We are considering putting up our first YouTube video and have a bunch of questions.

1 - Is there a good YouTube forum anywhere for posting questions about YouTube?

2 - What are some things we shoud be aware of or issues we should consider before posting to YouTube?

3 - Are there any dis-advantages to putting video's on YouTube we should be concerened about?

I guess we will be posting shorts for comments from other video folks, the general population, possible promotion, etc. May also post for sharing with friends & family, etc.

Thanks for any comments.

I'd do some research, Youtube isn't the only show in town.

I like the screen size in Stage6. Although, the extra render(s) are a pain.

intel i-4790k / Asus Z97 Pro / 32GB Crucial RAM / Nvidia GTX 560Ti / 500GB Samsung SSD / 256 GB Samsung SSD / 2-WDC 4TB Black HDD's / 2-WDC 1TB HDD's / 2-HP 23" Monitors / Various MIDI gear, controllers and audio interfaces

Revver puts an add at the end of the video & splits $$ with you. but i'm not sure how they work, only that a site I watch videos on to all the time uses them & the hosting has been paid for via this type of add.
