'Night Of The Living Dead' - watch Romero's classic, in color(colorized) and streaming high quality avi file. Not from public video sites. You will be amazed by the image quality. Not dial-up friendly.
This post was deleted for the following reason: YOU CAN'T DO THIS HERE
It's definitely a self link, but Night of the Living Dead fell out of copyright.

The movie is in the public domain now;
As for the self link, there are no ads whatsoever, and the movie is hosted on my own paid for server;

Because the original print lacked a copywrite notice, it's considered public domain. That's one of the reasons you see so many cheap copies available commercially. Or free. (Link goes to the correct, uncolourized version.)

You will notice that the guidelines do not exempt ad-less sites. As for the server being paid-for by you, that's tautological in a self-link, isn't it?

I dont understand why all the fuss is about: I wanted to share this good movie with the community, but i did not have a place to put the web player. So i created a free infogami account to place it on.

Cool video, Vranghel. I've never seen the colorized version.
Ad-ridden or not, however, self-links are frowned upon 'round these parts.

That's what all the self-linkers say, right before they say "Bye bye, it's been good to know you."
This is not as good as the "Men Without Hats" post.
Heh. Sadly true!

In the arguable edge-cases spirit, I would say vranghel should not have his account deleted - it looks like an honest mistake.

They made a black and white film into a color one. Dark magic, mirrors, blood sacrifices, the whole process is quite technical and hard to comprehend.

What? Self-linkers ALWAYS act like this. "What? This isn't allowed? I totally didn't know!"
vranghel should certainly be banned, and this should not be posted to projects.

No, I see that. Romero's obviously a bad judge of whether Night of the Living Dead is any good, and god knows he should stop tooting his own horn.

Those comments were posted last week, interrobang. Mr Romero here is clearly taking his time with the self-linking; he has the patience of a fox or a badger or some other small, crafty animal. Best not to play into his tricksy little hands, I should think.

Hate to jump in the pile on, but this is pretty explicit, no?
Note: You read the guidelines, right? Because linking to your own site or a project you worked on in this space will result in a deletion and your account will be banned. Post it to MetaFilter Projects to announce your work instead, which was designed especially for this purpose.
I love Night of the Living Dead, and this would have made a decent post, but not as a self link.

We are big on swearing, not so much on breaking the one rule.
If you are allowed to stick around, I'd suggest spending some time in metatalk to see the kind of things that are and are not considered acceptable. It might help prevent this kind of thing from happening to you again.

I dont quite understand why there's such fuss about posting the movie to a website that has my nickname in it. I could have created a website that does not contain my nickname in it, and it couldn't have been called self-linking.
The bottom line is that i have wanted others to enjoy this great movie.

CaptMcalister nailled it. Using the blue as a load-balance diagnostic, under the auspices of a movie download, takes a serious amount of cheek. I doubt matt will enjoy that.
