I've tossed quite a few music videos from bands I love into Farhad's Obscure channel, and occasionally take a glance through it. The videos there don't always look to be the most appealing at first due to being so unfamiliar in content or style, but there's a ridiculous amount of, well, obscure gems in there. I can't think of a better way to congratulate you than Kronos has already done, so I'll just add a hearty agreement to that. Way to go, Farhad.

They're as light and gentle on the skin as can be, and at the low low price of only 20 star points and 5 promotes, its a practical steal!

1000 stars is amazing Farhad, you deserve the crown! I always enjoy your great sifts and insightful comments and I look forward to another 1000 stars for you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go dispose of my PR guy...

ahem ::: taps the microphone :::

Farhad, you are thoughtful, intelligent, upstanding, well read and you can be quite endearing too because I think you're a hopeless romantic. Your curiosity for just about EVERYTHING shows in the variety of content you've brought to the site. You're definitely a "big picture" person. You're an old soul.

Pardon the aunty swampy tone here, but wow... In the last couple of years, I've watched you grow from a nice "college kid" into one hell of an impressive young man. I'm glad to know you Farhad.

Oh, and congrats on the sifts.

Brat.

A long time coming, but it has finally happened! Be it taste in music, film or sentiment - I cannot think of anyone I identify with more here on the sift and certainly none other more deserving of the crown - congratulations, indeed! Now I feel even more comfortable saying: Farhad - you RULE

Incidentally, what is this new power of yours, may we ask? An inexhaustible supply of Power Points? Tripled number of queue slots? The ability to edit others' comments? IDDQD?

Thank you every for the kind words! It's been a great experience to be part of the site and see it grow over the last 2 years! Much thanks to Kronos for his post and his efforts to get me to this point! He promoted alot of my stuff! Thanks to Swampy! Its been great sharing this space!

I really am speechless at what you have said!

I would like to thank everyone because your votes made this happen (of course with a lil' but of coercion and self sift pimpage)

Am really shocked because I totally forgot how star points worked, I thought I had to sift 1000 videos before the milestone it was a nice surprise to wake up to it

I remember how in my early lurking/sifting days I kept finding all these wonderful eclectic videos you posted (and this co-inspired me to post on VideoSift and sift what I like) and I still have to see quite a few of them. I already know I could almost instantly upvote your whole catalogue:) (but I stick to the VS-principle of first having to see the video before upvoting: this also leaves me some treasure left to explore on an almost daily basis..)
So keep expanding your catalogue: feed the obscure, to complement the more common, your voice is heard and will be heard (even though the sift's growing).
Cheers/mille grazie!

I remember the days when I thought reaching 100 stars seemed impossible, but now you've gone and thrown everyone a bone by demonstrating 1000 stars can be achieved.

It's an unbelievable accomplishment and extremely well deserved. I know you comment frequently lately about how much the Sift has changed (for the worse), but I hope you hang around to tell us all what 2000 stars feels like.

Enormous congratulations! The crown fits your head quite nicely.
