Alright guys, you overwhelmingly voted for us to ban "famous videos" from being reposted (and have them displayed somewhere on the site so newbies can see them). Here's my list of "famous videos" (I know that term is a little vague, but you can generally tell what videos are constantly "in-demand" so to speak). Through my autism, I managed to find higher-quality versions of multiple of these videos, so I'm gonna upload them right now so you guys can get the best WPD viewing experience possible
Here's the (tentative) list right now:

TO ANY DILIGENT AUTISTS OUT THERE: If you manage to find a higher-quality version (including unwatermarked versions of currently watermarked versions) of any "famous videos" I end up going with, post it and you are entitled to 1000 MB compensation and you'll have your post featured in the "famous videos" list!
Oh yeah and if you want a video added/removed from the list let me know and I'll consider that too.
Finally, the poll! Some people suggested that there be a new "Famous" flair to put these videos instead of putting them in the sidebar under the rules. Which one would you guys like more? I'm not guaranteed to pick the option you guys voted for more, this is just me getting a feel for what you want.

What about videos people not necesserily ask about often, but can recall (not always correctly) seeing and are also classic? Sometimes they don't know names even. E.g., Tukhchar massacre is still messed up with chechclear, ofex, non-existent videos from vague memories etc. (possibly also with Argun Gorge 2000 from 2nd Chechen war). I thought about adding some videos not a links only, but with thumbnails. Peoeple may not even be able to remember the name or spell it correctly. Or there are few names, some descriptive, so thumbnails/ss would be better then.

This is mainly for videos that are requested/reposted often. While having a section dedicated to those kinds of videos would be nice, I don't see how it could fit into our current site layout.

Oh, can be just an addition to some separate post with the list. Sidebar would only include these basic ones.
