Good grief the XTube site is Slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow.

I added two groups of photos and a short video earlier today and so far all that shows up on my profile page is 1/2 of the first photo group.

Hey Xtube folks, how about doing a paid membership that grants things like priority query access (alá LiveJournal) and whatever other features y'all think would attract folks. Then use all the money to upgrade and expand your server farm.

That site is so slow it's almost unwatchable. Almost. :-)

It's been like this for over a year. When I uploaded a video last year, it took almost 2 days "processing" for it become available for viewing.

I've stopped trying to watch videos live. I normally start the video, then immediately hit pause, go do something else on the computer or find the next video I want to watch, and go from there.

Xtube REALLY is pushing for folks to pay for access, but their methods all suck. (Sorry, I don't trust ccBill and won't use it.) And the online porn business doesn't endear them to most other credit card vendors. :(
