So I am going to be running a Thunderdome soon and thought it would be good to have a thread to discuss the ins and outs of doing so.
One thing I noticed during the Shuffledome is that a lot of the youtube videos don't allow embedding so you have to open them in a new window. But they don't show you that they don't allow it until you click the play button in the thread here. I find that really annoying. In cases like that do you feel like the embeds should just be replaced with links or do you still like to see the thumbnails? Because I do see the value of still keeping the thumbnails - it sort of gives a face to each competing entry.
Also, I have an etiquette question - should a host wait to post their nominations until after someone else has? Looking at the past domes on TT3 it does seem like most hosts have waited to do that but I don't know if it is a rule - either formally or informally.
