a livestream page

[rtil]

recently i ran a poll on my deviantart asking if people thought livestreams of someone drawing/animating were boring or fun to watch. to my surprise, about 80% of the people who responded thought they were fun.

so i think i'm gonna give that a try, and it also gave me an idea. with livestream's API it's very easy to have links on other pages to people's livestreams, whether they're on or offline, and how many viewers are in there.

i know some of you have done streams in the past, most notably j's movie nights. what if there was a livestream page, where i could list all of the streams of tba members with on/off and viewer counts - and if one was online, it showed up in the top header so people would know to come on in? i know none of us stream that often, but there's always at least a few people browsing around here, and if more people knew about the streams, maybe more people would come in. what do you think?

i'd say go for it. a few people on DA have been asking for me to do this sort of thing so i might set one up too even if its just a couple a fortnight

it'd be pretty cool to not have to make a new journal/post every time a new stream starts as well

Great idea as long as I dont get banned from 7 differnt IP addresses via the chat. I mean c'mon, I'm running out of hot-spots.


Anyways



Lets do it!!!

I love watching livestreams of people arting/animating!

It's even more fun when the animators talk or interact with the viewers while they're at it~

[rtil]

alright i'm gonna do it then

if you have a livestream you'd like to be listed on this page, go ahead and post it in this topic. whenever it comes online, it will show up on the header of every page

Would I get shot if I recommended any of these people?

As for others... I wish those artists would stop deleting the link to their livestream whenever they're done. Too many artists do that for some reason.

definitely will not be adding egoraptor ever but rubberninja is a good idea

i\\\'d also prefer if they visited tba

[Hnilmik]

Gotcha~

[dilly]

but rubberninja is a good idea

oh yeah, his livestream is actually "fun" to watch, cause he sometimes calls up people on skype or talks to people from the chat via skype, which can be interesting.

[MarcK]

would anyone go to it if I opened up a livestream? :B

[rtil]

probably depends on what you'd show there
