Summer 2026 - Admin Election - Vote Now!
It's time to elect the 2 users who will be admins of the site in 2026 from July - December. You can vote for 2 Admins. They're listed below, click them to see their application:

pokemon x

Here's how this works

Respond to this thread with up to 2 users you think would do a great job. The more users you choose, the less weight your votes have. So if you feel really strongly about someone, then vote for just 1 user.

Here's what determines the weight of your vote

The weight of a vote depends on the user and how many votes that user makes. Users who have a high rank, been around for a long time, and have a high post count, will have a vote with more weight. This is fair because those users should have a bigger impact on the results since they're more familiar with the community and have a higher reputation compared to someone who just registered with the single purpose of altering the results.

Here's the formula for figuring out the weight of your vote:
User Level * Power Level

And if you have multiple votes, it'd look like this:
(User Level * Power Level) / Vote Count

The User Levels can be viewed from their profile and also next to their posts to the left. A User Level is based on how long a user has been here and how many posts they have.

Here's the numbers that represent each Power Level:
0 = Newbie
1 = Normal
2 = Trusted
3 = Elite
4 = Site Staff
5 = Local Mod
6 = Global Mod

Rules
-Can't vote for yourself
-Can't vote for more than 2 people
-Posts with negative ratings will be investigated and potentially ignored

Voting ends on Monday, June 29th.

24/7 Video Game Music Radio is Back!
The Video Game Music Radio is finally back after being gone for many years and this time it'll actually be 24/7.

You can find the Twitch page here:
https://www.twitch.tv/videogamemusicradio

You can find the YouTube stream on my Vizzed YouTube Channel:
Vizzed Gameplay Videos

Be sure to support the site by subscribing to both if you haven't already!



For those who don't know what the Video Game Music Radio, it's basically video game music stream that uses music from the Video Game Music Room. It has various themed events, shows screenshots, boxart and videos for each song's game, it gives info about the song, etc. There are "Any Song Request" hours where users can submit song requests that get played in the radio. Then there's the Video Game Music Trivia aspect where users can guess the name of the game the song is from and the quicker they answer correctly, the more points they get, which get added to a leaderboard that is displayed in the stream.

I not only fixed it (it had a lot of issues, and the bot didn't work) but I also made it capable of being being streamed from the server itself which means it doesn't have to be on my computer to be streamed. It being streamed from the server means it can just go for as long as the server goes and it surprisingly isn't using up very much of the server's resources, only using like 5% of the server's RAM and CPU.

The Radio Page itself has had improved functionality. For example, when you're typing in a game to answer the trivia, it'll start to auto populate, making it quicker and easier to answer. The song suggestion also got the same treatment. I've also added a "Stream Control" page for some staff members that gives them info on the stream and a few tools for updating or fixing the stream.

The 'Content Coming Soon' section will most likely be reserved for showing the latest subscriber, latest donator, etc. I might also have it highlight events that take place on Vizzed (for example, if someone gets a post spree, it'd be pretty cool if it showed that). If anyone has any ideas for other things that area could show, let me know.

I've got some future feature ideas to make this page more interactive.

If anyone has any feedback or ideas, please let me know in this thread:

Shout Out to My Patrons + New Rewards
I added a few new rewards to my Patreon Tiers

Prioritized Patron
-75% Viz Discount on Most Apps/Services

Idolized Patron
-75% Viz Discount on Most Apps/Services

Colorized Patron
-90% Viz Discount on Most Apps/Services

Stylized Patron
-100% Viz Discount on Most Apps/Services

So what are the Apps and Services? They're going to be various applications and services that will be available on Vizzed.com that could be of great value and sometimes cost money on other sites that will be located on the Applications / Services section to the site. Some of these services also put strain on the server but the server isn't being fully utilized so I wanted to find a way to put my entire server to use. I'll be adding new things from time to time and will add things that users request.

YouTube Video Downloader + MP3 Converter is the only service that we have available at the moment but it's very useful and powerful. It lets you download videos from YouTube and convert them into different sizes and even into MP3 format. It supports playlist downloads, video trimming, etc.

I wanted to give a shout out and thanks to my supporters on Patreon. Their financial support has helped out so much during a time when the site is costing more than it's making and they're the reason the site hasn't had to be significantly downgraded. I'm hoping these shout outs give them more recognition among the Vizzed community. If anyone else is interested in supporting this site (there are tons of benefits for doing so), you can help out for as little as US $2 a month here:
https://www.patreon.com/DavidAuchampach

The site currently costs around $300 to run, the Patreons are currently covering $131 of that and I'm covering the rest. I had been covering $300 a month alone until these guys stepped up (and actually $500+ a month before the server migration took place last year). The site currently has no ads (for complicated reasons) but I'll be looking into testing out ad networks in the near future.

Here are all of my current supporters:

$50 Tier
dkmec20 : New Patron! Total pledge of $50!

$25 Tier
pokemon x : Patron since April 2026, total pledge of $50!
supercool22 : On and off since 2023, total pledge of $80!
