Mod DB is the best way to go. I only use youtube for trailers and little dev videos.

don't forget we support videos and HD is coming (it'll be retroactively applied) so upload your videos to here as well and not just youtube!

i'm pleased to see the poll so high in our favor, i think we are the only games site on the planet that gives the devs *virtual* control of the homepage and access to tens of thousands of visitors daily - appreciate the support!

I would really like to see YouTube supported directly for videos actually.

These days, if I can't view it on my phone, it's such a disappointment. Also, it's nice to just have a one-stop upload place for videos, given the size.

When's the eta on HD support?
Also, if you uploaded an HD video in the past will it be converted automatically or do you need to re-upload your HD content?

I'm pretty sure for MOST people, option one is probably Youtube. I would have separated YouTube from the social networking sites as a choice.

Yes, I did use the sites listed there, but kinda failing :)

I'm not the best PR guy, I have to admit that. Fortunately, the mod got a small community following it, so, despite being out of development for almost an year, we still have weekend matches.

However, from the first post on their [Russian Bears'] forums, they found the mod through moddb.com. Go figure :) ...

Not that I dislike ModDB, it's a great site, just not friends with the community.

I would put all the information, files and screenshots here, and videos to Youtube.
ModDB:s video player is bad in my opinion. Slow and always needs to re-buffer when I go back to beginning.

While ModDB is great, I use social networking to get a slightly larger audience. It doesnt really make a difference, but it makes me feel a little more noticed lol.

Moddb would be very effective, but using youtube is a great tool, especially when linking a youtube video to your mod here on moddb.

Not EVERY SINGLE GAMER knows about moddb, so with the use of youtube, people who are viewing random mod videos are even watching a gameplay might after clicking other related videos lead to one of your own mod videos. I have had this happen to myself before, viewing gameplay videos and then seeing a mod video.

Saturation! I've got a team handling PR but back when it was just me I used every resource available. ModDB has grown considerably over the years and is a great resource for both Mods and Indie games but it's a good idea to try and reach even further. I'm very grateful for ModDB.

That sounds about right. As a solo job I've branched out to twitter/facebook/youtube/moddb. Also dabbled in other sites like interlopers, genre specific communities etc.

Neither of the options. Will do on ModDB, but for now only on DeviantArt, and later Youtube.
