If one wants to save bandwidth or is trying not to eat up a data limit, you can actually disable signatures and images from appearing in posts, I did that during the last Record Day as I was using mobile internet at some points, and it also meant less load on the devices for pages.

But does it involve other things than DOSBox alone?

Damn, Dailymotion is just so much better than Youtube, it's crazy! I hope it becomes the standard video site in the future.

Hmm, I've trundled about Dailymotion, definitely seems like a reasonable platform, though it'll be quite the day if it ever overtook the Google controlled YouTube.

I wouldn't be so sure, didn't Yahoo buy Tumblr? I don't seem to recall any major changes or issues that came out from that.

I don't know what Yahoo would do of it, but at least they have plenty of money to invest in the company.

If Yahoo was to obtain Dailymotion, I could see a possibility of competition to Youtube.

Even with such possibility, I don't know how likely it'd be. With as big as they are now.
