You can just attach the .sdm files to your posts here...

Who will pay for the file server? Who shall code this? How is this even necessary? Who'd actually use it? Who'd want to see 95% of Polish DodgeBall videos of them suiciding with knives?

why don't you put 5 more options to your poll!
seriously:
YES - MAYBE - NO
i wasn't gonna complain about this, thinking i was the only one bothered by polls with this many options, but i realize i'm not the only one...

anyway, I think it would be nice to have users upload .sdm demos to their profiles (with descriptions, etc) and post a link in a topic, so other users can download them and view them.  I don't know how an online storage would work where everyone uploads demos to...

Also, it'd be nice to have a browser plugin to view demos :P maybe some client-side program that loads the demo through soldat, and streams a live video.  Sounds like a minorly useful tool...

I agree with zyxstand... This is not the first time you were asked to make your polls simpler, but you never listen...
Oh well, it's your problem, not ours. :/

Anyway, this idea could be useful. Something like youtube I guess, where you could post anything from random funny videos, to tutorials and league matches. Or uh... soldat porn.
but there are some major problems:
1) Demo compatibility is horrible. Each time you update - old demos don't work anymore.
2) You can't play a demo if you don't have the required map and sceneries.

So overall it's not a bad idea, but making it work properly would be a massive project, probably as massive as remaking Soldat from scratch. :/
