Why can't we allow HTML Code on our armorgames page? I guess that I see some of why you don't allow it, but sometimes I like to copy youtube videos, or games from other sites onto my page, that way the dont hav to click a link...do you think you could work something out? I'm sorry for not e-mailing this to John or a staff member, but I'm not supposed to giv it away...so could u answer with a post?

You mean like, an actual movie or something here?

Couldn't you just direct them to the link?

Well, it'll still work with the links. It doesn't look as cool, but it still works!

Nope, I'm not staff. Staff are usually very busy.

This isn't needed. Why do this when you can just post a link? Plus, people's abouts would be cluttered with videos. I don't like this idea very much.

I would have to guess that it comes down to space available to host a profile and the time it takes to load that profile. Every time you put up a video or whatever, it has to be saved on a server somewhere and that takes up a great deal of space (at least I would imagine). Plus even just a few videos on a profile would slow down that page's load time immensely.
If you would like to better organize the links to videos, then use BB code to explain the link, rather than having the actual link displayed. Does that make sense?

1: Styling would be thrown off and become very messy.

2: More possibilities of posting explicit content.

3: Easy to call malicious scrips and windows.
