this would actually make me consider coming back to play more BW.. the iccup system of joining a game and some newb kicks you because you are a certain race, or sees your stats, is really annoying =/

Yeah but there aren't many people on it, so its kinda hard to find games, and the fact that iccup has their website with stats and everything in English means they probably won't be losing their users. If this thing had something like the iccup site, and a larger user base I would switch permanently.

For anyone that is interested, here is a synopsis of the events that lead up to the banning of SC2TV from ICCUP:

SC2TV were casting one of their events.

Enter Unk.

Unk starts demanding obs slot - something that has been denied to everyone, including close friends and possible sponsors, due to lag - and is denied. Unk runs to Yellow-Ant saying that SC2TV is violating the TOS of ICCUP.

Yellow-Ant contacts imba.Adolf[ra], one of the progenitors of the SC2TV project, and makes an ultimatum: you put a lot of ICCUP-ads in your streams and on your homepage and we let you stay.

imba.Adolf[ra] replies that the usual banner that is seen in the chat channels are displayed constantly as well as ICCUP being mentioned constantly by the commentators and players being drawn to ICCUP by various "forfun"-events that SC2TV hosts.

None of this pleases the ICCUP government and after some exchange, SC2TV is expunged from the ICCUP server.

SC2TV events have henceforth been hosted on the Podolsk server, whose administration was kind enough to provide SC2TV a dedicated channel and admin rights.

Of course. It's just a first step. And as it was said, we made this server/launcher basically for holding our streams. But we are going to upgrade our portal to be able of keeping all the statistics, and to have a strong bound with sc-server. For example you will have an opportunity to call down any sc2tv.ru user in the site panel and your game replays would be automatically saved on the site. If you wish, they could be open for everyone. And, it's more important for English speaking community, that we are working on English version of the site too. But all of that is in the distant future. Sorry)

Beta testing of the server/launcher ends in a week. We hope to fix all bags until the New Year. And approximately after the 1st of January we'll start the 1-st season. So you should expect more people, as we will post adds on different sites and so on.

I mean...the ICCup TOS does sayIt's pretty obscenely powerful...but isn't that what a TOS is for? Yello doesn't eject entire groups of people over something as small as not having banners all over the place, so there must have been something more that nobody is talking about.
