I have said the same several times but it appears the webmasters here could care less if you went to another site. Same goes for embedding youtube videos. Make me click over to youtube so my ADD can kick in and never return here. Seems counter productive for the site.
Probably because they know you'll come back? Especially with some 300,000+ forum members if my memory serves me right?
I've seen a few forums that allow embedding YouTube videos, but not many. I came up with a round about way of doing a popup video without having access to the forum servers, at this forum post. But just use a link to a YouTube video in a forum post myself.
I doubt there are 300k ACTIVE members. Post counts are too low for a number like that. But it irrelivent from a web master standpoint. Time on page and time on site is a number true webmasters watch. Sending a viewer off site is a no no in the web world. They even preach that at web design seminars.
My experience is different than yours. I can't think of one other forum i am a member of that doesnt do embedding. Its just good business.

When the current forum software was written, there was no advertising and no thoughts of monetizing the forum. As I stated earlier, I don't think you will see features change until the software is replaced.

I think so - all of the AGI websites have been going through a modernization - but I don't have a timeline.
