I joined way back when and mostly just read and didn't post. Was a good forum. Moving on and thanks for putting in the effort.

Very active with multiple uploads a week. Good mix of casts with focus leaning towards entertainment rather than deep strategic analysis. Runs a popular 'Insanity of Saturday' with a cast of a map followed by a live playthrough with input from the FAF community. Other uploads not FAF but often enjoyable to SC players with regular RTS reviews in the never ending quest to find a 'better Supreme Commander'. (Also well labelled, I'm serious having a clear naming convention for your casts doubles your view count).

Hi, in last case I think that the WAYBACK MACHINE is an idea.
I already put the main page as reference.

Empire • Goodbye phpBB

2020-08-11T23:27:06+02:00

In August 2011 this phpBB forum was launched (oldest post here). Back then phpBB was one of the best bulletin boards you could get for free. Now, 9 years later, the world is a different one, but somehow our forum is still frozen in time. After a lot of issues with spam, security vulnerabilities and most recently severe outages for no ovious reason, the time has come to let go of it.

A few generation of bulletin boards has passed already and we move to NodeBB now (link here).

Goodbye grandfather of FAF. We'll miss you.
And as the administrator I'd like to add: Please burn in hell, where you came from, you shitty piece of software.

We will probably archive this forum, but we don't know how yet. If you have any ideas and also skills and time to help on that please contact me.

I shoot the gameplay on new or interesting maps. Sometimes on the old ones. Format - only video clips or explanations in Russian.

Koppa, any way you could organize this list with a priority for new players? I think a lot of people who need this reference are newer to the community and would benefit from watching videos by fellahs like Heaven, speed2, Jagged, etc over Gyle first.

Slightly off topic but someone is finally doing good Total Annihilation casts. It's FFA_Postal and he used be a very creative and competitive player in the mid to late aughts. Might be of interest to some of the people on this forum. He's running through a lot of classic matches and the selection is very interesting already.

No offense and i understand your situation but i can very easily tell where it has been edited by you to a exact character.

I'll pm gently and see if he will update the list, as you were asked to do in the op if you wanted things changed.

Heaven [various] (Inactive 3 Months)
Great tutorial series, Live Streams, POV’s and other Video that are not Supcom related
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJYYaF ... vgJAqrhC2A

I like how you chose to hype heaven up more than the op post for.. some reason? (regardless of heaven content quality)

Swkoll (Inactive 3 years)
7 months inactive. Good mix.

Are you going to come back each month and update the inactivity counter?

About this list:
Caster's Get Priority Based on:
Minimum 720p. 1080p will have priority over you.
Active within last 2 months. Unless you’re on an extended leave or vacation or such I'll move inactive casters to the archive section. Best practise is to say what your upload schedule is in your videos like Gyle telling us he is moving to a new house or BRNK saying is CPU is whack and he's waiting on thermo paste. Exceptions; so far just Zock and Gyle. Zock goes through phases and Gyle has a family now and has made it clear his schedule is going to be a bit less now.

Casterlist needs to be updated again

at the moment the only caster to be relatively consistent is gyle ..

brnkoinsanity is a active player with custom games but castwise the last big thing he did was lots ... but not much casting otherwise as far as i know ...

also some of the channels don´t even exist any longer ..
