I noticed that there's a number of bumps here that are duplicates of bumps already existing on the site. I tagged the ones that I came across as [duplicate] https://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/by_tag/2106/1

3248 - 1910
4266 - 1588
7337 - 75
8304 - 70
8705 - 8647
8706 - 8648
8708 - 8649
8711 - 8651
8712 - 8652
8721 - 8655
8723 - 8656
8725 - 8657
8726 - 8658
8727 - 8660
8730 - 8662
8731 - 8663
8733 - 8664
8735 - 8665
8737 - 8666
8738 - 8667
8740 - 8668
8741 - 8669
8742 - 8670
8743 - 8671
8744 - 8672
8745 - 8673
8746 - 8674
8747 - 8675
8748 - 8676

These are the numbers of the duplicates and the originals, put them at the end of this URL and it will take you to the bump

https://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/

Some of the duplicates have better quality than the original links, with less fuzz and distortion

4266 isn't an exact duplicate of 1588, but it's essentially the same bump just without the CN outro

3248 and 1910 are labeled as v2 and v3, which would indicate that there's some slight alteration, but other than the aforementioned quality, they appear to be the exact same bump

3248 - 1910 The newer version is from right after they switched to HD. The older version was originally a 4:3 aspect ratio that apparently our video settings are stretching to fill the player.
4266 - 1588 Again, pre-HD and post-HD; but more specifically we wanted that transition using the Noods. I miss those Noods. I'll never forget asking my son if he had seen the Star Wars Noods and the look on his face. I'd never said it out loud before :D
7337 - 75 This one was reconstructed from a wallpaper, I actually addressed it in the Disqus comments on that page. I was quite ill at the time and didn't remember how to turn it off. It's off now... it's more jagged than I recall.
8304 - 70 This is another reconstruction. I had mixed feelings about using these but this one is an improvement over the original that we have. I thought there was a third one out there somewhere...
8705 - 8647 Okay, this one is just weird. It's like it duplicated itself. The later one isn't dated and has no music info which is extremely odd for a bump of that vintage. ... I just tried the next pair and it's the same story. Looking at the remaining numbers, they're pretty sequential on both sides making me think they all have a similar story. All of them are from the last upload we did, which had something like 800 bumps stuck in the queue. Literally stuck, the whole system was malfunctioning and I don't know what crab had to do to fix it. I'll go through and turn off the unlabeled duplicates. If anything else odd turns up I'll make a note.

8708 - 8649 So it wasn't random duplication, these had different titles  :|
8711 - 8651 Different titles again  :-o
8712 - 8652
8721 - 8655
8723 - 8656
8725 - 8657
8726 - 8658
8727 - 8660
8730 - 8662
8731 - 8663
8733 - 8664
8735 - 8665
8737 - 8666
8738 - 8667
8740 - 8668
8741 - 8669
8742 - 8670
8743 - 8671
8744 - 8672
8745 - 8673
8746 - 8674
8747 - 8675
8748 - 8676


So a lot of those remaining duplicates had different titles on the second upload. I'm still blaming that snafu we had, but the way the system works I'm surprised we didn't catch it at the time.

Thank you for your time and attention.

You caught me at a bad time -

Another duplicate I noticed was ACTN Owl v2 which is just a poor quality recording, making it appear more yellowish. Also, the Let Us Take The Time To Do Your Shirts bump has a v2 listed but it was just that someone recorded it without the White Audio Cable connected. Also, AS is Your Friend v3 was just the exact same bump as v2 but recorded on the HD Channel, I notice it's different because it has the stretch filter they do for 4:3 content. I.E. the leftmost and rightmost sides are stretched more than the center. After the switch to HD, they letterboxed all the other bumps on the SD Channel, except that one, indicating that the bump itself still aired in 4:3. I have a December 2010 tape I found on eBay that indicates exactly that.
