Talk about not being able to teach an old dog new tricks

Starts losing an argument and reverts to personal attacks

It was a trial game , get over it

 

[gallagher]

What a bunch of sooks this club has for supporters

Still whining…harden up you pussys, have a tissue- dry your eyes. :unamused:


Any tissues left in that box after your annual 'no members badge' whinge?

 

[TrueTiger]

Come on Simon,no need to be antagonistic,it was a trial game and so the livestream was a trial as well from the amount of views it had apparently….getting stuck into each other or trying to belittle someone over their opinion or suggestions isnt very courteuos.......we all get upset when things dont always go right,especially a Tigers game and our first taste of footy as a precursor to the seasons start....

2 years? You flatter yourself if you think Ive researched your past posts. You mentioned something about your precious badges not long ago, this off season. Just forget about them and focus on your teaspoon collection

lol great retort :laughing:

they gave it a shot with xcast for a bloody trial game. they got more people interested than they expected and it crashed. big whoop.

sure they could do it with Youtube but youtube ain't gonna pay them the kind of money xcast is willing to.

 

[Black_n_White]

Yet I watched the Para v Riff trial game on youtube and there was no problem at all….

Simon,

You streamed a trial match on youtube?

Youtube is all about uploading and getting everyone to download.

Are you comparing Youtube severs to Xcast (or whoever the server for the tigers were)? Youtube do have better servers you know? How much is Youtube worth?

Errrrrrrr…....I couldnt give a rats arse,why/how much,blah blah blah.

There was a game posted by a Neville Nobody,it was crystal clear and i watched all of it.

In defence of Simon here, Youtube does have live streaming capabilities. The UFC uses the youtube platofrm to stream their weigh-ins and post fight press conferences live and in high definition. The Parra game was also live streamed in high def by a nobody.

Our clubs efforts were unfortunately just pathetically amateur, actually that is a slur on the thousands of amateur streamers out there who could have pulled it off alot better.

What a massive overreaction this thread is.

 

[LaT]

A terrific idea that fell down for whatever reason. Not a good look for Xcast's services.

 

[LaT]

What a massive overreaction this thread is.

Take a look at each complaint individually, there isn't a massive overreaction from each person but more an expression of disappointment for missing the first available WT game of the year (even if it was just a trial).

What you shouldn't do is take the thread as a whole, lump it all together and proclaim everyone is a massive cry baby and has no reason to be upset for something that was free.

Should people be a little more restrained, sure. But the reactions to the supposed overreactions are just as stupid in a way.

Look at it this way, X-Cast are a sponsor of ours and they are using our trial match to test their live streaming service under huge weight. It was a test for everyone involved and it was a trial match.

Yes if we used YouTube or another streaming service it would have worked better but YouTube don't sponsor us and didn't come to us suggesting we do it which no doubt X-Cast did.

Imagine if you're our major sponsor and you come to us wanting to use one of our trials to test your new streaming service, not even asking to be paid for it (they pay us as a sponsor right?) and we go "great idea but we're gonna guess your service sucks and use a different streaming service. Thanks for the sponsorship!"

Close enough to 10 pages of carry on (first comments about the stream not working properly are on page 4), and on top of that a mod had to delete a heap of posts from this thread last night
That's definitely an overreaction.

Did you get to see the game?

 

[simonthetiger]

I dont see any overreaction here.

Im usually pretty positive about the life,universe and the tigers.

U cant sugarcoat yesterdays abysmal attempt to get us too see that game, which was a great idea.

Serious fail.

 

[simonthetiger]

And PS…..all our trials should be televised.

If they want more members provide a service that makes it impossible for us NOT to join up.

If that means using Youtube than so be it.

Yes this reflect poorly on xcast more so than the Wests Tigers. Though this sort of stuff happens all the time, especially for organisations the relatively small size of the xcast and the Wests Tigers. I am in Pearl Jam's fan club and they for a number of years tried to sell tickets to the members of the fan club directly. Everytime they did this their servers would crash and the majority of people would fail to get tickets. I actually remember spending about 8 hours pressing F5 to get tickets to one of their shows.

I'm just raising this to point out even organisations with much larger $ than the Wests Tigers and xcast have similar problems?

Streamed the first half before losing the stream. So I followed the rest through twitter & forum comments from people who were there - same as normal trials.

If this is the worst thing we have to complain about all season then we will have had a very good season!
