I know that DJ has for the most part been uploading tribute videos and such to his own youtube channel.  But, if we really wanted a dedicated channel to our own, we could always create a new gmail account specifically for omnimaga videos, and then link it to a new official youtube channel.

I'm busy with college apps right now, but once first semester's done I'll be sure to finish some of my old games!

A new channel would be total suicide I think, because most people who subscribed to mine would not be willing to resubscribe to a new channel. All the vids I uploaded under my xlibman account had 15000+ views, yet when I reuploaded them on my new channel, the view count resetted to 0 and I never ever got close to 1000 views for most of them.

Also on xlibman I averaged around 1900 views a day with less than 100 videos, none of which had more than 40000 views. On DJOmnimaga, only two of my songs made it past 10K and my entire channel averages at 300 views a day with 250+ vids (down from 600 in 2009-10)! Maybe I am doing something wrong with SEO, though or it's due to the Youtube redesign/search engine results restructure...

IMHO if you make videos you could upload them on your account and add Omnimaga to tags and the URL in description and maybe even title, and I continue uploading calc vids under my own when I do any. Then if I have motivation at one point I can add your calc vids to my playlists if you pm me the links

What this community needs is a really great game or tool. Maybe if for every popular platform a group of good programmers would work together to create a really awesome program, we can get more new people interested in programming them. So basically we have to show the world how powerful calcs really are.

But this is just a suggestion. I don't know at all how good/bad it will work

Well it would probably have to be a solo programming project or a team project where only one person does any coding and the spriter is really commited to the game. Otherwise team projects have a long history of failures in the TI community compared to solo projects.

Also recently I noticed that all the staff except one or two (JustCause doesn't count, thanks to North Korean parental regime) started posting consistently again somewhere other than the Minecraft section, which is a good thing, since the team looks more active and caring. On certain former TI forums I remember that sometimes, only one or two staff had made posts in the last year or so and on other large boards, I even noticed sometimes that none of the staff had 2000 posts nor made it to the top 10 posters. I was kinda worried last Winter before the 2012 restructure of Omnimaga when like 4 or 5 CoT members had fewer than 3-4 posts within the last month or so.

Well, the DJOmnimaga channel is still kinda popular among the community. He often posts demos of calc games.

I thought of making some sort of series like the Angry Video Game Nerd or its French counterpart the Joueur du Grenier, but with calcs. That would be pretty cool.

I'd like to try doing this. If I do this, should I make a new youtube account for it (which is discouraged above) or just use my current one? I could make a new episode about once every week, featuring a game or program created/finished/worked on that week.

What would I call the show?

I was replying to Spyro543

Although now that I see that all you got is K'nex stuff, it might be kinda of a gamble. I noticed once that when I posted a calc video after posting a bunch of music ones, I lost one subscriber and when I started posting music again after a long series of calc vids, the same thing happened. In your case, you only have one type of video, so your subscribers are mostly K'nex fans. Maybe they won't like to see their subscription list get flooded by unrelated vids. It doesn't hurt to try, though, and if they are annoyed at you then they don't really deserve your recognition anyway.

I like this. I wonder though if it wouldn't be a better idea to double the framerate?

Well that's good to hear, although I wonder what would happen if you posted like 30 calc vids in a row. But again I doubt your subscriber count could affect views that much if it changes by 1 or 2. Just make sure to title your video properly (have TI-84 Plus as early as possible in the title and maybe 83 Plus as well if that fits) and use tags with the main keywords first.
