"This Day in Rhett and Link History" feature

Hi, I asked about this before on Twitter to the Kommunity handle, but I want to bring it up here in the Kommunity forums.

I'd really like to see a "This Day in Rhett and Link History" feature, regularly posted here and other social media platforms. If the mods are too busy to do it, I would love to start it! For now, it would be a daily post of links to videos that were published/uploaded to (and available on) Youtube like this:

"THIS DAY IN RHETT AND LINK HISTORY!!

Nov 19, 2014: GMM 574: “Taco Vs. Burrito - Debate-O-Rama” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79I7_vkwaeg

Nov 19, 2013: “Rhett and Link: Facerocker #31” podcast by RocketJump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce7NojypTGo

Nov 19, 2012: GMM 205: “Public Restroom Hotel Room” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s2anwmG7rU

Nov 19, 2008: “I Clogged Your Toilet (Surrogate Sharers Ep.5)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CNg8WSlUjg

Nov 19, 2007: “Reading Rainbow Theme Song (ode to LeVar Burton)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApLTDoJea2Q

BYMB! "

(I couldn't find anything for the years 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2006. And I promise, I doubled to make sure the dates were correct for each video.)

Feel free to post this tomorrow (Nov 19, 2015), but please credit where credit is due. :)

We could probably also include other things like posts, pics, random videos from other sites, and podcasts posted by R&L from the past, places/videos where they made guest appearances, or random facts about them, based on the date of the occurrence (like weddings, child births, special events, etc), if needed/wanted. And decide when the best time to post it is, or post multiple times a day to make sure it's seen?

This kind of stuff is probably posted by tons of people and on various sites, but it'd be nice to see it in a more concise fashion. Plus, plenty of other fanbases do this with their favorite films like Harry Potter on Facebook, tv series like MST3K, and favorite bands, etc. For as long as R&L have been on youtube, and their Ten Year Anniversary is coming up in 2016, this would be cool to see and I'm sure other Mythical Beasts and newer fans would love it! Thanks!

For the forum, I think just the "Official Rhett and Link Fan Forum" category makes sense.

You can also consider putting them in blog posts instead of the forum, because those tend to work for hosting a series of posts and can be easier for people to search. I find that the blog option groups posts a little more clearly than the vast sea of existing forum threads.

(And if we feature your history posts on a rotating basis each day, the blog posts show up right at the top of the Kommunity home page. ;) )

Would anyone be willing to assist me in these posts? I'm feeling like, as much as I'm enjoying it & digging up old videos, I didn't realize how much time it takes to do this, and I'm trying to get a bunch done ahead of time, so I don't forget nights to post. I also have finals coming up soon and I need to take some time to try to get to where I want to go with school and my career.

Would someone be willing to help w/ the posts? I have a google doc I work from, which I can share with whoever's email, and I suggest we could just trade by the week, which seems a bit more feasible and leaves breathing room for a social life. :) I appreciate it. It doesn't have to be a K-Mod, since y'all are probably super busy, too. But probably someone who's organized and likes making lists.

I also have some sources listed in my google doc, so you don't have to fly all over the place looking for stuff, although that may happen from time to time.

I would love to help out! Organizing and lists are fun. :) Especially if you need study time for finals, cause I know how stressful that can be.

Thanks, Sarah! I'd love the help! You can see on my blog posts how I've got the structure set up. I don't put the current year since we're already in it. I figure we could trade doing the posts by week.

What's your email so I can share the google doc w/ you? (private message me)
