The Vimeo staff has decided that we are no longer going to allow gaming videos on Vimeo.
Starting today (July 21st, 2008), all new gaming videos are subject to deletion. Videos uploaded before today will be hosted until September 1.

Time for a new HD DivX website... www.vreel.net

Let's see how long it takes for them to shut down from over use.

They saw AdamShannon's videos and decided enough is enough

But seriously, if they want to do that, it's their call. I guess they'll lose traffic, but probably not much. Whether that lost traffic is worth the savings on bandwidth or not, we will soon see.

its a bad move from a business standpoint.  they should enjoy the huge amount of traffic and invest in better services like bandwidth and storage capabilities... then google moves in and buys them for $$$$$.  but instead they are choosing to stay where they are which will result in eventual failure.  there are only two ways to go in business... up or down.  no middle.

brian dennehy says it best in "tommy boy"... "In auto-parts (internet video hosting), you're either growing or you're dying.  There ain't no third direction."

the best thing about this is, that there are so many wannabe artists at vimeo who congratulates them for banning gamingvideos... just take a look on those selfish gay wannabeartistpileofcrap-videos of self expression blablabla... those videos are considered as creative and worth to stay... vimeo my ass...
