I'm not sure if you have seen them before, but many groups of people, be it forums, Facebook groups, companies, and so on, have "community" YouTube channels where multiple people contribute to uploading videos onto one channel about or directed to their respective community.

There are many variations of these channels. Some of them are there just so a forum can make-easier it's global announcements, or so a company can easily get feedback from it's employees. There are also community channels for forums that sums up activities or acts as recreational source for a few members of the community to collaborate a channel and have their forum as a viewer-base.

 

I made the YouTube channel "ForumTipIt", and was wondering if you guys can give me a Yea or Nay on this idea. I'm not all for the idea myself, but if someone can convince me that it is worth it I may try to make it work.

I've personally thought of this before, the only problem being that you are going to have to hand the password to people you know you can trust, so they don't post random things that have nothing to do with TIF or Runescape.

 

It would be a good idea if executed correctly. I support.

Sounds good if it were organised well and such :)

 

(I subbed to it btw :thumbup:)

I'm not all for such an idea, though if it did go ahead, I'm sure an administrator would deal with it. :o

If there were to be an official YouTube channel for Tip.It then it would need to be ran and regulated by the staff and admins really.

Well, seeing as I am the owner of the YouTube account, it can only be ran by me and who I allow.

Since I am not the owner of Tip.it then of course it would not be an "Official" channel. I have no intentions of labeling it as "unofficial" or "official"; it is what it is.

It still gives the impression of being linked to the forums, and as such people would mistakenly believe it is an official channel. Besides, all the tipit related videos (such as TET events) are posted by people attending (often TET staff, and users will sometimes doubleup.)

I personally think it's a great idea. Not sure about how it could be implemented, but I'd like to see it getting some use.

Would, be awesome, I think.

Seems like a good idea, but Youtube have yet to make community/forumlike channels.

I don't use youtube so I honestly don't know how it works but if you really want to make one give it the title of Tip.it's Unofficial Youtube Channel and your in business otherwise your claiming to be something your not.

I think it's a good idea. A handful of mods/appointed members would be appointed to upload videos forum members send in, and voila!

Another nice thing would be for the Runescape aspect of the forum, you could have video guides and other fun how to stuff together all in one place, as well as videoed events and other such things. I really think it has potential to be a great idea, and I'm surprised that no one's made an official channel yet.

Here's how its going to work:

 

1. I will title it "Unofficial" to avoid any commotion

 

2. I will probably give the password to a couple select users who will simply have the job of uploading and reading PMs and such.

 

3. I will allow anyone to submit a video, all they have to do is host it via Rapidshare or another easy-to-download/upload video hosting site, and have them PM the hosted link to me or another of the aforementioned select users.

 

I will be making some clearer guidelines for submission and such later.

 

Please note that myself and the select users will not be the only ones that will be able to submit videos. This is for everyone, it is simply mine and their job to manage the channel and do the actual uploading.

 

Also, if any TIF Admins want to use the channel for any announcements and the like, you will be more than welcome to do so.

Considering it's hex, I highly doubt it.

Sounds good, but remember it will probably take up a lot of your time.

I'm not planning on this being a daily thing.

 

Just a once-in-a-while upload. If people do want to upload lots of TIF-related videos then I'd just appoint a sufficient amount of channel-runners.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Great idea. I support. :^_^:

Good idea, bad follow through for the name. I don't like the idea of even putting unofficial in the title. I would have preferred to see it called something else since it isn't run by tip.it .

 

Regardless I hope this turns out well.

Awesome.
