When you're asking him, maybe also ask him about posting the exact same posts, every morning, day after day...

Nazaroo posts more images, videos, over-formatted (bolded, sized, multiple fonts, colored, etc) and excessively long posts than anyone at TOL. I'd expect that between all of that but more so, his hundreds and hundreds of threads, he's the TOLer who takes up the most server space at TOL. That's just a guess.

But you have no idea what you're talking about, so it doesn't matter much.

Sure. The top posters are probably in contention as well. Oh, you're one of them. Or don't your repeating, identical posts, morning after morning count as taking up space?

good one zoo
I was wondering when someone would call me on that
some things are worth repeating
and
it doesn't take up that much space

It's fine by me. Then, a post with a Youtube video (a short line of code pointing to youtube servers) doesn't take up much server space either.

You and I joined TOL within days of one another... And I'm certain that 30,000 posts takes up more space than 10,000. :plain:

so why do they have to keep closing those threads?

StudentX closes them so they don't get too long and unstable. Knight's said that he doesn't want the threads to get too long. Threads get unstable when they get too long. Lots of videos and images are harder to load, but that doesn't mean that they're taking up much server space, or using TOL bandwidth. They're hosted on YouTube servers and take up YouTube's bandwidth. It's been explained to you a number of times, and you've ignored it each time.

And I've mentioned many times before that you ought to ask Knight, but you've ignored that too.

It's willful ignorance.


While you can always go directly to the YouTube site and view the videos there, spending time in class finding the particular videos you want can be inefficient. Furthermore, once you are on the YouTube site, it is easy to become distracted by the other videos recommended to you. One solution is to embed YouTube videos directly into your web page. This allows the video to play on your web page without going to YouTube. The video is still streamed from the YouTube site, so it does not take up any storage space on your web server. source



Plus, you seem to think that because you don't want to listen to or share music with other people at TOL that it's a waste. Some of us like to share music with one another. That's a part of the community.

you are the one in denial
there are many threads that go way beyond a thousand posts with no problem
but
you are able to ignore this

As usual, you're ignoring what I'm saying:

"Lots of videos and images are harder to load, but that doesn't mean that they're taking up much server space."

I don't think you're even reading it. This is a waste of time.

it is a waste of space
are you really that interested in what someone found on the internet?
if
it does not directly apply to what is being discussed?
