Mr. iddqdidkfa.
Nobody actually knows yet that the original purpose for the screenshots was to prove a certain person that the quality of the videos is rather good; he was complaining that it looked afwul. Turned out he had a codec problem.
Only later I started concentrating on the quality of the screenshots as well :)

I like to preserve history.
Here's a collection of old screenshots from the Nesvideos website… actually it contains all screenshots that are no longer in use on any of the movie pages.

Total size about 1 megabyte.

Are you suggesting Opera is non-compliant? I'm pretty sure they would like to hear about such a thing so they can fix it, since they are usually very zealous about conforming to standards.
Did Opera fail to render it as two columns? I find that surprising to hear.

All in all, an option to choose what layout we prefer (via the profile settings) would be the only way to please everyone. You could leave the two-columns layout as the default one.

It looks fine if you're running a high resolution and always have your browser fullscreened.
I don't always have my browser fullscreened... in fact, it looks better if the columns are _not_ very far apart. A window of 1400 wide is a little too wide, but a window of about 1000 wide is just fine. 800x600 might be cramped.
The font size is the greatest factor.
In my opinion anyway.

HOLY S2T!! WHAT HAPPENED O_O;;
Revert plz. This layout sucks ass.
I must say I'm quite surprised by the magnitude of reactions it causes, like that of yours.
Probably, you are seeing something different than I see. Here's how it appears on my Windows computer… (work):

You have large fonts.
I only get that if I press ctrl+ to enlarge the fonts. Which indeed makes it look a bit cluttered.

Gruefood is under Finished Movies because a judge completed the necessary input to do a Finishing Move.
No, but because all submissions are finished movies; i.e. they are not work-in-progress movies. Gruefood is rejected submissions; a subgroup of submissions, and thus a subgroup of finished movies.

As far as I knew, no one had a problem with the old set up.
At least Maza said in IRC that "it was already a bit messy to newcommers (at least that's what all of my friends have said)".
By grouping them logically and making it easy to spot the right thing I attempted to avoid situations where one searches the forum list by scrolling it up and down and stops at the first "this might be it" because he hasn't seen the entire list, and thus posts in or reads the wrong forum.

does it help at all that they seem to get the collector bots stuck in an infinate loop?
It's not like the collector bots can't work breadth-first, issuing an equal average amount of hits in each site, instead of hammering a single site desperately in attempt to find the tail of the clew end of the ball of yarn.

Don't take my argument of the traffic as a fact. I'm not an authority in the matter; there are many who think differently and support the honeypots.
But it is my opinion that the honeypots are a waste.

Firefox can't find the server at members.hostedscripts.com.
Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
Edit: Weird, it works somewhere else though.
You are talking about spammers' honeypots. I am somewhat opposed to them; it only produces a waste of network traffic without significantly hindering the spammer's work.
Also, re: "address of spammers"... where do you intend to get those addresses from? More than 99% of all spam is sent with forged addresses; addresses of other spam victims. Distributing them in honeypots isn't doing any good; it only causes the existing spam victims to get more spam.

>The first Rygar movie of Warp was intended as a no-glitch movie, not as a no-warp movie.
Well, intended as neither, I would say, because gliches and warps were not known when the first version was made. When the first warp movie was submitted (which was after three versions) it was published separately, essentially creating the "warpless" category.
You are right.
I think only the last of his was a "no glitch" one; the previous ones were just as fast as possible. Perhaps, they should not be labeled explicitly anything because back then, there were no categories for them.
See SMB2 history for another example (which I'm satisfied with as it is now; don't change it). (Open http://tasvideos.org/10M.html and click "history of this entry")

I will revert some of your Rygar changes, because there were some Rygar movies in the past that had different goals. The first Rygar movie of Warp was intended as a no-glitch movie, not as a no-warp movie.
That's why I said "where applicable".
Also, I changed "no warp" to "warpless" to be consistent with the branch name used already in many other movies.

Maybe this would be categorized best in the concept demo area.
The description of the movie reminds me of the Wheel of Fortune submission we had two years back.
I don't think we should pollute the movie listings with this movie.
