Some clarifications

- First of all, if you want a stream added to TL's interface, just create an announcement thread in the Broodwar forum and PM SonuvBob with a link to it. SonuvBob will give you access to your own streaming interface and move your announcement thread to the stream discussion section. Please get your stream verified asap if you get added! This will allow more than 50 viewers to tune into your stream simultaneously. This involves contacting the LiveStream.com staff, contact me for more information.

- If you have any problems setting up your stream, or with the interface on LiveStream.com, please post your problem in this thread. Please always read the ENTIRE thread before posting. 90% of the problems you're going to encounter have been encountered (and solved) by other people before. Do not PM me if you don't find the answer, I have less experience with these programs than most people helping others in that thread.

- Like most of you have probably already figured out, streams that appear with a star in the User Streams page are featured streams. These appear under the Calendar when they're live. Please don't PM us asking to get featured. You will get featured if we like the quality of your stream, and we do tune in & monitor every stream. Also, you'll find us quicker to feature a stream if live commentary is provided, as we believe this doubles the entertainment value as well as educational value.


To streamers [PLEASE READ]

- A lot of you tend to forget to list your stream as Offline/VODs when you're not broadcasting anymore. Please don't put your stream on Online mode unless you're really streaming live.
The VOD mode is appropriate if you either are looping prerecorded VODs in your LiveStream AutoPilot, or have VODs in your On-Demand section.

- The description you provide can either be your 'daily topic' or a permanent description, but please don't let it get outdated. Don't say you're going to train TvZ when you're BGH'ing.

I just recently started streaming as well, and read about how streaming can potentially fry your motherboard due to the heavy amount of resources it takes. (the computer heats up and the mobo fries).

Recently, after the 3 hour mark of streaming (sc2), the game froze for about 5 seconds, and my motherboard made 1 loud BEEEP sound. I immediately shut of procaster, and everything seemed to be fine.

Im just curious, was that beeping sound a warning from my moBo that it was heating up, and reaching a point of breaking? I want to stream, and I don't lag while streaming....but I seriously don't want to ruin my motherboard that I just purchased. Any help?
