It is probably not necessary to list these rules, since most posts are already following them, but I will set them down anyway.
You will need a video. In your video:
You must use the butt-ugliest texture pack you can find. It cannot be obvious what any block actually is, and all blocks used in your design must have extra-busy textures and look as if they have been sprayed with a mixture of oil and grit.
You must film at night, or indoors, or at the very least, turn the brightness way down.
If you are more than twelve years old you must recruit your neighbor's pre-teen son to narrate your video, or gargle kerosene until your voice is breaking like the wind at a taco convention.
Drink some coffee or drop some speed before filming. Keep the camera in motion at all times, focusing on random objects, so the viewer doesn't become bored or complacent.
Do not even THINK about what you are going to say. Spontaneity is ... uhhh ... probably ... uhhhh ... well, you know ... whatever.
Resist all temptation to view your video after you finish it. You may be misled into saying, "What a load of rubbish! I should probably do this over again."
Avoid simplicity! Your minecart system must cover at least an acre and perform every foreseeable function, such as making coffee for passengers and sending overflow carts off to someone else's world save. It must look as though it would function perfectly well without you and that passengers are a glitch that will be eliminated in 1.7.
You must completely ignore the fact that your system is a minor variation on half a dozen existing designs and speak with the firm knowledge that your system is the RIGHT way to do it and all other systems are sad failures.
Leave out important points about your design so that viewers will be forced to ask questions, thus keeping your post alive. In the same vein, you must reply personally to every comment, whether it's warranted or not. Bump is thy law!!!
Great! You're doing fine. Now rest up for a day, then change one block in your design and post it as a revision. Staying alive!!!
I know I'm preaching to the choir. You're all already doing a wonderful job following these rules already. Keep up the good work!!!

I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to. - J. R. "Bob" Dobbs
I agree. This is exactly what I did for mine, and it worked beautifully! (The sad thing, is that I actually did do this for my station. I'm considering deleting the video, but I'm really awkward and it is now useless in 1.6, as it uses glitch-boosters.)

No you didn't, because TNT damage doesn't stack.

Im glad to see that you clearly have read the rules of the forum. Maybe you should try the suggestions forum?
Because this just looks like a long rant about someone fed up with the videos he's seen..
maybe you should make your own video instead of raging at how other players choose to do theirs?

Get out there, kick the clutch, catch that rear end, and feel it.
