Went there and thought it looked like an interesting site, however:After playing the Michael Palin Video without problems,
went to play the one above (SNL's Thursday's comedy skit) and halfway through, my entire system completely froze.
Only option was a 'Hard Shutdown' followed by a recovery to two hours before.

Well I hope you'll still check it out! The site can be a bit multi-media intense.
But, people are having fun over there

Larry, my only trepidation was that the account establishment process seemed to demand a sizable amount of personal identification information. I got about 3/4 through the second-level query and then decided to back out.
The privacy policy is nice and quite thorough but there seems to be a lot of players involved and I wasn't convinced that components of my account information wouldn't become accessible to some third party, even if not done overtly. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious.

The questions are totally optional and you can just leave them blank. The ONLY question that is of any private nature is "What is your birth date". And, you don't have to put your real birthdate in there if you don't want to. NO WORRIES Gil-Galad! So please, anybody interested in the site DON"T WORRY!
For everyone's info the site is on the NING network which is founded by the creator of Netscape and hosts 500,000 social networks. So it is quite well known and reputable. I'm the only "admin/moderator" and I don't see ANYBODY's personal info!
Hope that helps
Sweet, Dubaian! I hope you put a pin on the Frappr map there. Would love to have someone from Dubai represent!

I an really enjoying the site that PlayPlay set up. It is amazing that we are getting so many Mini enthusiasts from around the world
Concerning the privacy issue what I have always done is used a dummy email that only posts to my Yahoo account and it doesn't hit my at home computer.
Just my 2 cents, B.

Video Clips ???
On MSNBC.com or TodayShow, etc., could access and play SNL (or any other video) without problem.
However, on the SNL Video Site, could not play a single video, they would load,
but just display an Oxygen Blue solid image on the video screen and no data loaded either.
So evidently my system (running Firefox 1.5) has a 'thing' with pure SNL video.

I'm going to try one at my office (running Firefox) to see if there is any issue.

Well, even though I'm relieved that it's probably not my site, I'm sorry to hear that you can't watch SNL vids! Man, I watch those things all the time cuz they're just freakin hilarious. BTW, I also use Firefox and we are up to version 3.03.....that might help if you upgrade...

BTW, I also use Firefox and we are up to version 3.03.....that might help if you upgrade...Last time I checked, more than half of my 'extensions' (about 30 of them) were not compatable with Firefox-3 and only other complaint had been from AutoTrader, but it clicked through and worked fine.
