    Hey there everyone.

    I need your help with coming up with some ideas and some other stuff for a site that me and one of my friends are developing.

    Site = www.MadMafia.com

    The site is a tube site where people can upload their own crazy/mad videos.
    I will be adding a forum to the site also for users to talk about videos and other stuff.
    We want to try and build like a brand for the site and once we establish the site and get enough members we want sell MadMafia merchandise.

    What I want to know is what kind of issues or problems will we come across with the site(if any)
    Any ideas to market the site and ideas that you would put into the site.
    How to gain more members and keep them coming back.

    Thanks and hope you can help.
    Regards
    Waza

    The main problem with user submitted videos is that you have to constantly screen them so that they don't upload any video which is against your terms or the videos promoting terrorism, porn, hatred etc etc etc

    One way to ensure they keep coming back is to organize a contest to select the best videos and allow members to cast their votes. Organize them in different categories would also help.

    kanworjot - Yes this will be an issue but with 2 of use it may be a little easier??? maybe.
    I am going to be a little easy going with the vids but promoting terrorism, porn, hatred ect will defenetley NOT be allowed..maybe very soft porn?


    lycos - thats a great idea, and I might just use that when we get some users up.


    Anyone else want to share their views.

    You know there is a technique to find pixels in the video. This is a new technique. It works like u can block some pixel values with which when user uploads any bad content then that technique will not display the video. I think youtube is using it. I am also working on it.
