That’s a great idea but since it’s already being done I probaly won’t do that right away. I’m also in the process of working on the Electrical series videos which will take a bit of time to get through. I do have long term plans for a series of videos that have several parts that work along those lines however but once again those are long term plans. I do appreciate the suggestion however as I’m always open to hear what the viewers are looking to see, what I do is useless without people to watch.

I like the interactive stuff too like FATR showing the communication you have with users. One thing that really surprised me when I first visited the site is that there isn’t a dedicated forum to contact you for submitting stuff like that. I would like to see a forum category for FATR contributions and another category for “Suggest a Video Topic” and stuff like that. The category we are posting in right now is meant for website feedback. It actually makes trying to get in on that fun interaction we all see in FATR’s very hard to do. I certainly don’t want to be a gib and post a video for you to check out by posting it in the wrong place on your forums. Should you have dedicated forums just for that stuff? Absolutely! It’s why I registered on the site. I figured here there would be a specific place to do that, there is not.

I do like the interaction on realfixesrealfast. One of the neat things about that is those kind of puzzles are eternal for first time viewers. I’d love to sit down and play the detective like some interactive automotive version of the Maltese Falcon. It’s great and does keep me going back there to watch more. So yeah get up some dedicated forums designed to promote interactivity with your video segments and you might find more activity on your channel and site in the long run. Just don’t burn yourself out for our sake. If you make it hard to interact on purpose because you fear being innudated with a deluge of requests and/or suggestions that’s completely understandable.
