Rules/Discussion/Tutorials
I figure that this is as good a time as any to make this thread, with seemingly more amounts of people coming to the board. Here are some basic rules to keep this board going smoothly:
1. Don't post usernames of YouNow users. It gets them banned.
2. Don't hoard or offer to trade videos. This board is about sharing content.
3. This should be addressed: Don't post blatantly illegal content. I'll have to remove it if it gets reported.
4. Keep Hipchat, Vola, and other chatroom type websites to one thread.
For now that's about it. This is a small board and there are only two mods. It's a team effort to keep it from falling to shit.
Also, users who make their own content should post how in this thread. This ranges from how to get YouNow videos onto your computer to getting them to webm. Thanks.
First of all, get a decent tool for capturing your findings. I recommend this one:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_x__uIHJMFxZ3huUnB4RGU3UzQ/view?pli=1
It has a nice "download all from this channel" feature that many others lack. Once you're done, you'll be ready to go.
WHERE TO GO
Pay special attention to low-level streamers (above level 5 usually). The people you are looking for have downloaded the app just a few days ago and won't stay around for very long. Also, keep an eye on the amount of fans they have, a level 2 with more than 100 fans is someone worth checking. Some good starting points are the "Recently Joined" page (https://www.younow.com/recentlyjoined.php), the non-trending tags (you can find them by using the search bar, just type in each letter of the alphabet and each number), and the bottom portion of the queues. Eventually you may find some users who specializes in fanning winning streamers. Once you find one, finding more will be easier.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A WIN
Start recording. Actually, you should always be recording, you never know what's going to happen next. If nothing happens, you can discard the video later. Keep in mind that if a streamer gets banned while broadcasting, the whole channel will be deleted altogether, including all archived videos. And that's exactly why the second thing you must do is to download all of the streamer's archived videos. If a win is happening now, it's very likely it happened before. Anyways, make sure to examine the videos only after they are already on your computer. A cool thing I noticed, by the way, is that even if the streamer is banned while you're downloading their videos, your downloads still won't be interrupted. Now, the next step is to check the streamer's social media. Look for their real names or any usernames they like using. If you can find it, try putting it in the YN's search box and see if you can discover any other accounts that user may have had. Chances of finding more wins there are very high.
WHAT NOT TO DO IF YOU FIND A WIN
Don't fan her. Don't like her.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET BANNED
Reset your IP, clean your cookies and cache. Make another account (Twitter accepts fake emails) and try logging in. If it doesn't work, try using a second browser.
AND, MOST IMPORTANT, SHARE EVERYTHING YOU FIND
That's really important. For everything you have, always keep a copy on your computer AND a copy on the internet.
I wanted to talk about a few more things, but that's all for today.

Debate/Discussion/Rant Thread
Couldn't help but notice that the threads that shouldn't be contaminated with Discussion/Debate/Ranting are being contaminated with those three things (I'm not entirely innocent in that regard, honestly). I'm making this thread so we don't end up making the problem worse.
So, here it is /webmcams/ - our first Debate/Discussion/Rant Thread.
PS: If a mod/the owner isn't a fan of this idea, feel free to delete this whole thing if it's possible - I would understand completely.
PPS: Yes, yes I know there is a meta thread - I see it as more of a helping with content creation place.
anyone have the second broadcast of her? please inform me i loved that ass please someone have recorded it! broadcast id=71668944

Download troubles
So my YN downloader just decided to shit itself right when I found a major win. It downloads the videos like normal but the output is just gibberish and the size is always 0 kb. I don't know if the program is out of date, its corrupts (even though I reinstalled it 3 times, or if YN somehow changed it's coding, but I'm seriously pissed. Anyone know any good programs to download streams?
