New XDA video. What do you think? - About xda-developers.com

What do you think about the new XDA welcome video guys?
Here is the link for the NEW video.
Here is the link for the OLD video.
I added a poll to gather the opinions of other members.

Old one was better in my opinion.

They showed a link in the upper left corner of a page to a "guide for new users", yet I can't seem to find any pages or links like that. Never mind, I found it by logging out, going to the forum homepage. Not my guide.

I also like the old one better, but this one is made to welcome new users instead of scaring them away.

You guys are quick.
The welcome video is for guests that have never been to XDA before...we wanted to show them how to use the site before using it. We'll also continue to link to the original "you are a Noob" video. :highfive:

I think it is a good idea sir. To give new or aspiring members the sense of welcome ness to join XDA and contribute what they are capable of.

Just a little idea, make the video private so that only those with the link can see it, then put the link in the 'You are a noob on XDA-Developers' video. That way, they have to watch that video before seeing this one
And yeah, preferred the old one obviously.

dude new one is good but old one was quiet better

This isn't like you..you were never like this in the Eris forums. You came in this thread looking to start something. He was letting you know the one you posted wasn't for 2.3.5 and was right. Please don't stir things up. We give our moderator a hard enough time anyway.

Didn't come to start ****, i can tell ya that. but i suppose trolls will troll and all that jazz whatever makes threads all warm and fuzzy. p.s. how was i supposed to know the cm wiki wouldn't be updated. last time i saw gapps leaked it was a fake. still don't feel guilty, and you're not getting cookies from me for that one.

LOL, that is so wierd you said that Indrid. As I was just wondering the same thing today. I was checking out a few peoples info and I noticed the same thing. who is this nirose guy? So I looked him up and he has zero posts. Nor is he listed as a moderator. I do remember though that he was the first person who visited my page. I wonder if its like a tom from myspace thing. Either way kinda creepy.

Remarqued the same thing.
And the most curious is not that he had visited a lot of profiles (he does what he wants OR more likely he is a bot), but that without any post (so no reason a priori to check his profile) his profile has more than 11 000 visites
(Yep I'm adding somes with this link, and somes of us are curious, but this number seems very hight though)
Probably an Apple developer looking for ideas to steal.
He (she?) says he's a tech blogger. Maybe he just lurks around for good stories?

I laughed when I saw this thread come back to life.
Who the fuk in Nirose??
Think about it, guys...
He(or she)'s got to be either a Mod or a troll/flamer that uses "nirose" as a throwaway account so he can check you out without you being able to link his curiosity to any "regular" user. So, it could be anyone, really: the fact that he has zero posts only means that he does all of his/her "real postings" under the true account.
(At least, that's my interpretation of the whole thing.)

i've not been active until just now since the board is all open for guests. i love the forums and have always been here just not logged in.
The profile thing was just a test bot wandering around profiles a long time ago. No spam and harm intended. it isn't active anymore.
Lots of PM's received of which few from mods as well.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. lOl
