Hey ppls.

Some of you probably alreay know about it, but I just found out.

There's a movie sharing site called Vidiac.

Started by the guys who run Streetfire.net.

Allows you to create your own Video Sharing Community on the net.

Might be a good idea to set up our own to host the videos we take from DECA, drags, etc etc.

And it can be almost 100% around Skylines/Stags/Nissans and the stuff we like.

Whatta ya think?

BASS OUT

So anyway.

I made out site up.

http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com

Start uploading Videos people.

It looks pretty bland right now, but that's cos I've done nothing with it but create the community.

I'll ask somebody to make it look like ours soon.

Anyone wanna volunteer?

Prank, who is good for this sort of stuff?

BASS OUTps. I uploaded one of my favorite drifts!

Cos you can rate and comment on and stuff like that on Vidiac.

I wasn't aware that you could do anything like that on Google.

Can you?

true.. you'd have to build a website manually, with a backend which people could comment on. Not difficult. Just takes time.

Vidiac has it built in by the looks of things. Just I saw the default one you'd setup and it looked a bit basic. Streetfire.net is more like it. Depends how much work is required to turn the default theme into something like streetfire

The other alternative is you could create a new forum on here.. every body posts the links to their googlevideo hosted videos in there, and can comment on there. Then it's integrated directly into SAU and nobody has to setup anything other than a new forum to link to them :D

Few options.. good idea though.

I thought about those, but because Vidiac is set up to do it, I figure.... use the right tools for the job.

I also considered the load that 25 people downloading videos all at once would put on our server, and I figured that it's best that load is on somebody elses considering all the content we alreay have.

Do me a favour.

Upload some videos to it.

the interface needs to change obviously, but I need to see how it goes with a few videos there. It's having some maintence done at the moment which is why I havent been able to get in there and make it look all purdy.

I don't have videos.. other than porn. lol.

How do you customise it? Is it a template based system, or do you go in via an admin interface and can customise only certain things?

well I was thinking more with the sau/googlevideo hybrid, you upload and serve the videos through video.google.com... and users post a thread in a dedicated forum on here, say "Skylines Video", with a) link to the video b) description. The thread forms the basis of conversation on that video.

e.g. "my great video" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7486583767426908809

But ok.. I see how it works now. Either works.

Hey ppls.

Okay, I've now got admin access that was playing up yesterday.

http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com/default.aspx

Start uploading videos!

If there is somebody who wants to help out by making it look a lot better than it does now, and give it some SAU flavour, let me know.

Cos I'm shit at that sort of stuff!

I just remembered I have a couple of SAU drag vids too.. might upload them as well.

well here is a look...

pretty basic, but I'm stuffed today. Might be enough so that it doesn't look so bland. I was going to do a nicer collage or something across the top, but maybe later.. or maybe somebody else can get creative on the top area a bit more and I can add it in?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
