That would be really nice to have future FAF/GW updates on it. Could also feature new casters on the channel too.

videos for such a channel:

- patch notes
- gw news as many of the faf promotional videos as possible
- 1-2 casts
- gw news
- tutorials for everything

why not do that?

i think there should be a community channel where sortof tutorials are uploaded. for example the boot camp videos from gyle. and for the people that get interested there are the caster channels we all know
well and i think we as a community get some tutorials up. everyone can sit down and tell something about how to efficently use the auroras range. then some pro overwatches it and we could get a proper community channel up
edit: i think the whole community should act as one clan ( if it isnt doing so already)

I can add it to wordpress.

But I'm not sure that the casters want to give up their own page.

Ok, so it looks like if Zep has time he can implement the Google Direct API to enable people to directly upload to a community channel (with pending admin authorisation).

Partnership won't mean they control which videos have ads. It does give you a slight amount of protection from malicious botting or copyright strikes. However yes, they certainly won't help promote your channel.

Let's talk about a community channel, we could get our casters to upload to it to promote individual casters and perhaps for special videos for FAF promotion. Sending one person the videos to upload could be time consuming and could reduce video quality. Perhaps if we only allow very trusted casters to have access to the community account then they can upload directly to it.

I think getting a general FAF youtube channel might be a good thing.
Getting Gyle stuck with a partnership with machinima is probably a bad thing. His subscriber numbers have been very impressive lately and there is no need to attach to some large behemoth be forced to play ads on videos and then give half the profits to a 3rd party.
I seriously doubt that many players who regularly watch machinima channels would be interested in supcom fa so gyle wouldn't get much help, but would give up a lot.

The better choice would be to keep the supcom FA network going unofficially. One thing that people must recognize, is that when you become a partner you lose the ability to control whether or not ads are played on your video and that in turn limits what kind of content you will be willing to put into your videos, for example background music.

In my opinion Supcom FA channels should stay independent and help eachother out. We should also encourage our casters to branch out into other games and we should help the upcoming casters with subscribers and exposure as well as criticism. We have FAF, we don't need a partnership to tell us what to do.
