I would like to create a furry video sharing site

Mon Jul 13, 2009, 11:02 AM
Here is the plan i have in mind. A video sharing site where only furries can upload videos. Videos can still be flagged but with me in the admin seat and a few selected others, we will know what is and isn't acceptable material. I already have a few moderators in mind. Trusty people I've known for a while, throughout the YouTube Furry War and beyond (echo)... I don't currently have the funding to host such a site as of yet, but I'm willing to accept donations (NOT YET. LATER). Basically to pull this off we will need a very secure server hosting at least 500gb storage to be like a YouTube for furries. Lets face it. Some videos take up a GB if encoded with a crappy uncompressed codec. This is probably why YouTube has file size limits. To encourage people to use divx and quicktime formats.

A Furry YouTube hosted by me, I think would be a welcome addition to the Furry Community. I would go with a site like Ning.com or Fliggo.com but such sites lack features and may not be fully under my control. If the trolls don't like how we manage a site hosted by those services they could probably skip right by us and talk to the host to get our site pulled by telling them lies about us. At least with the site fully under my control there will be no way to silence our opinions and keep us from uploading videos of conventions or the furry dota dance. Or whatever you young furries upload these days, dag nabbit dibbit dabbit... :P Keep in mind this is only a work in thought. I have not started to pull off getting a server or anything. I don't eve know what i would call the site just yet. FurryTube is already taken but it's a unused domain. So i may need to use another name for it.

If i do create such a site it will be running on donations such as Furnation and Fur Affinity are doing right now. Of course there will be PG rating to the site like YouTube, but there will be a flip toggle filter to allow you to see and post higher rated stuff. It will have a disclaimer to prove you are over 18 or mature in order to use the said content. As of now I already have software to run the site, courtesy of Tamias googling up a nice one for me. I am also aware that like Fur Affinity and Furnation it will be bombarded with constant barrage by trolls who want to bring the servers down and get in a circle jerk over the bonfire they make of it. We will need strong server security to protect against server hijacking and Direct Denial of Service attacks. I know a troll when i spot one, so i can easily give them the ban hammer so thats no problem. Also if they start trying to spread drama or say things about other people which isn't true, i can silence them and remove their comments.

I wont have to go to a support page and ask for help. I'll BE the support. Of course there will be a limit to what furries can put on the site. nothing harassing to trolls of course. After all this would be like a haven away from trolls. Why bring the drama there if the trolls can't get in, right? In most cases it's easy to ignore a troll, but if they resort to DMCAing content and hacking accounts, theres no way to ignore that. this is why I will be in charge of the DMCA an flagging tools. I will review the videos targeted. I am also easy to get in contact with so if the furry who uploads the video wishes to talk to me about it, they wont have to worry about a automated system that treats them like just another number on a list. They will see me or my moderators directly. If you can help with this project in any way, either by donations, software, hardware, or extra help in other fields, drop me a line at wolfee (at) wolfeedarkfang (dot) com or here.

Keep in mind that I am a amateur at server hosting, have poor people skills, would much rather be gaming then working, get really sick when stressed, I am not made of money, wish for the best benefit furries, and do not wish this to be a hate site so keep it furry or leave. Also I'm aware of these things called 'furry gangs'. Pretty much like the burned furs and such. They think they can rid the fandom of porn and sick people. I've been around the internet long enough to see many of these gangs fail and sometimes turn on their own members. It never works. I'm all for keeping a clean impression of our fan base, but theres a limit to what you can do without looking like a pig headed dictator and being hated by the very people you seek to "help". I've seen this so many times, and every time a furry comes to me talking about starting up another one, i cringe inside. I let them do it.. The best way to learn is to faceplant a few times and move on. Anyway /end-message.
