Someone point Spike in that direction.

There are a number of us looking along these lines, but more are needed! When you find a batch of these, it can be somewhat time consuming to go through.
They're all going to be zipped, so you have to open the zip file, save the *.fli file to disk and then open that in FLIVIEW (which is an excellent viewer but klutzy to use).
In non-adult offerings (such as River BBS), practically everything is going to be computer graphic animations, which do us no good. They are, however fun to watch and I certainly don't get bored looking at them. They were doing some fantastic stuff back in the day! Also, video examples found in these caches can be shown on national TV when this fight starts getting the attention it deserves.
What's needed is pre-1990 videos. The one I found is only a second long but it counts, they didn't have 30 minute files back then.
Adult BBS CD-ROM's ought to have a lot more of these as well as being more fun to go through. But someone has to do it, the only cost to you is a bit of time.
