    but thanks for all the sites! video­cluster and re1ease​.net look like they’ll be my new places to go.

    Oh no… when I tried to access Ninjavideo the other day, I thought it was just tem­por­arily down… then it stayed down and Google brought me here. Sucks they shut it down. Hope­fully some of these altern­ative sites can live up to what NinjaVideo did,… thanks for the hook up. Great post. I per­son­ally would have saved them for myself in fear of other great sites being shut down… but like you said, its the internet. They can’t win. Haha!

    Thanks for the link in the art­icle linking to http://​re1ease​.net
    We have been update very reg­u­larly since sep-​2008 and allow mod­er­ated user sub­mis­sions.
    We are not same people behind ninjavideo, but some of our founding mem­bers and active con­trib­utors left their ~2008.

    Found the blog, via refferer’s. Thanks for write up. See you on the forums.

    @ Your Boy­friend
    The site went down due to a traffic spike. this has now been fixed and it’s busi­ness as usual.

    yeah, quite pos­sibly. if video­cluster didn’t get shut down by the feds, they were prob­ably shut down by their hosting com­pany. a lot of people were looking for ninjavideo replace­ments (and still are), and i’m pretty sure the spike in traffic may have been more than they could handle… gonna give it another week before removing them from the list. or until i get some offi­cial word from any of their admins.

    This is SoberJoe a cur­rent mod­er­ator at ninjavideo and I also run the cur­rent offi­cial blog http://​www​.saven​injavideo​.net. While yes the main site was taken down there was and still is a huge com­munity behind Ninja Video. We will be bringing the forum back up very soon so to find out when that hap­pens and other info check out our twitter @saveninjavideo and the blog (the link above). Those “ded­ic­ated people” are still here and in we are here to stay. Yes on the forums when a 1 post wonder asked “when are you going to post…” it was met with with a swift “read the rules and come back when your ready” but we had over 70k+ mem­bers (if I remember cor­rectly…) Most were con­trib­uters in more ways than one whether it be the CnD sec­tion or the Arts sec­tion. For any ques­tions on how to help or for more inform­a­tion on the Legal Fund feel free to con­tact me at saven­injavideo at gmail dot com

    Video­Cluster has become a premium private under­ground site for sta­bility and security reasons.

    video cluster says it has no resources so I should wait until a space becomes avail­able, and the page will auto­mat­ic­ally refresh. I wait. I wait. O joy, 2 spaces. I try again, and hey…we are free, we have no space for you, just sit there and wait…OR give us some money and you can vido­cluster forever…Megavideo is more honest about you signing up.
    I am waiting for a better replace­ment for ninjavideo.
