Some Updates on My Personal Project - QuickVid - Imgur for Videos

So I said I would post updates on this, and I have yet to do so, so I will do it now!

Things are going okay with the site, traffic numbers are relatively still low (few hundred a day), and I'm obviously paying out of pocket to keep the server online.

There have been some uploads that were posted to Reddit that received quite a bit of traffic, and I'm hoping to see more of those in the future.

There's been a large amount of updates since I've last posted here, but some of my major achievements are the following...

- Complete site makeover and overhaul
- Added drag and drop to make it much, much, easier to upload
- Decreased upload time by 1/3 to maybe even half (still working on reducing this more)
- Rating system implemented
- Added a browse section to view public uploaded videos
- Insane amount of misc. fixes

You can check out the Reddit for all the updates at http://www.reddit.com/r/QuickVid/

And of course, the link to the site is http://quickvid.org

If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments or email me them. I'd love to hear feedback from people on this.
