Our internet connection is too slow for me to watch videos. It's kind of annoying because my friends are always talking about new stuff they saw or they are sending me links to videos and I can't watch them.
It is not really about sharing links to other sites. The problem with it is that we are a site for kids as young as 9 years old (granted not many of you are that young). If someone posts a link for a site that isn't appropriate for a second/third grader to watch then we are not doing our job of keeping this site g-rated. We just do not have enough admins and mods to monitor every link people would post so it is easier to just say no links.
Thanks so much for understanding how difficult it can be for us to keep this site g-rated. You have no idea how much editing and watching the mods and admins already have to do.
