Concise description:

Youku video embedding

Specifics/Details:

The ability to embed Youku videos in posts, similar to the current [Youtube] function.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Will end the apartheid that excludes China-based users from adding their favorite videos to their posts.
Opens up a vast new opportunity for cultural exchange.
Greatly increases the range of videos that can be added to forum posts (Western or Asian - Youku has both)

Awaiting approval of my suggestion.

Suggestions generally take a while to wind their way through the system. It's been faster this year than in previous years, but in general I would say a week is not enough.

As step one, why don't you talk to some of the other members from China and get them to post here? It helps if there is a show of support for a suggestion.

As step two, talk to some of the people on the Tech Team and get their opinion of the feasibility. That too often helps.

Okay, I am ON THE CASE.

I was actually ready to approve it when I saw it, but I'm not sure if there exists a phpbb mod for this embed code. Googling suggested it might not be difficult though.

I also approve of this, but I don't think we need another button clogging stuff up. Would you be okay with manual support? (i.e. you have to type in [youku][/youku])

Personally I don't mind having to type it in myself, although other users wouldn't be aware that such a function existed. Could you have a drop down box, from which [youtube] and [youku] can be selected?

If that's not possible then I don't really care and am happy with manual support only.

Couldn't the system automatically recognize the link, I mean - only one button "embedd video" and it should wrap it with [video] [/video] tags and embed it. That way you could add support for Vimeo and a few other video service providers...

stupid question: don't they have youtube in hong kong? I would've thought that the chineese internet regulation would be different from the rest of the country in hk?

We should be able to embed xnxx videos too

Oh, the rules in HK are much different than in the mainland. There's a lot on Youku that's not on YouTube, though.

I wonder if embedding Youku videos would increase ConquerClub's presence in China. Embedding YouTube videos increases SEO, but I don't know how baidu handles SEO. CC isn't really built for Chinese language SEO, so I wonder how many users would actually find their way here. It might help, though.

I think the biggest problem with the Chinese market is that RISK isn't a very popular Chinese game.

If we had a mahjong side game, that would probably bring in more people.
