Although I'm no longer a mod for the Fan Corner I do have an idea or two.

Would it maybe be an idea for all game makers to join forces in the Fan Corner and start 'The OWF Fangame Project' with all the individuals who are now flooding FC with ideas for fan games and stuff? I have seen a lot of artists who are good at their own part of creating a game, some are good at programming, some are good at making background, etc. By working together you not only use that skill the right way but also avoid having 16.000 ideas and 32 unfinished fan games scattered around.

And lets be honest, while nicely intended, a lot of the fan games posted in FC are kind of lame and stupid. Don't get me wrong, me and a lot of others appreciate the effort someone puts into making a fan game but 9 out of 10 games posted there people play maybe once before sending it on a one way trip to the trash can. To create a decent fan made game you need a team of people, thinking you can do it alone is kind of naive. So yeah, I think creating a dedicated game project which people can contribute ideas and content to would be a nice way to solve the fan game thing.

As for videos, you could open a new forum for them or start working with prefixes for topics. Something like this:

[Video] Crazy Oddworld 5!!
[Video] Random Video lol!!
[Story] Yayz for Abez!
[Fangame] Omg another one?!

It would take a little bit of enforcing to get everyone doing this all the time but it will work after a while.

EDIT: Also, looking over the thread list a bit, there seem to be some series going on (such as Crazy Oddworld videos or stories) that could easily be thrown together in one topic instead of opening a new topic for every new video or question.
