my gift to xoutpost.com

[crosvs]

Dear xoutpost.com community-

I have a little gift for all of you that I've been working on now and then in between studying for the past couple weeks or so.

I've only been a member for a few months, but it hasn't taken long to recognize not only the invaluable information you all have to offer, but also the breadth of fascinating, courteous, and generous people with whom I've had the pleasure to speak thus far.

I'm sure all of you have seen many of the m5board.com members' videos hosted by google video. After watching one too many of their videos one day, something suddenly struck me: how is it that the majority of the videos posted by their members all begin with a uniform opening logo animation broadcasting the m5board.com name? Moreover, what's with the shameless use of the Universal Studios fanfare?!

While feeling a bit let down at the impressive display of online family demonstrated by this uniformity of online video production, I felt even more annoyed: why didn't *WE* have such an opening xoutpost.com animation logo attached in front of all of OUR members' videos? And so it got me thinking: why not just post a small, 10-second clip for users to download and attach to the front of all their videos?!

Well, without further ado, I present to you my own little creation as my simple way of saying "Thank you" to all of you who not only make this community possible, but to those of you who continue to contribute and add to this unique little place of international unity all alone on the Net.

THE xoutpost.com 10-SECOND OPENING TITLE ANIMATION!!

PLEASE START ATTACHING THIS OPENING TO THE START OF ALL YOUR ONLINE VIDEOS!!
