Re: Post something good from youtube!
I really don't post on youtube but just noticed a channel I had created had two 14 year old private videos I uploaded back in 2010. Pretty old for youtube.
This thread goes all the way back 17-18 years to the very early days of youtube.
It would have been so much better with embedded videos!
