I dont know if we would want to be the "Top Site" because the reason this is so much better place to be than EXSkins(which is a nice site, still), is because its a much smaller community of people, so its like you get to know each other, and you can read a good number of posts. Where as threads over there grow to like 20 pages in an hour, and your opinion is never really discussed.

As far as video's, I absolutley love making highlights, and I would love to do somthing on a weekley basis. The only problem is I cant get the clips to my computer, so I would have to rely on that EX Skins guy, unless someone else can get the clips up here. Either way, let me know if I can help anything in any way.

If we dont change anything though, its fine with me. This is one of the best run sites on the web, and I love coming here. GOod Job Matty and Crew!

I've always kind of yearned for a more graphically-oriented front page, too. Kind of like a magazine cover, where you have the nameplate, a featured photo surrounded by headlines and topics, and the other links to different site features. Once I get into the forums, I don't want the clutter of graphics and images, but it would be nice to see something like a "pic of the day" on the welcome page.

I also agree that we probably never want to get to the size of EX Skins. There's just too much damn clutter, and the thousands of voices drown each other out.

As far as the video clips, I have a pretty good ATI TV tuner card, and I saved most of the games this year, but I'm still figuring out the best way to compress them, both for burning them to DVD, and also for transit over the internet. I'm a bit of a novice at the whole video editing thing, so I wouldn't want to attempt to make highlight films myself, but I'd be happy to try to send you all the video you need, Gmanc711.
