Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:35:16 +0000 http://lawyersvideostudio.com/?p=1167#comment-2318 I have had the same experience twice this year with online forums. First Linux Mint forums threatened to ban me from the forum just for talking off topic. And now C.Net forums have blocked my account. So although I can log in and read the forums,I cannot post on them. I was told by C.Net I violated their terms of service. But was not told what I had done. You can get barred from a forum just for talking off topic in a thread. But anyone who has a computer knows it is impossible to stick to one subject in a computer software forum. And I have had my threads locked in other forums so that I and other people cannot post on that thread. Locking the thread after you have posted on it is another polite way of saying"you are not welcome here." So my experiences with the forums is the same as the problems you have had with the video sharing sites. Andrea Borman. I have had the same experience twice this year with online forums.

Free video sharing sites are great to get exposure and drive traffic, but beware of that email from your video sharing site that says "Your account has been suspended for too much activity." I got that message recently from Flickr. Then you have the option to open a new account and try again, but they catch on. Joseph,

You Tube, Facebook and Myspace have been fine for us. Gerry,

So in case the video site deletes them you have them saved. Then you can just open a new account some where else. I host my blogs on my own domain.But are there any video sharing sites that let you buy a domain,like Blogger or wordpress does? I see so you have got your videos stored on a file on your computer.

"Tubemogul and Vidmetrix are the only authority who can track video views, downloads, etc." Video hits, views, downloads, etc can be measured using Google analytics. 3rd party services/product who can make the sudden choice to boot you without explanation should not be relied on, obviously.
