Are You A Soundtrack Fan?
Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my RSS feed yet? Make sure you don't miss anything by getting all Soundtrack Geek posts by Email. Also check out Soundtrack Fans, a new social network for soundtrack fans. Thanks for visiting!
I guess you are, or you wouldn’t be reading this now would you? The reason I ask is because I have just launched a social network for Soundtrack Fans. Think of it like Facebook meets Soundtrackgeek, add a little MySpace and a dash of YouTube, oh and Last.FM.
There are many reasons why I have done this, and in fact Soundtrack Fans has been online for a while. Over 6 months in fact. I haven’t touched it n a while, because I have had so much on my plate, but there are already members there as you can see in my sidebar to the right below the recent posts.
So why now? Why create it over 6 months ago and just leave it dormant? Well something happened today that made me take action and it was the dreaded YouTube. As you may know, I’ve been using YouTube to make videos and previews of all the soundtrack reviews etc. Well NO MORE! You heard me! I have a love/hate relationship with YouTube. I love all the great stuff you can find there, but when they don’t play by their own rules they can be troublesome. In fact this morning when I logged on, I couldn’t and here’s why: Soundtrackgeek on YouTube. Did you notice the nice text in mesmerizing pink? This account is suspended. Wonderful I thought! Well it so happens that someone reported me (I won’t mention names) and YouTube without warning just suspended my account.
So what does it mean? It means my almost 400 videos are gone, so are all the previews on my reviews and my old score of the day project. Which brings me back to Soundtrack Fans. Within that site, I have about 1000MB of storage space for videos, so I will reupload everything I can and use the videos from my own social network on Soundtrackgeek.com.
Here’s the best part. You can upload videos too! In fact, I want you to. Just go to SoundtrackFans.Com and join and create discussions, upload music and videos, create groups and make friends with soundtrack fans as yourself. So I ask again… Are you a soundtrack fan? If the answer is yes go to:

I assume stuff is backed up. I can understand but YouTube would normally just mute the audio track? Also, YouTube would not tell you who reported you (unless this guy sent an e-mail to you saying he did?).

Well, I’ve read about it and they do keep the videos for a little while, then all is deleted. When the account is suspended all videos are suspended as well, so it’s the same thing. Contacted them, but we’ll see what happens. Either way, even if I do get my account back, I Won’t upload there anymore.
I know who reported me (it was a company), but usually YouTube let me fix the problem before they do something drastic.
I do have all videos on my harddisk so I Will upload them to soundtrackfans.com and eventually fix the previews on this site.

Greatness!
