2 years ago	mikefreeman	Remoulder: I'm not saying you're wrong about that, but I was wondering. At what point do we draw the line between someone doing something for the community and someone doing something for themselves and promoting it within the community? The idea for a unified video site was discussed for a while, with everyone saying it was a good idea, but nothing moving forward until Alexio created this site in response. I personally feel, whether he's promoting his own site or not, this might be something that was done with the community as a whole in mind, with the community backing the idea. I suppose it would have to come down to the Mint team officially giving Alexio their blessings on the site before it is an official Mint site. I don't know. At any rate, I'm supporting this, because it's all we've got until there is an official Mint team-supported video site. I was personally very close to setting up a YouTube site for the same purpose until I saw this.
