Hello TF.TV
Quick question for Enigma, based god of TF.TV. I was wondering, with the number of contributors (TFTV+) 5$ / months rising and being steady, if there was any plans to develop more functionnalities for the website and/or more services for those contributors or for everyone in general. A new TF.TV event, a LAN, website functions? Further development? Coverage for ESEA-open, im, main on a more regular basis? CEVO coverage?
Before you all say that i dont contribute, i was 1 month ago, and i plan to renew my subscription soon. I love the website, i think the forums are a great place, etc. I visit it daily, and i think enigma is doing a good job with the website.
Not trying to be Sherlock Holmes and have a inquiry on how many $ are made this way, just a quick update from Enigma if the wants to boost what he is offering with this OPTIONAL service. For exemple, i think there should be a way, when you are a subscriber to this website, to also have the cool sub icon on Twitch teamfortress.tv account. Would this be possible? Maybe Twitch John could help us with this?
Here is a copy paste of the TF.TV+ Section that made me ask myself those questions :
More to Come : Your contribution allows us to continue adding features and functionality to this site. Drop us some requests of your own in our site suggestions subforum and we'll see if we can make it happen.
Sorry for my english.
Good day,

website development is an ongoing process that hasn't really stopped ever since the inception of TFTV (http://i.imgur.com/d4amOY0.png). backend improvements/bug fixes/optimization may not be apparent on the outside, but there are some things on the docket that I hope to push out in the upcoming month that'll be more interesting to the general user base:
- demo system (a la gotfrag)
- filtering system and event-specific tags for better sorting of news/vods
- notification system for plus users that'll let you know when someone replies to a post you made
- stream page and stream sidebar improvements
a good portion of my time is already spent on managing casts/tournaments and making sure the organization you see as TFTV runs smoothly. the amount of work I put in really doesn't justify the money I make at all, but I do it because everyone involved with TFTV is fantastic to work with and I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing that people enjoy the content we produce.

the first thing I looked into when developing the sub system was some sort of integration with Twitch's and it just wasn't feasible for two reasons:
- twitch takes half the money
- there's no "clean" way to integrate twitch subs (no api or openid)
i'll be adding some sort of trial to tftv+ in short time because I genuinely think that the post highlighting is a really neat feature that adds a lot of value for frequent forum browsers

I love post highlighting, and I love being able to have 100 posts per page. The new features look good. Thanks for the great website enigma.
One bug that I wish could be fixed somehow, is being a tftv plus member and having my posts per page set to 100. I can't click links that were generated by a non-plus user, as they will give me a 404 redirect. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed at some point, as whenever I get linked to a post on the site I have to manually look through the thread for the post I want.
