i went looking for the general instruction that says vids have to be new and recorded for the season... and couldn't find it! but it's definitely been a given ever since i started on the seasons, and many hosts mention this requirement in their intro. back in the day we often used to have a bonus playlist, and if people had an old vid that fitted the week, they could post it and it would be added to the bonus playlist. i've had people not tick key requirements that i've asked for when i've hosted, things to do with the theme and what songs fit it (and indeed have mucked this sort of thing up myself in other seasons when just participating!), and most of the time as host i've just added the vid to the season playlist anyway, but not counted the vid in my picks for end of season prizes. the other thing we can do if we realise we've mucked up and a song doesn't fit, or we have an old vid that fits that we'd like to share again, is bung it on the island of misfit seasonistas thread. do you have a link, mike, to that main thread where it says a recording could be from anytime?
