Recently, animuson was dissatisfied with his clock. Therefore, one of our illustrious members sought out an Amazon link to a clock that would solve all of animuson's needs. And this happened:
It's huge. Like, screen-shatteringly huge. It even prompted this message:

@JonChan I'd be all for it if once a month they have a fight night, where 1 employee and 1 user get in a cage and fight till Jon Skeet gets another great answer badge
@JonChan Because if every video has to pass inspection by even the mods, it will be quite different than what SE has done so far, because it won't be community-based, and will rely on either mods, or employees.
Also I think of SOTV more as a "ad hoc Dev conference about any topic on the planet" (which sounds awesome) and less of a "here's a way other than Q&A to learn" (what the meta post seems to think it's about)
Yeah I can definitely understand that issue with it, specially since it's called "SOTV" -- that's a recurrent thing we deal with a lot (e.g. snippets are currently only made with SO in mind)
@JonChan I want to be a mod on GL, but we're still in beta. There are 3 pro tems, and one hasn't done anything in months, the other hangs out sometimes, and the last does everything himself.
I think of the SOTV idea less as us expanding on new things and more as "we frequently host meet ups and small talks at the office, why not share that?"
@SilentKiller Then comments should be used to ask OP for more clarification. That is not a valid ground for CV IMO. Comments are the right tool in this case.
@J.Musser I think it's pretty cheap per person. Because you have to be competitive. But you can also get multiple people in a session, so it's better to price it cheaper for more viewers.
@J.Musser We are here to flag spam across the network on all sites, we can't see smokey and Jan's messages in SO chat. And while we are here, we close bad questions on SO too
@J.Musser I meant on GL, you have lots of rep, and only a couple of flags. On the site where I am active (SO), I have lots of flags and very less rep (3k rep, 100 flags per day, almost 2k helpful flags till now).
@InfiniteRecursion I have only 14.8k there. Wow, you have a lot of flags.
Most of my flags are obsolete comments on GL. I'm very strict with proper use of comments, also proper tagging, and making titles more descriptive and turning them into questions. And I can't stand misspelled q's or a's.

@SilentKiller You asked us to cv this, as I told you, I thought it was a valid question and wrote an answer. But users closed it for an invalid reason, so I have written a post on MSO to ask how such kind of bandwagoning of CV can be discouraged.
I just found in our chat (and other) that users:

@AndrewT. We should answer, closing as "not in scope of programming" is incorrect. In the post you linked, I agree with this - it might be a basic question, but that in itself is no reason to prevent having it asked and answered on Stack Overflow. Subsequent questions about the same thing should be duplicate linked to the original question/answer.
@InfiniteRecursion Yes, I really agree with you. In fact, I didn't find any duplicate for that question. It just reminded me with that hot-debatable feature-request.
@JanDvorak While editing, I realized what OP wants, what the OP has done from their side, and also the issue they encountered. So, I won't VTC. I don't know php, so I can't decide if the issue can be reproduced with that code or not.
