Good morning EverQuesters,

In order to avoid a complete forum meltdown, I will not be posting my EQ videos here.

I will still be making these videos and if you'd like to watch them you can find them on my YouTube channel, "Scubes".

For those of you who do enjoy them, thanks very much for your support!

Cheers,
Steve

Disagree , dude is trying to make light of a great game having fun with a population that quite frankly could use some humor. I think him posting a thread for videos is not big deal. I mean what you gonna miss, another AM is crap thread? Or do you enjoy reading the 1000000 thread about some looser dominating jboot camp? Most of all these threads are recycled material. Keep posting homie videos where good, at least it was something new to check out.

And not to be rude but if you came to these fourms for "stability" you sir have come to the wrong place. =)

Jolanar is literally the only person i've seen that takes it to heart when these videos are posted. Its like he's butt hurt that he can't afford a camera or rig that can stream and doesn't want anyone else doing it.

Literally the same topics get posted every single day asking for farming locations, leveling locations, and 900 other topics, and yet, he chooses to complain about something that people actually want to see.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I’ve been browsing this forum for almost 9 years haha, I know it’s not always the most upbeat and positive place, but that’s okay. We all
play this game out of love and fond memories.

My main concern is protecting my YouTube channel, which has taken a lot of time and effort to create. Clicking the Dislike button on a video is important for real feedback and it’s there for a reason. However when people start weaponizing it out of spite or anger towards a content creator and spreading that across multiple videos all at the same time, that’s when I have to be careful.

That’s why I’m hesitant to continue posting on here.

Well brother, I hope that people realize that someone trying to have fun with server. And how much time and effort is put into doing these. Are you saving invoices from diffrent hats you wear as a tax write off? Lol. Like I said keep making videos man, and the clown shoes here hating need to ease up and show some support for a fellow EQ'er. Instead of hating on him, make suggestions on videos, I wouldn't mind seeing one on like a Kedge Crawl, or some of these super under used zone. More then willing to help out anyway just PM anytime.

I think there's a (fine) line between "letting people know about useful stuff" and "I need attention, please won't someone give me some attention!" ;) Pretty much everyone (I think rightfully) looked down on the latter, but not on the former ... the only problem (as this thread clearly demonstrates) is that different people disagree on where that line should be drawn.

I have almost the exact same problem with the wiki: I improve it often, and I want to let people know about the improvements, but at the same time I don't want to come across as being like "hey Mom, look at the new thing I made, shower me with love and affection (that I clearly should be getting elsewhere but instead I'm looking for it in an elf sim forum)."

The compromise I found was to create http://wiki.project1999.com/Notable_Updates, and put most of my updates (and any other wiki editors' work I come across) on to that page. Then I only ask the forum when I specifically need feedback on a new feature (eg. with the new loc maps). For me this has resulted in a proper "stradling" of the line: I can get the community's feedback when I need it, but I don't make so many posts that I annoy people.

Your situation isn't quite the same of course, as no one downvotes my wiki work :) But I think the same basic idea applies. You should be able to announce your new work to this forum, but you also should do it in a way that doesn't make you come across to anyone as an "attention whore" (and won't result in downvotes ... or at least no more than you get simply by exposing your videos to this forum at all, because you have to know there will be a few losers/griefers here who will downvote almost any video posted now matter how you post about it).

Again, not everyone will agree on where to draw the line, but it seems to me that the ideal solution would be to have a single thread with a very clear name (eg. "Youtube Video Series: The Adventures of Rupes"), possibly in server chat, but maybe in the Off Topic forum instead, as that's less likely to ruffle anyone's feathers. Then, instead of starting a new thread with each video, you could simply add a new post to that thread.

People who aren't interested will simply avoid that thread, while people who are interested will see it at the top every time a new video comes out. Problem ... solved?

I mean could even be as simple as Forum GMS adding a new thread p99 videos or somthing or hook him up with a sticky thread like you mentioned, but the fact that people hating on dude simply cause of a thread creation for videos is cray cray. And to give him negative feedback and hate on his stream page due to making a thread here is just sad. If you don't lIke his videos or threads it is simple as spinning that bad as lititle wheel on the middle of the mouse you use and roll on past it. Or just don't click it.

A mega-thread might be even better for actual fans. You could accumulate views that way as people scroll through, watch more, leave comments, and interact. I think you should at the very least make your own mega-thread and post every single video in it.

Secondly, DO NOT let detractors influence your self-promotion. They can freely click on anything they want, i.e. not your videos.

I'm obviously biased, but for that sort of thing I like the idea of putting the content in the wiki (where it can be easily edited even years later), and then using the forum to just mention when new content is added to the wiki ...

... but I'm not sure how people will feel about adding erotic fan fiction to the wiki, so on second thought maybe scratch that ;)

Maybe start a blog?

Ya there's really no good way to do this is there. I would want each new video link to be on the first page with my original post.

I think you just have to plan ahead and make your first post say that it's about the first episode, only ... but that the second post will introduce the second episode, and so on. Also note that people can always find the latest episode in the most recent post.

That way even if you've released 100 episodes people can still start on the first page, with the first video (where you'd want them to start anyway) ... and then if they want to see the latest video it's as easy as clicking the "Last" link.

Or, if you don't want them to start with the first, just say as much in that first post: tell them to use the "Last" link and work backwards.

As for the posting... I’ve decided I will not create a new thread for every new video, that is for sure (hopefully this will calm the angry natives). As to how I’ll be posting them, I haven’t decided yet.

I am leaning towards one of these options:

1. Posting one new thread every Sunday with a collection of the week’s videos.
2. Creating one thread and posting a new Reply every time I release a video.

Either way it will be in Server Chat.

PVP is the best but overall server population is more important for my enjoyment. Just personal preference.

My first toon was an Erudite Wizard named Evocater. My next and still active toon is a DE necro named Skulx. It was Skul but I transferred servers later on and they added the stupid X.
