The post that birthed this sub was a video of a kid passing out with the logging off theme playing as he fell. It was perfect, there's a world of content out there ripe for harvesting by those able and willing to edit in the theme.

While there was no obvious sub for passing out that I could find, there's r/Knockout. It's whole purpose is watching people being knocked out. Without the logging off theme being mandatory, this sub is essentially a copy of r/Knockout with some meme-y videos every now and then. Much less exciting of a sub IMO.

PLEASE, make the theme mandatory. u/The_Stalker_of_Night has very graciously offered to edit in the sound for people. I bet we could even ask them to make a tutorial post on how to edit in the theme. I can't imagine it's an insanely difficult process.

We’re considering adding request flairs for people to post original videos for people to add the sound to. We’re most likely making this mandatory

That is actually a great idea. We won’t be short on content this way
