I think this is pretty self explanatory. It worked well for Quake and Half Life 2, and I think it could work well for TAS.
Pros:
People who can not normally work on large time consuming projects now can.
If someone (presumably a major contributor) has to drop out on a TAS, or delay for a year, it doesn’t matter, other people can pick up where he left off (and it wouldn’t really be ‘picking up’ anyway).
Many people working towards a common goal is likely to preserve sanity and produce a good result.
Etc.
Cons: I don’t see any.
Feel free to discuss it further, or start one or whatever.

I think this thread has lost its original meaning. It's not a Q&A thread anylonger.
So in order to help the topic get back to its original use, you asked/answered a question. Hm.

What I meant was that instead of people asking questions and other people answering them, the thread has become a forum where many people express their personal opinions about a controversial subject (ie. they are not asking questions nor answering them, just throwing their opinion in), which is not what this thread was originally about.
People are asking questions, and they are being answered. All opinions I have seen seem to be valid attempts to address a question raised in the topic. How is that now what this topic was intended to be?

Perhaps for similar reasons why people bother writing pages on this website explaining tricks and glitches in video games. The maker thinks it's useful or fun (or whatever other reason) to make it.
Tricks and glitches of games could actually be useful for someone.
Smileys couldn't? Perhaps not useful for you, but they are useful for someone.

Fabian sucks (lol) really badly compared to a year ago, I'm sure you all will agree on that. This is my attempt to make him better.
Give your reasons why Fabian sucks (lol). All serious reasons and a reasonable amount of less serious reasons will be considered valid. The reasons can be pertaining to any part of Fabian, from personality/looks/general suckiness about whatever you think sucks in his life/music/TASing/entertainment/why he sucks (lol)/why is [person] on this forum more awesome than Fabian (sucks (lol)). Be creative (lol)!
If you want to be anonymous feel free to PM obviously.
It's encouraged, though not required, to begin your post like this:
"Fabian sucks lol"
Alright that's it let's go!

Hey Warp, some relevant links.

If it really isn't the worst movie he has ever seen, these probably apply.
Perhaps what he means is "I thought this movie sucked" and just really wanted to get the point across.

Deer Fabian,
Do you really expect this topic to have an effect on the forum besides just this one topic? You say you want people to make useful posts that are more than two sentences, but how do you think questions and answers to various questions in this topic will affect posting behavior elsewhere? I don't really think it will have a noticeable effect (and don't see why it would).
Why do you feel you must save the forum and bring it back to the glory days? Either I misread, or you claim to be happier now that you get up and do things rather than rot in front of your computer all day. Wouldn't bringing the forums back from suckage to something actually worth reading just give you a bit of cause to sit back down and rot again? When things start to interest you a bit, I would think that refresh button might become attractive. Have you considered this? And do you think it is a silly notion?
More to come later maybe. For now, I'm voting yes for "should I go to sleep now".

Hey Xkeeper and anyone else interested in having color in the avi, it can be adjusted here by turning the dial under 'CONTRAST'. The options are "brighter" and "darker". But seriously, the game doesn't have color. Why give it color andnottaintthese?

It seems like you are saying that publishing this TAS would interfere with your morals, which you don't want this site to do. If that is the case (and please correct me if it isn't) then why isn't this rejected yet? Did I miss something?

Alter, all those blocks in the ceiling when you are getting missile/energy tanks in that narrow passage can be shot out instead of using bombs. Maybe it has been mentioned already though, I didn't look very hard.
