Site Upgrade: Live Events


Recommended Posts

Sometime in 2008 on a Sunday morning game-day I get a text (yahoo messenger? Lmfao)

Max: “BP, the server went down and I’m at the stadium and don’t have access to a computer, Beans is at church and I need you to reboot the server. I am giving you the keys to the house” lol

BP: a friend in need is a friend indeed

I went deep into the bowels of the now ancient and obsolete JN MYSQL site, stuck the key in, pressed the gas pedal and turned her over. Ran perfectly all day after that. I got JN OT pay and it was very satisfying

In order to break this new technology in, I am willing to stream myself fistfighting each of the next three posters who give me negative rep

Wow. Being willing to lose three fights in a row on live video is some true dedication to the site!

I am going to run a quick upgrade on the forums right now. Shouldn't take long, we are making some behind the scenes changes to get a new feature that I have always wanted.  Live Events.

We will soon have video ability in a "Live Event". This can be something that we stream on YouTube as well but you can watch it right here. If we want to do two person video debates with everyone commenting we can. All of the video comments are converted to posts when the event is over. I will have more info on this soon. 

First I have to upgrade and then we have to change our hosting (bigger project) to enable this. My goal is to have Live Events up and running before draft weekend. This way we can test it out and have some fun for each round of the draft.

Thanks!

@BwanaZulia vs @PatFanTx who is better, Brady or Pennington?

We stopped hiring I.T. guys that go to mass that day.

How about a live chat? Much preferred to the Windows 98 game-day style threads.  Or one with a video component too.  Much like Discord.  Do it.

Well the game day threads are by far the most popular threads on here. Live chats are hard to read because they focus on the newest posts and aren't always easy to search. So I can tell you that the game day thread definitely isn't going anywhere.

The game day thread could definitely qualify for this live event that I am talking about. We could have some people on video, and others commenting. Kind of like a watch party.

We would have to be EXTREMELY careful that no live video was shown. That isn't anything we would want to mess around with.
