how did you find me on youtube?
Elementary, my dear Watson. I clicked the "website" link on your profile, which took me to your website. The front page of that site has the line about "I'm commanderblahblah on youtube". No link though. From there, I clicked on the "films" link and saw the embedded film that doesn't show up. No link there either. Finally, after clicking around for a bit, I found the link to your youtube channel in the "links" section of your site.
If you want people to watch your stuff on youtube, you need to make it easier than that.
Anyway, Youtube is dumb, they let FF101 be a partner, and not any of the top notch Brickfilmers.
Youtube doesn't care about film quality - they want people with lots of subscribers/views for the partner program because that's how ad revenue gets generated. Several top notch brickfilmers are partners, but only because they have a lot of views on their films. FF101 is a partner because he's actually pretty smart - make a ton of crappy quick brickfilms with hot search terms like "star wars" and "batman", get the views and subscriptions up nice and high, become a partner, then release a bunch of talking-to-the-camera videos to make the money off of.

They do care a bit about quality of content. It's one of the listed criteria.

What the f-?
That is without doubt the worst channel I have ever seen.
Anyway, I think FF101 makes pretty watchable films. I could can sit through them.
That's a lot, y'know.

OMG. I hate the forrestfire101 fans, that think he is so! great. I was just on Emma's channel on YT, and some kid was like: Your animation is okay, but not as good as Forrestfire101. Teehee!
I told him off after. lol
http://www.youtube.com/user/legoland66 -This guy seriously needs to get his account closed.
He's not claiming to have made the films and he's left the paganomation.com url in the video. I don't see the problem with this one unless you guys really believe that all youtube users should be restricted to only posting their own creations. There'd be far fewer music videos and movie trailers and things on there if that was the case.
That actually IS what I believe, and this isn't merely a matter of giving David more exposure, because David has his own YouTube account.

Yep, that was me...I don't know what I was thinking. Even though I said that their animation is about the same, not that FF's was better than hers. I still apologize for writing such a rude comment to her profile.
I think the main criteria for being a partner is that you must have a lot of subscribers. I sent in a good application and they said no. I have plenty of fans and plenty of subscriptions. Plus my films get a lot of views.
*sigh* I need to start counting how often I say this.
It's true, subscribers are not part of the main criteria, the most important thing being your average view count, generally around a couple thousand hits per video. (if any of you would bother to read the Partnership page in its entirety, you'd know this) However, with that said, subscriber count does indirectly affect your view count, which affects your selection as a potential candidate for the Partnership Program. The more subscribers you have, the more people are notified each time you upload a film, the more hits your videos will receive on average. So, in a way, although YouTube doesn't judge your channel based on subscriber count, it definitely helps to have them.
I don't think you meant to be rude...
Maybe a little ignorant or 'youtubeish', but that's something else
Hehe....Thanks I guess...
MAV, sorry for freakin' out.
Care to explain why?
