Bit of an update for you all here, I have been really hard at work today.
Twitch
I had to get a new person to help me with Twitch support on the website, he is very good but he costs quite a bit more than I thought because there is more work to do than I ever thought.
We made a lot of progress on getting it working tonight, but there is still a bug where the chat doesn't display which is really important because I want everything to happen on the website.
To give you an idea of cost here is a break down.
$100 Twitch support (this is to make it that everyone has a their own twitch page on the site)
$50 Twitch Widget fixing the display (it is broken on the homepage now we are working on it)
$100 Yotube front end support and video archive (upload videos to the website and member page front end)
$100 member area update
Xargen has already given a lot of support which is really going to help me on this but if anyone else can help it would be great.
Chatbox
I have added a chatbox to the homepage, I think this is a really cool system and a bit like facebook. The only problem is I am using the free version for now, the full version is $19 a month iflychat.com/upgrade-plan
It doesn't sound like much but it all really adds up! If the site gets more users I will have no choice but the upgrade because right now we can only have 10 users at once which is fine until E3 happens and we are all on the homepage watching the stream and chatting baby!
10 people at once is perfectly ok. We've never had more than about 5 at once. Also, may I suggest Chatango as a free alternative without the user limit (afaik)?
