PART 1 OF THE MEGAFORCE RETROSPECTIVE IS NOW REUPLOADED!

What's nice is that looking at the list, it seems both Part 2 AND 4 are still up (Part 4 in particular it seems I attempted a reupload last year. Part 3, as well, but that one got claimed) so that's less work I have to do.

Mind you, the annoying thing is that for most of these reuploads, I have to leave them on my channel virtually forever, just privated. Deleting a video removes views from the viewcount, so with older versions it could mean a loss of 100,000+ views in a single day.

As I sadly have to keep explaining, the problem is NOT storage. ALL of History of Power Rangers is on vimeo, including the older versions of some of them (and accessible through my site). I can always find SOMEWHERE to put them.

The problem is money.

This isn't something I do for funzies - this is my job and I while it's a great job that I love doing, I put in hard work to do this stuff and I feel I deserve to earn money for said hard work.

Honestly, given the headache of ContentID stuff I SHOULD have stopped doing HOPR...

...a long time ago, but they're one of my most profitable and popular things I've ever done.

Beaten only by a single Longbox video that inexplicably has 400,000+ views on it because the algorithm decided to push it alongside a popular Marvel Zombies-related video

That being said, @AchineAn is right to promote Archive.org - it's friggin' FANTASTIC. I've found a bunch of lost media there before. Hell, all the clips from the Late Night Double Feature intro come from public domain movies hosted on there.

Ehhhh, not exactly.

There WAS a time when I basically declared "Sorry, I'm not going to try to preserve the old versions any longer." Because frankly their copyright usage and abuse is BAD because Blip rarely enforced it. The only reason they're...

...preserved now is because releasing new versions of them on Youtube slowed considerably for various reasons (ContentID being one) and I wanted people to still be able to access them.

Anyway, rendering a new version of Part 3. The good news is, like I said, last year I had already tried to edit it, so this time it's hopefully just the ONE section that got claimed and I won't need to do it again next year. XD

PART 3 NOW REUPLOADED. AGAIN.

Length of clips. It's ALWAYS length of clips. Older ones have clips that lasted too long and sometimes when they update the system they finally catch it. Other times the system makes a mistake and they THINK a clip lasts longer than it actually does.
