Advertising is not just giving a link to another site - some sites are well known to the extent that nicknames are just as bad. The usual punishments apply here as they do to giving links.

I kinda wish that too tbh, because they could start rp's up and I wouldn't have to wait half a year for a new idea to come to me and it sit unused until then. Plus it's fun.
I only wish the art forums and role play had the same amount of people going in and out that it used to!
ive tried a few times to get the art boards going but i dont think theres a lot of artists on site any moreand the ones that are here are too self deprecating to post their work.
I guess you could also do the streaming thing for the artists on the site too. I'm no artist but I'm guessing Oekakis are no longer used and everyone streams their drawing sessions using something.
I'm almost certain that twitch provides some means of advertising that a stream is underway via social media etc. but it'd be even better if it had some kind of multi-user channel or something.
If there is some kind of multi-channel thing it wouldn't be long before other videogames are included too, but if we ended up sharing an 'official' account then I guess it'd be best to keep it all Pokemon related.
If you know anything about sharing a stream key then that'd be helpful, I don't have any twitch supported consoles to really try it on but you could set up a dummy account or something and see how easy it is for one person to stream and then the stream to move to another person with the same key. We don't want to find ourselves in a situation where someone is streaming their thing and then suddenly the stream changes its source as someone forgets they've got it on their console and starts streaming GTA or something.
Stream keys are just strings of text you put into streaming software that tells it what channel to stream to basically. You can find it on your Twitch Dashboard under the Stream Key setting, or you can add authorized broadcasters to a channel which will e-mail them the stream key.Switching between streamers works by a system of "whoever went live most recently is the stream being broadcast", at least last time I checked. So if I was streaming, and you went live, it would switch to you streaming without any sort of warning or prompting, so it would be important that users checked the channel before they went live. I don't think there's any way around this happening either, unless it's a recent development.as an example, a twitch stream key looks something like live_30945977_77ZBLHRFs9ymcSbISChHHRd (i've taken a few characters off the end so no one hijacks my twitch). I've never streamed via a console like PS4 or Xbox One, so I don't know if that uses a stream key or account system.
