have you ever thought about applying for a machinima partnership?... i mean, i think you fit the general guidelines

[LegoGuy]

That would help with the promotion of FAF....

I got declined a while ago. Gyle however has a better chance to get accepted into Machinima IMO. He gets 15+ subscribers a day average and 1,700+ views daily. According to http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/felixlighta

We as a community should consider making a FAF youtube account. Perhaps Zep should host it and choose directors to upload content to increase the fan based. For the glory of FAF and SupComFA.

actually i thought about this a while ago, but it would require people with the time and passion to do that, also it would require more or less every supcom channel to do something for it

This is an excellent video, really gets the adrenaline going, great work!

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.

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.

trust is a quite thing on the internet
