If YouTube had an Official Forum ...

[The Virgo]

What do you think it would be like? And I'm not talking about the unofficial community forum. I'm talking about an Official Forum that was available to ANYONE who had a YouTube account.

What do you think it would be like? How many stupid people do you think would be on there? What do you imagine the normal experience would be like? What's your vision of the "Youtube Users' Official Forums"?

Have fun!

Lots of hate towards rap, rock, Justin B., Rickrolls all across the boards!

Probably a lot like the extremely racist/sexist/retarded comments section. Unless they had the foresight to get some good moderators...in which case it would just be a bunch of whiners complaining about the mods doing their jobs.

 

[Ready2Go]

It would have some of the most retarded shit on it.

 

[the spud]

Please, don't make me think of such things. Really, Youtube is already the big black hole of the internet, except instead of sucking up matter it eats intelligence.

 

[Jauffre]

ahhhh don't make me think of the horror!

 

[Whateveralot]

It would be the new internet hell. They'd better have some good moderators...

The forums will be a reflection of this. I think the combined rock, metal and Justin Bieber forum will have a lot of flamewars and shit. The science subforum will be way less stupid. Just depends where you're looking.

You know the Vevo forums will be full of "[Singer/Band name] is shit, drop them!" and "You guys are scumbags! DERP!".

I hate to think what the fetish video sections of the forum would be like. <:-O

ahhhh don't make me think of the horror!

It's my Halloween gift to you!

"YOUTUBE FORUMS! BOO!"

 

[The Virgo]

They would probably use the money they would make (who would want to moderate the YouTube Forums for free? Not me!) on anti-depressants.

They would probably in three months end up being the saddest, most pitiful people on earth.

Poor hypothetical bastards.

EDIT - Love your profile pic, by the way! XD

 

[Something Amyss]

Worst forum in history.

Every post would be "Fake and Gay" or "WATCH MY VIDEO!!!"

don't forget random conspiracy theory crap.

I can't tell you how often I see a 9-11 truther posting shit that has nothing to do with the video at hand.

 

[LJJ1991]

Trolls. Lots and lots of trolls.

Creating a Youtube forum has no benefit. For anyone. It will be the same as the comments section, it will just make it easier to navigate flaming topics.

And I don't think anyone hates him/herself enough to become a moderator for that forum...

This thread isn't about the benefits of one.

This is just a fun little topic I created just to see what everyone would envision a hypothetical YouTube forum to be like.

 

[GeorgW]

It'd probably get 5 million new threads each day consisting only of:
OP: "Check out my new video!!"
Only comment:"It sucks, thumbs up if you agree!"

Sure all the idiocy would still be there, but I still think this kind of thing would overwhelmingly dominate. It is a site about videos after all...

Oh, and you'd have to pay me to moderate there.

 

[Wintermoot]

lots of people complaining about the "improvements" nobody was waiting for I STILL think the new YT main page layout is a clusterfuck.

also friend-4-friend/sub-4-sub adds UP THE ASS!

 

[JochemDude]

Chaos
A censored version of 4chan's /b/
The horror...

 

[Badassassin]

It would be awful. Youtube comments are already incredibly painful to read, giving those cretins a forum would be a terrible idea. I can imagine it now.

"THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE THE NEW YOUTUBE FORUM"
"THE DISLIKE BAR IS THE SIZE OF JUSTIN BIEBER'S PENIS LOLOLOL"
"[Insert random quote from the OP here]"
"Haha! Cool thread! If you like this thread you'll love my thread! It's a lot like this thread hurdur"

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

It would be /b/.

Except without all the porn and racist comedy.
