Question:
Gauging interest: If I were to write a mod that allowed built in streaming for Boyah and allowed for posts to load/submit via AJAX would you use it?
Option 1: Yes!
votes: 11
Option 2: No, I like the livestream and not posting on Boyah
votes: 2
Option 3: No, I don't even attend the activity killer that is known as streaming
votes: 8
It may take some work but it might be possible. akudood;
you really need to get over this whole "streaming is killing boyah" thing, because only three users are constantly attending streams, and that's me, nyerp, and david...and if the rest of you can't post enough to keep things afloat, that's not the problem of us three, it's the problem of those who don't post.
because to be honest, we three post more than the rest of you anyway.
anyway, now that i said that, can someone explain this AJAX thing to me?
i don't even know what that means
then again it's not like the server could take it 5thgrade;
it'd be nice wrench;

NYERP AND DAVID ARE THE TOP 'HI' POSTERS OF THE CHAT THREAD akudood;
THEY MAKE OTHER PEOPLE REPLY HI TO THEM
akudood; akudood; akudood;
The AJAX would use Javascript to pull the most recent posts from a specified thread and load them in a manner similar to an auto updating shoutbox. Submissions would work in the reverse manner. I'd just have to work something out like flood protection (only submitting posts once every 10 seconds so double posts and whatnot get combined into a single post.)

The streaming portion possibly but depending on how much bandwidth it uses and how often it's done we might be able to use a CDN or EC2.
i'm not sure i really understand it because i'm retarded but if you guys think it's a good idea then whatever lol
i hardly ever say "hi" in the chat thread doodhuh;

the current streams have chats yes
it would load a thread as if it were a chat without having to refresh the page and whatnot. Someone in the stream would see it as a simple chat type thing while someone in the forums would see it as a thread.
My internet sucks too much to do this. :(

Converting a chat directly to forum posts? That doesn't sound like it'd work well. It'd involve a ton of short one-line posts with little relevance if read at a later time, basically ruining the point of being a forum post in the first place

Activity is activity.

Which is:
a.) No worse than the chat thread
b.) Why I'd havei t only post like once every 10 seconds if a person posts multiple things at a time.
this is stupid
what the fuck is ajax

Most simply, it's the fancy scripting stuff that lets web pages on the internet change what you see on them without going to a new page. It can load new posts in real-time without clicking refresh and stuff like that.

I believe it'd be much worse than the chat thread. Even if the interval is 30 seconds, a single person doesn't post that often in the chat thread.
The chats alongside a livestream tend to not be relevant to those not watching the video, but one idea that could work is allowing navigating and posting on the forum alongside the video and its chat in some way while allowing the video to remain on screen. Too bad that sounds like frames, which tend to be a terrible design.
oh like quick reply but better
yeah let's do that
i like activity
then post more
i like selena more
activity or selena.... you must pick one

I don't go to the streams because they are generally boring.
you're a faggot
Quote from: Snowy620 on April 04, 2011, 07:18:41 AM
Not my fault you guys are boring streamers. baddood;
...what the fuck do you expect streamers to do exactly? psyduck;
do you want things flashing on the screen to keep your attention for movie night? doodhuh;

I've been semi-implying this for MONTHS. akudood;
And I personally think:
a) JMV is too busy with his gurlfren to do this. akudood;
b) Livestream is good enough
c) :3

None of the movies interest me, and Kaz streams games at Fuck o' clock in the morning :(
not always; he sometimes starts streaming in the afternoon
Quote from: Snowy620 on February 11, 2011, 12:09:51 PM
If someone can embed the stream into a post, I can watch. giggle;

i have no particular "schedule" for streaming - i just do it whenever i feel like playing games that i'm streaming. sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes at night. sometimes past midnight.
Quote from: Snowy620 on April 04, 2011, 02:07:46 PM
Make a schedule. :(
He usually announces his streaming in the chat thread. Stop being a bitch. :(
kaz announces it in the chat thread befuddlement
