Yo so this has been bothering me for a while.

Right now VTF2 has the streams thing. It’s on ETF2L and /r/tf2 as well, I think it’s pretty good. But I’m not totally happy and had a couple of ideas. I’m pretty indifferent on them, see what you guys think.

1) Leave it as it is.
2) Subdivide into “Casting Orgs”, Competitive Players and Community Players (catchier name suggestions Welcome).
3) Merge it with TF.TV’s stream list so that VTF2/etc is just mirroring TeamFortress.tv’s stream list and linking to their site.

No real need to split it up, into comp/pub players. May want to split it into a kind of ‘VanillaTV Picks’ or something and have the ‘more regarded’ streams in there such as VTV, TF.TV and some of the pig pub streamers (STAR etc).

As for 3, there is no real reason to do this. It just seems like you want to start merging VTV and TF.TV and this is how you thought you could start the process off. But maybe that’s just how my cynical mind sees it.

There’s not that many streams usually, so simply sorting by position+amount of viewers is fine for the VTF2 stream list.

I like how the stream list on tftv has the title right next to the stream name

WiK?

Should merge it with tftvs. At any given time TFTV has double to triple the amount of streams listed.

It’s actually mostly for that. Handling the stream list is a surprisingly large amount of hassle (that I don’t mind doing if people really do want VTF2 to maintain it’s own stream list).

Thing is, if you look at TF.TV they have a LOT of streams VTF2 doesn’t and it’d be daft to sit and copy them regularly. When I started it in the first place, “what’s wrong with teamfortress.tv” was a pretty widely held opinion too.

Use tf.tv list, it’s what I use anyway because it’s more comprehensive.

Now this did make smile,

Do you think Arx has a hidden agenda? I guess his massive posts talking about everthing under the sun must show this! Though i know his hidden agenda for tonight was to go swimming after eating nandos with me….the swine!

Also; re a ‘massive’ amount of hassle; people query me, Byte or anyone else with access and we add them to the streamer list for vtf2, unless im missing something :P
