I'm very thankful I paid attention to what the Spirit was leading me to because before this all unfolded, I had started watching talks by a digital archivist named Jason Scott. Among other things the talks I watched included recovering the original development files for landmark games (on deteriorating magnetic media) and scam and con artists from the BBS days. In addition to alerting me to look for other causes for the takedown, it reminded me of the importance of getting the data of SI backed up securely and in multiple places. Interesting, Greg already has some of the SI content stored on archive.org. Perhaps, he should look at backing up the videos there too. (EDIT: I checked and Greg already has 828 videos uploaded to archive.org.)
Thankful for the wisdom in your post brother. Nigerian registrations and growing alot on SermonIndex, so it was not a surprise that the spammer for that video was Nigerian.
There was also malicious porn spam that used the sermonindex name and description tags. But this might have not been the reason for it being taken down.
I agree with your wisdom that the mirror channels should try and make the content look unique and not copy tags or descriptions, etc.

"So there is no confusion from saints that we are trying to make big bucks (which we could) from this youtube channel."
Thank you for clarifying that bro. It is very important that folks dont believe that any of us are peddlers of the Gospel..............bro Frank |

| | Re: | | Hi Frank and anyone watching
Sermonindex is above reproach in its dealings of any kind and everyone including myself detest as Frank said the "peddlers"
Its good ending and a warning as Greg said as well.
We are at the mercy of a worldly organisation on the one hand and the flip side of the coin is that it is such a great tool to have.We have to keep an eye out for other Christian organisations in the future as well just in case they need our support,

I think you know what I mean.Im not going to count how many angels can dance on a pin head.Suffice to say that Sermonindex have been honest and fair and above reproach in my opinion regarding their dealings.Paul said on occasion when dealing with the churches that he was basically above reproach in the sense that the went out of his way not to be a burden even though he had the right.So in certain things you can be above reproach and blameless as Paul said of himself.

I actually did not know what you meant bro, that is why I challenged the notion that anyone is above reproach.......bro Frank |

| | Re: | | As far as storage and file sizes for these videos goes there is a really good free programme used by a lot of photographers called Handbrake. It reduces the file size of a video to a third or less and will keep all of the reolution and sharpness and colour etc.
It may not be of interest but just thought I would let anyone know.

Brother,
This is a great suggestion. One interesting thing is that when you submit the video files to youtube they shrink them down also. I will take a look at handbrake, I have used it before to rip DVDS to mp4.
