The problem with using legal game footage, even promotional content, is that videos aren't actually checked for copyrighted content. They're just automatically removed by bots and the user is put through hell trying to get the video back .-. And it's not just YouTube, Blip started doing that shit too. I think still images should be okay though... and thematic images is a good idea for non-gaming stories ^^

The reviews... I can't decide on that for the reasons you've described. One advantage to Mutahar being completely uninvolved with our community is that he was able to give unbiased reviews for content from total strangers. To avoid drama, if we are to review the stories we read, I suppose we can either be unbiased, or, have several people give their biased opinion to fairly show a variety of reactions. That might be too ambitous though…

As for shitpastas, those get deleted left and right nowadays from this site. It hadn't even crossed my mind to do those but you're right, should we pull them from here, it could cause hurt feelings and drama. Hm… I'll add that and ask if we'll even do shitpastas.

You are correct, Muta would look for any excuse to further neglect his duties. We tried to get a second reader onto SOG to help him with the reading, and he declined. No amount of nagging has gotten him to cooperate so... our own channel it is .-. If it further absolves him, at least we'll be in a spot where we don't have to depend on him.
