NinjaVideo Alternatives

I've decided to help compile a list of alternatives to NinjaVideo for those of you who are fed up with it.

Just list your favorite alternative in the comments section and when I have time I'll go through them and post the best ones in this top post.

Ninjavideo's Phara Unmasked

I know that many people out there, including myself, have been wondering what the real Phara looks like. Well I have the pics here for everyone in the world to see. These pictures were posted by the great Phara herself for an old video uploaders site that she used to be affiliated with before she started Ninjavideo. She is not the only one who is affiliated with Ninjavideo now that has their roots in that old video uploading site. The all powerful Afr1ka also posted on the older site, among others, before they had their falling out and went solely to Ninjavideo.

Well I hope that you appreciate the work I did in order to track these down. They are quite a few years old (at least one dates back to 2001), but I believe that they will suffice, for now. Like always, leave your thoughts in the comments section.

New Ninjavideo Helper Applet

Ninjavideo.net has just released a brand new version of their Ninjavideo Helper Applet.   This most likely accounts for why the site was down for a brief period of time earlier today.   The applet is still in 'beta' and is now at version 0.3.9.  One of the biggest changes that comes with the new version of this applet is the addition of a captcha code that must be entered before watching any of the videos.  This will clearly be a new pain in the butt to go with the increasing list of pain in the butts that seems to come with Ninjavideo.net these days.  

Ninjavideo is claiming that this new helper should provide 'instant and super fast buffering.'  There are still many bugs with this new version.  Ninjavideo is now claiming that you must wait a certain amount of time between entering the captcha and actually pressing play.  It is important to wait this period before pressing play, otherwise the video will not work.

Probably the biggest disappointment with the new helper is what seems to be the disappearance of the grey download link that used to be in the upper left corner of videos.  This used to be a great and hassle free way of downloading movies for viewing later.  Upon first inspection upon the site after the update, it seems that this link is gone.  It is still available in some of the video pages, however, it is not available on the test video page for the new helper.  Hopefully, this is only a glitch and will not be a new adoption.  

NinjaVideo.net is Down

This is what you get from Ninjavideo.net when visiting their site right now. I do not doubt however that they will fix it, but I guess their "awesome" admins didn't see this happening.

The site says that the Service is Temporarily Unavailable.  The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems.  If you have anything to say leave it in the comments.  

Thanks

NinjaVideo Virus?

While doing some research for Ninjavideo Sucks, I came across an alarming post on Yahoo Answers. The person describes their experience with Ninjavideo and goes on to explain that Ninjavideo had infected his/her computer with adware/spyware and maybe even a virus. The person goes on to elaborate on the effects that the Virus had on their computer. They go on to say that they think that it was the applet that had done this to their computer. Here is a screen shot of their entry. If anyone else has had these effects on their computers or would just like to comment on the situation, feel free to discuss in the comment section.

NinjaVideo Helper Applet

Many have searched out there to discover what the Ninjavideo Helper actually does. There are different theories out there, but none of them have been proved or substantiated in any way so I will not spend time here to go over those ideas. There seems to be no real need for the Helper and all it seems to do is create problems for the users of the site by its sometimes lack of reliability. However, to be fair, the Helper does not seem to be doing anything detrimental either. It just seems that it is one more way that the admins of the site can express their need to maintain tyrannical control over their site. If there are any theories that you have come up with please feel free to share them in the comments section.

Thanks

The Lost Citizen Debacle

NinjaVideo has now taken into the habit of redirecting all users from their main site to a new website that one of their moderators are associated with. Literally within seconds of going on ninjavideo.net, you will be redirected to the Lost Citizen. This is just another example of the blatant disregard that the NinjaVideo moderators have for their users.

Here are some comments from their forums for your viewing pleasure. As always you are encouraged to leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Speak the Truth and be Banned!

Very few on the NinjaVideo forums are brave enough to speak the truth. Here is a classic post that was taken down by Phara and then put up again, only so that her legion of 'followers' could spew there hatred towards him and so that they could praise the oh so great Phara. Of course he was also banned.

Hypocrisy

Here is an example of how Ninjavideo treats people who give feedback on their site, even though they say they welcome feedback.  All they look for is ass kissing.

Ninjavideo Sucks

The purpose of this blog is just to help air out our grievances over the online streaming site Ninjavideo.net.  It is very common knowledge to those who frequent Ninjavideo that anything that criticizes their site in anyway just results in a hard IP ban.  They say that they welcome criticisms, improvements, and ideas, but all they really want is admiration and anything else will get you pounced on by the admins and ninjavideo and their blind followers.  

Don't get me wrong, ninjavideo is still a decent site, but it used to be so much better, but it has gone very far down in quality from even a year ago.  

Anyone who comes to this blog is welcome to say what they like or hate about ninjavideo or just to say what they would change.  Maybe one day Phara will pull her head out of her ass and come across this blog and read the comments to see what people who are unafraid will say how they really feel about ninjavideo.
