Dear KSP Forum...

*ahem*

Dear Residents of the KSP Forums,

It's now December. Less than 25 days until Christmas. How time flies.

I have a little YouTube channel called 'Bagel Rabbit.' Almost 100% of its videos now are about KSP content, and some of them show off design ideas that you may have never considered before. I love making VTOLs and detailed little craft. I have a lot of fun making and posting videos.

For Christmas this year, I would love nothing more than getting 'Bagel Rabbit' up to the 1,500-subscriber mark.

I'm not too far away from my goal, right now. I have about 1,370 subscribers and get about 150 new ones every month. But I am a little worried, as I'm not going to post many videos until my college finals are over, on December 8. I would be the happiest guy in the world if y'all could help me get to this goal.

If you watch my videos and don't want to subscribe, by all means, you don't have to. If you want to subscribe, now would be a wonderful time. And if you really like my videos, consider sharing them with friends. Everything helps.

I don't use my channel to make money; I haven't made a cent from YouTube since I started nearly two years ago, despite the fact that I could be making about $3 a day. I don't use it because I want attention, either. I make videos because I want to make other people happy. This is the reason I would love to grow my subscriber count: it could make more people happier, around the world.

Please consider watching a couple of my videos, and let me know what you think.

Here's my YouTube channel link.

Thanks for being the best community in the world!

Best,

Upsilon

None of my friends play ksp, none in my school district plays ksp that I know of... If anyone did, I would obviously recommend you... *sigh*

[montyben101]

Done. Your videos seem pretty cool

[Red Iron Crown]

I've watched and enjoyed some of your videos, and you asked very nicely. Your channel is the first I've subscribed to, Merry (early) Christmas.

[LordFerret]

That last segment on the Bagel Rabbit vid... an actual model rocket launch?!? Freakin awesome! Nice job. I used to be into model rocketry, until they changed the laws about launching them in my state. Very cool. You'll have to tell me about the equipment you used, I'd be interested in hearing.

*Edit*

Oh, and I've subscribed.

lol'd at your VTOL test vid, poor pinto! subbed.

[Thomas988]

I wish I could subscribe more than once! ;D

[Commissioner Tadpole]

I don't have a youtube account, so subscribing is something I can't do. Similarly, I don't know of any other people that play KSP and have youtube accounts, so that's out of the question. Regardless, I'll still try to boost your view counts; judging from others' opinions here, seems like it'll be interesting.

[SelectHalfling0]

I'll sub! You have done a great job with your KSP soundtrack.

[Norpo]

I don't have a youtube account, so I can't subscribe.

But I just clicked on that KSP soundtrack thread for the planets thing, and listened to 3 seconds of the Duna song before it buffered because i'm downloading an update for something.

loved all 3 seconds 10/10 would listen to another 3 seconds

EDIT: Just listened to all of it, Duna reminds me a bit of the Firefly soundtrack.

I'm up about fifteen subscribers, once again proving that the KSP Community is the best in the world. (Sorry if I'm being repetitive here.)

Alas, too few people have felt the joy of building in KSP. It's a shame, really.

Done. Your videos seem pretty cool

Thanks! I do my best to make my videos short, to the point, and fun-to-watch. I'm not sure how well this has worked, but judging by this thread's responses, I'm doing something right.

I've watched and enjoyed some of your videos, and you asked very nicely. Your channel is the first I've subscribed to, Merry (early) Christmas.

Wow! Thanks, my good sir. I feel as if I should say Merry Early Christmas to you, too... after all, you've already broken out that festive crown!

Oh, and I've subscribed.

I made a Video Wednesday with one of my rockets pretty recently. It was very gratifying (read: One of the coolest things that has ever happened to me).

I'll PM you some pictures and details on my real-life rockets sometime this week, if I don't forget. If I do forget, you have the right to send me a "Where's the stuff you promised me?!" PM.

lol'd at your VTOL test vid, poor pinto! subbed.

Again, wow! I've always been extremely impressed with your videos (especially loved the one that everyone loves, the Constellation Mars Mission one) and it's a real pleasure to have you here.

Don't worry about Pinto. We see each other in person every week, and we've got a long-lasting friendship going that involves a lot of good-natured ribbing. Oh, and I keep telling him that if he plays KSP more, he'll get better... but does he ever do it? Nooooooooooo...

I wish I could subscribe more than once! ;D

Aww, thanks Thomas988.

I don't have a youtube account, so subscribing is something I can't do. Similarly, I don't know of any other people that play KSP and have youtube accounts, so that's out of the question. Regardless, I'll still try to boost your view counts; judging from others' opinions here, seems like it'll be interesting.

As I said in the original post, everything helps, and that's a great way to help. I hope that you enjoy any of my videos that you end up coming across!

I'll sub! You have done a great job with your KSP soundtrack.

Creating the soundtracks that I've done so far was difficult but a really rewarding experience. I'm glad that you enjoyed the music I made, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

I don't have a youtube account, so I can't subscribe.

But I just clicked on that KSP soundtrack thread for the planets thing, and listened to 3 seconds of the Duna song before it buffered because i'm downloading an update for something.

Interestingly, you're not the first, second, or even third person who said something about DUNA being a bit like the Firefly soundtrack. I haven't watched any Firefly (though maybe I should) but a lot of people seem to like it, and its soundtrack too. Maybe I should listen to it for some inspiration...

Again, thank you all so much for subscribing, and for saying such unwarranted nice things about my channel! This made my day. I am grinning maybe a little too widely right now.

Bagel, you've got my vote, (subscription) Your vids are great! No one matches your zeal and enthusiasm. Please keep it up!

[DrD]

Sure why not.

edit: I'm number 1400, you're getting there.

Keep doing what you do, man. Subscribed, you design neat craft, and I fondly remember launching model rockets when I was a kid. Miss doing that, may have to get back into it.

...

Do you create KSP videos or run KSP streams? Post them here!

Alas.

I feared that this would eventually redirect to this subforum, where there are fewer viewers and commenters, and thus where this thread would not be of as much use.

I never wanted to post a KSP video or stream on this thread, and I tried my best to make that clear. I only included a channel link, and did not mention a single video I made by name, in stark contrast to every other thread posted on the 'Live from Mission Control!' subforum. My intent for this thread was a sort of public-service bulletin, to state that I would love to have a couple more subscribers. Putting this thread here means that it's more of a mismatch than it was before. General KSP is for all the threads "on topics that do not fit the forums below," which I think applies to this post.

May I inquire who moved this thread so that I can send him or her a PM? That would be much appreciated.

Bagel, you've got my vote, (subscription) Your vids are great! No one matches your zeal and enthusiasm. Please keep it up!

I'm not entirely sure why I'm so enthusiastic or have so much energy... I don't drink large amounts of caffeine or sugar, and I'm normally practically bouncing around the room. It's interesting. Anyway, thanks for the subscription and for being nice

Sure why not.

edit: I'm number 1400, you're getting there.

Wow! 1400 subscribers! Thanks y'all, I really appreciate it.

You should really fly some rockets, it's even more fun than you may have remembered it. I would recommend lurking about the Rocketry Forum for a while, it's become overrun with ads lately but there are still plenty of interesting and really cool designs to look at. Hopefully that will spark your interest again...

Hmmm. With all of this talk of voting, I'm thinking of making a KSP Video Awards competition for the entire forum. Maybe I could borrow the name of that one competition in the Challenges and call it the Oscar-B?

Of course, that thread would very likely be moved, as well, so maybe not.

Thank you, Upsilon! I will look into it. Thank you for reminding me of the fun!
