It's just you.

Norton Anti-Virus stopped the trick downloads because of Worms when I tried to watch a couple of them.

Watch/Download the videos: when you click the Download link, the video should automatically start downloading to your computer. If you have any problems, you should instead download it manually by right-clicking the Download link, then choosing 'Save Target As'.

The auto-download function is not malicious, it just starts the video download. But it's not working properly; only seems to work once, then opens in the browser every time thereafter. Something to do with the database cache. I'm working on a different option.

"Only the Fundamental and Massive tricks are available to the public at this time. Everything else is pending a new naming/classification system, which must remain confidential until the public release. Please don't ask when it will be made public. When it's ready is all; might be a month, might be 6 months."

Sorry I think that's my fault. I promised Ellis that I would make thumbnails for all the trick videos for him and I have been slack and not got it done yet. I will get it done asap! It certaily won't be 6 months I hope!

Ellis, the site looks truly awesome

props. Hopfully it gets filled with new content, articles and videos from all the users

.
This site will go down in footbag histroy! You should be proud.

just want to say the index page is not working for some reason. Everything else works fine. If you want to see the home page, you need to click the "flipsider.com" graphic at the top or the "Home" link at the bottom of any page. I'll try to get it resolved asap.

While I'm at it, for those who haven't noticed, there are a bunch of new videos in the Gallery (Tricks & Media sections). I recommend subscribing to the gallery rss feed if you use an aggregator (or start using one if you don't already). I will most definitely not be posting here every time new videos are added, and more are coming soon.

Is the Shop ever going to sell those phatty t-shirts again?

Flipsider · Post by **Flipsider** » 25 Apr 2006 11:18

EDIT: home page fixed.

it's not a matter of the shop (or "the company") selling them; it's a matter of *me* selling them, and the answer is no, I will probably never reproduce the old flipsider shirts. If other people want to make flipsider shirts (from their own designs!) that is more than welcome, and can be sold in the shop BY USERS LIKE YOU. You guys get that Flipsider isn't supposed to be "mine" anymore, right? It just turns out I'm the only Administrator because no one has volunteered to even be an editor (moderator). Of course that will only be important once activity increases anyway, so whatever/whenever.

How would the revenues from such possible sales be split?

SELLER: 100%, ME: 0%.

A small donation from the profits is suggested to support the site (for anything sold in the shop), but otherwise people are pretty much free to do what they want. Make a shirt that says "footbag" or make a shirt that says "flipsider", it's the same thing to me. Just don't make derivative works from my logos and everything will be fine. Or if you do want to make derivative works from existing flipsider artwork, simply ask me and we'll discuss it.

Anyonw else having trouble with the codecs used for the new videos?
Personally I think that backwards compatibilty is a good thing.
