What is IfGayWasCool?
IfGayWasCool is an online video streaming service that allows anyone to view and share
videos that have been uploaded by our members.
How do videos get featured?
IfGayWasCool's members rate videos they like, and we review highly-rated and
recent videos for consideration in the "Featured Videos" section
of the home page and the featured videos on the "Categories" page.
In addition, our programming team scans the site for videos of interest.
How do I join?
To become a member of IfGayWasCool, go to the "Signup",
choose a user name and password, and enter your information. Then click the "Sign
Up" button and you're done.
How do I confirm my email address?
Confirming your email address is required to perform many actions on IfGayWasCool,
such as uploading videos and posting comments. It is now part of signing
up for new members, but if you signed up prior to February 2007 and have
not yet confirmed your email address, follow these steps:
Check your email for a message from IfGayWasCool and click the link in the
email to complete the confirmation process. If you don't receive the confirmation
email within a few minutes, be sure to check your spam folder to make sure
it wasn't misfiled.
What if a user name is taken?
If a user name is taken, you may
need to get a little more creative with your user name selection. Try adding
other characters before or after the user name you wish to use—many
people add their birth year or other identifying information, like this:
Maria1972, MariaNY. You can also bracket the name with other characters like
this: xxUSERxx.
You can only use letters and numbers for your user name; no spaces or special
characters like dashes or underscores are allowed.
User names are not case-sensitive, so 123ABC will be recognized as the same
as 123abc. Therefore, if someone else has the user name you want but capitalizes
different letters than you, you still can't create that user name.
What if I forgot my username or password?
If you forgot your name and/or password, you can retrieve it by going to the signup page and clicking "forgot your password".
