The Idea
Okay, please tell me if someone has suggested this before but I really like the idea and I think it could really help promote the site. My idea is that a group of people here on the site (You know who you are) who are good at making Youtube vids could create a Tf2Maps.net youtube account. On this Youtube account, they could create a series of vids on custom maps shown here on the site which would serve two purposes.
1. Would introduce Tf2Maps.net to a bunch of people who have never heard of it but have typed in TF2 in youtube search before.
2. Promote maps made on this site that are really awesome but dreadfully underplayed because few people outside of the community ever hear about them.
The Vids
The videos we would make would be stuff like Flythroughs of maps, Reviews of our maps (like how the contest maps are judged), 6v6 matches on the maps, Mapping tutorials (seeing a vid is a lot easier to understand then something your reading.), and more.
We could even collect vids already made by members of the site, like the Political gamers flythrough of Cp_iron, and put them on the site to even further promote tf2maps.net. We wouldnt even have to make anything for the first few weeks! Just a playlist with the vids already made in it!
Now Im not saying we should make vids of EVERY single map. Only RC or very mature Beta. At the staff's discretion, a map would be chosen to be featured on the front page (and youtube channel) for no less than a month, for it's high quality. The featured map would have a video made on it. The above would also be valid for contest winners.
In every vid we could put up the addresses to our US and EU servers, our website, our steam community, ect.
After people see all the amazing maps, they will join tf2 mappers for sure. We might even get 50 to 70 new members in the first 3 months from when this is started.
Millions of Gamers have youtube channels and we will be getting subscriptions and new members left and right like its no ones business. Even better, if we had maybe only 6 or 7 mappers/video makers working on this, we could have flythroughs out all most every week.
The 1 Problem
We will have to be careful with who knows the log in info for this omni-account. Only people who are making and uploading vids and a few VIPs. Not even I should know the account info. But that is the only problem I see and that is a good thing I guess since we already have a solution.
I love the idea and the best part is that it brings in free publicity for tf2maps.net
