Sifters,

The election is over. Obama is the president. Can we stop using this channel?

Why doncha stop your shenanigans first!

The only thing your irate responses are good for is making earwax!

You're the reason why lemmings commit suicides!



Back to the original topic. I agree with farhad. We should move election08 to the archives. It's a dead channel.

You're gonna be sorry you removed it when the 2108 election comes up.

I agree. You could have done the poll thing though.

I agree, election08 shouldn't be used on events that happen post-election that have nothing to do with the election itself.

Updates on the Al Franken/Norm Coleman case are probably the only new events that would qualify, unless there's some revelation or retrospective about the 2008 election.

Question is, do we need an election2010 and 2012 already?

Let's fix the name and call it 'ElectionSeason'?

Or just election?

I think there are still uses for Election08, but wouldn't mind it changing into "elections" or something similar.

Elections makes a lot of sense as it'll probably be a recurring theme. Much like the 80s, democracy just won't go away... You might even get some of our strange European election stuff surfacing in there, we've got EU parliament elections coming up which seem likely to be scandalous. (Look up a party called Libertas.)

I suppose the real question with this suggestion is whether this stuff should just go into politics.

I'd be for an elections channel..with EP elections coming up (yes indeed..now you know it;))
and more
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Future_elections
..but that would have to be a newly created channel, as channel names can't be changed once created.

election08 could maybe be archived in a playlist, if possible?

It was a monumental election and there are still relevant videos concerning it; an election/erection channel would be swell, though.

an election or elections channel would be grand idea, this means any policital election anywhere can be included

Yeah, just changing it to Election would seem to be wise.

Lemmings don't really commit suicide. We believe this because of a Disney movie that portrayed this event. Really it was the film crew provoking the "suicide". Which would make it a murder...

We didn't archive the *80s channel once the 80s were over.

As far as I'm concerned the 80's never ended.

This has been mentioned at least twice. Before the VS crash, I had tried to turn in elections08.

THERE IS NO POINT IN *elections!!

There are liek 10 videos that were for pre- election08 stuff. Everything else neatly falls into politics.

Playlists suffice for everything voting machine related. Or even for some Canada whatever, you could make a playlist.

I mentioned to Lucky to remove the election08 from the submit new video options. It's not clear if the invocations should be disabled.
