Do you plan to enable the subscriber option on all channels eventually? Or is there any other things that "smaller" streamers can look forward to in the future? At the moment it seems like a rich get richer situation where people are already sponsored, then partnered, and now have subscribers.

Yes, we do. We want to spread this stuff out as much as possible, but it requires more automation.

Things I found interesting:

>Heck, I'd be happy if scroll up prevent chat from moving. Trying to click a link in a fast moving chat can get to be rather annoying.

>Give me an "open chat in IRC" button on stream pages!

As long as the stream page isn't a monolith, these would be really cool to do.

I found out that I can barley watch streams because of my time Warner internet. One user said you can get around this by using a proxy. Can anyone help me out with this? I have never had much reason to look into how proxys work or how to use them but would love to learn now.

here is the comment thread I am referring to: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1exa2k/hi_im_emmett_shear_founder_and_ceo_of_twitch_the/ca4o3y7
