i frequented this forum long ago. you might remember me, but you probably don't. i certainly don't remember most of you!

but anyway. i am shoeless. i am twenty years of age. i haven't had an interest in MBTI for a long time now; that phase ended shortly after i met my fiance. regardless, this place has some interesting discussions and i'm hoping to relive some of the good ol' days in that respect.

i used to frequent the video thread ("INTP's on youtube", or something to that effect) but i've noticed that entire section of the forum has become practically a graveyard. if anybody has any interest in rekindling that thread, or even remaking it under a new title, please let me know. i'll be the first to post a video if i can get some others to go along with me.

so, hello again! i hope to have a pleasant stay.

Hello!

I would be interested in the video thread you mentioned,
but there seems to be a problem with video-heavy threads in general, at least for me.
When i open, for instance
http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=11805
it takes forever to load, since somehow the video content all gets buffered at once.
It must have something to do with youtube itself.

hello again, kuu! i remember your username (and the usernames of a few other particularly active members); it's the personal details i am fuzzy on.

salmoneus: perhaps this problem could be fixed by simply posting links to the videos, instead of embedding them? alternatively we could use another video hosting website like vimeo (though i haven't used vimeo in quite some time; not sure of what other options are available). i'm sure there's a way around that problem. just have to try!

Well i'm not sure, it could also be my browser/plugins/add-ons causing the problem.
Have you tried to open the link i posted earlier?

I remember you shoeless, you were everywhere. I can't believe you're only 20 though! I thought you were that age back then... maybe 16 or 17, yeah I guess that makes sense.

Congratulations on your engagement being back - far more important. :p

That utube link opened and played immediately for me, but then I have a fast computer.

I do remember you shoeless. You had a video. I had never talked to you I don't think because I couldn't think of anything to say.

it is definitely slower to load than most pages for me - maybe not to the point of unbearable, but definitely slower.

anyway, i have to work today (ick!) but as soon as i'm back -- or maybe another day, hard to say -- i'll remake the thread somewhere. probably in the lounge i should imagine.

I remember you. Gratz on the engagement!

There has been a small push to get some videos happening, but it's no longer centrally located. Rather, people start their own threads. This is an informal change, there's no real reason I am aware of that the old youtube thread has been a abandoned.

Mine

Lot's

There was another person that was throwing in some philosophy and (if I recall correctly) physics vids, but I can't remember their name, nor could I find the threads :/

Sure I do.

It's charming though how quickly life moves for the young. To me it feels like you where here yesterday.

Hey it's Shoeless! Welcome home we missed you!

As Hado said Lot has been trying to restart the thread and hado is keen to join in as well.

Hello! I remember you. :)

Someone could make a new thread eg. "INTPs on youtube II"

Interesting, this idea was given to a mod a while back. Not sure who though... but it must be done!

if anybody hasn't noticed, i did create a new video thread (originally in the lounge -- instantly moderated into the elysium, for whatever reason). there isn't much content to respond to at the moment, but i was hoping people would simply introduce themselves to begin with. if this doesn't jive with you fellows, that's cool, i get it. if the thread dies, then such is life. but if anybody has any interest in keeping it going, please post something! if nothing is posted by the end of this week, i might post one more video including more content for discussion (if i can get off my lazy over-worked and under-paid ass to do so). hopefully we can generate some replies so that my video doesn't feel like such a waste of forum space.

thaaaanks!

I recall Germany, a tight ass relatively non-existent dad, lots of references to high school drama, and general theater shenanigans.

Then you were thinking about leaving to go back to the states...

After that you disappeared.

I remember a prickly though thoughtful demeanor and...blue hair. I think.

Do I win a prize? :D
