Flash Games on the Sift?
posted by Fjnbk 1 month 3 weeks ago • 308 views
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but no one comes to VideoSift just for the videos. People also come for the mature commenting and the mix of interesting and intelligent people that populate this site. The focus of VideoSift is no longer purely on videos, note that we are handing out star points for all kinds of reasons now, like hilarious comments or *quality posts.

So what's stopping us from letting games be posted here? Games from MiniClip, for instance. I think that they could become a great part of the Sift experience. Of course, some major changes might have to be made, but I think the website should always be evolving and growing as a community. Leave your thoughts here...

P.S. I think this was mentioned before, but it's time to revisit this idea.

VideoSift not GameSift.

maybe you can just do a blog...or ask lucky about this awesome CMS and maybe get a gamesift up and running. I like that there are other aspects to videosift than just videos but I think this is too much of a tangent for a specialized site to offer.

We seriously considered doing a gamesift- but in our research we found there just weren't enough games to keep it going with new stuff.

Many of the really good Flash games don't allow embedding.

Okay, instead of a Game "Sift", how about just a Game "Lounge" area here on the Sift? No voting on games or receiving stars for posting them, but just an area where members can play games and shoot the breeze? Make it a tab called "Game Lounge." How games are chosen can be a work in progress. Maybe Dag and Lucky can put up and dozen games, and then feedback can be solicited through voting, or something like that.

I think it's definitely possible, and it wouldn't distract from the main objective of this site, which is sifting videos.

I'd say allow to post flash games in the videogames channel only (so no cross posting and unable to post in other channels)

i agree and think it wouldnt work. i would get annoyed having to sift through both vids and games.

wouldnt mind a lounge* though, if only for the tea and cookies.
oh yes, and white russians, obviously- the main reason i'm not a vegan.

*maybe a very basic forumlike thing (like sifttalk)

this IS a lounge. hooray!

^That's an interesting point. For me, Sift Talk is the heart of the community - but many people don't know of its existence. Maybe we should rename Sift Talk to Sift Lounge

Then we could finally post porn in sexuality, hooray! No? Awww.

Jesus, any one of a hundred flash game sites are just two clicks away and they all have tons of great material.

There isn't a better video site. Let's keep it that way.
