"'SVS Rocks!' It's the best Supernatural vidding site around. The best thing about it is its sense of community. It's not just about posting and watching top class fan videos, but also a place to seek advice, get excellent constructive feedback, make contact with fellow vidders, win shiny awards, enter wicked challenges and feel loved!" [Ash48]
"Nervous or shy about being a new vidder? Don't be! Everyone, regardless of their vidding experience will find themselves at home at SVS. It's one of the things I love most--the diversity--the likes of which are celebrated in all their forms. In a creative drought? The motivational and fun monthly challenges are sure to cure that! Surrounded by such friendly and generous people, no one's ever at a loss for some words of encouragement, constructive feedback or help/tips, ensuring we’re constantly learning from and inspiring one another. That I'm able to combine two of my passions: Supernatural and vidding in the one place, it doesn’t get much better than that." [coastal5]
"I've visited a lot of forums over the years and SVS is rare in that the members and staff make new members feel very welcome. It's easy for people to join the group here and feel like part of the family. Another big plus for SVS, in my opinion, is that the staff keeps it extremely organized and up-to-date. Challenges and events are always kept on schedule and everything is easy to find. It's very much a "community". The staff often asks for opinions and ideas from the members which makes everyone feel involved and appreciated in the up-keep of the site. The board is also kept "clean" and friendly for people of all nationalities and ages which is wonderful. Most importantly, there is a multitude of love for the show Supernatural and its cast. The forum provides a place for you to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who understand why you feel the need to vid and discuss the show. Without a doubt, Supernatural Video Station is my favorite forum on the web." [CrystalSC]
"I don't get to visit SVS as much as I'd like, but no matter how long it's been since my last visit, I never feel out of place. The members and staff are some of the nicest people around and do everything they can to make you feel welcome, not only when you're a newbie, but all the time. I must admit, at first I was timid. I got worried that asking questions would get on people's nerves and that I shouldn't input my opinion because I'd not been around for long, but that's not the case here. Questions are welcomed and politely answered by staff and members alike. Everyone's willing to lend a helping hand when you have a problem and you don't feel stupid for asking. You learn so much here and get to meet so many wonderful people. It's a lovely place to be <3" [Dark-Huntress]
"SVS is a wonderful avenue through which vidders from all over the globe can unite and freely discuss about, explore, and garner skills they already have, as well as skills that they can aquire. Never once did I feel out of place or unwelcome here because the members on this board create a family-like atmosphere full of genuine respect and love. What I have specifically gotten out of SVS are new friends, a different and more complete appreciation of what it means to vid, and an escape from daily stresses. I have gained a new critical eye for videos and can now fully see what exactly vidders put into their videos that make them special and amazing. Not only vidding-wise, as a general forum for Supernatural fans, this message board encourages mature and thoughtful discussions about every aspect of the show. There's no message board like SVS, and I would welcome anyone and everyone to sign up if they haven't already! You won't regret it!" [dorkinessguru]
"SVS helps me to reach my full potential as a vidder. The monthly challenges are always awesome! Everyone really knows the vidding craft well and all of their critiques are really helpful! Everyone's so nice too! I LOVE YOU ALL!" [Gentlesideoffury]
"SVS is for everyone. If you're not a vidder, but you want to become one--go there. If you're a vidder and you want to share you work--go there. If you want to talk to vidders from all over the world--go there. If you want to share your other artwork--go there. If you want to improve your vidding skills or share your own vidding secrets--go there. SVS is for everyone." [Loki]
"Supernatural Video Station is a dream come true for anyone who enjoys videos with all levels of talent, effort and great lookin' guys on screen 24/7. ;) I have never been to a forum where I felt so immediately welcomed by the members and the staff. My first submission here clocked up great comments that absolutely made my day. We were all once 'newbies' yet no one is ever treated as such. Everyone here is so, SO friendly and willing to lend a hand. Need a beta? You got it. Need some extra feedback? You got it. Need to explode about the latest episodes or how annoying those Gossip Girls watermarks are? Check and mate. We're all equals and most of us can relate with the "Oh, I've been there" whether it be those moments of crashing external hardrives or Windows Movie Maker going bonkers. I have learned so much as a vidder and still am! It's definitely the site--the people--that keeps on giving. It's a place where I can chill, have some great conversations that vary from what's your thought of the day to intense Winchester meta to random spazzy spam! I'm happy to call SVS my home away from home." [NYCalls0909]
"SVS is a such a great place. The reason I love it so much is because the vidders' challenges and the feedback I get from the viewers helps me improve my vidding skills and get better with video. It's such a positive environment here and it doesn't matter what skill level you are. You are guaranteed to make friends and have fun!" [phoenix39]
"SVS is one of the best Supernatural sites on the web. The members of SVS become your friends right away. They are the most caring and sweet people you could ever find or want to know. There is always someone to help you if you need any advice at all, even if it's not Supernatural-related. Soon, you realize they are not your friends anymore. They have become a part of your family. There is only one Supernatural site I recommend to other Supernatural fans: SVS!" [poemprophet]
"SVS is, without a doubt, the friendliest and most welcoming forum I've ever been a part of. With some of the friendliest, most helpful & talented people in the vidding community, why wouldn't you want to be a part of it? Everyone has the opportunity, the help and the encouragement to learn and grow as a vidder, and it's hard not to feel inspired and involved when surrounded by people who are so helpful and talented. And if making videos isn't your thing, there's plenty more to do. From watching and commenting on your favourite videos, to posting your art and fanfictions, from discussing every aspect of Supernatural or simply having general conversation with friendly and like-minded people, everyone has the chance to get involved. SVS really is the place to be!" [Rachiefish]
"SVS is the greatest and most-welcoming community for SPN fans and vidders. The mods are very helpful and professional and the members are welcoming and supportive. You don't have to worry about fitting in--from the very first visit here you'll be treated like an equal. It's the best place to improve your vidding skills, share your love for SPN with other fans, make new friends and find help when you need it. No matter how old you are, where are you from, how long you've been into vidding or how often you post--you will always be welcomed here. What I like most about this forum is that people don't post here to show off their vidding skills--they are interested in each others work. Sharing knowledge and experience and helping others--this is what this place is about. Any Supernatural fan will feel at home at SVS." [sugarfree]
"SVS is honestly the place I was searching for to help me learn and improve my vidding skills. What has impressed me most about this site is how friendly, helpful, and supportive everyone is to each other here. No one is a stranger. No question is too insignificant to be answered and you usually get answers to your question so fast it will make your head spin. While it's primarily a vidding site, it offers so much more. There are threads for everything from sharing your graphics, fanfics, and other fandom vids to meta discussions or ranting and/or squeeing over the latest episode of SPN. Everyone's very respectful to each other here so no one has to worry about spoilers, but if you like to be spoiled then head on over to the spoiler section. I've made lots of wonderful friends here and, although I'm still learning, I've already learned and improved so much as a vidder from all the terrific help and critique I've received since joining. This is the only site that I visit every single day." [tigger325]
"Everyone on SVS is so warm and welcoming, no matter where you're from or what age you are. You never feel out of place when you come here, and everyone is part of the big SVS "family". Videos are always really fresh and entertaining and the help section is really useful for both new and old vidders. There is always someone on hand to give you tips and pointers! All the mods and members are awesome." [Tint]
