If you guys have videos up there, it might be worth backing them up somewhere until they figure out how to transfer them to another provider (twitch maybe?)

Jeesh, not much warning.
Merovech's Mapmaking Guidelines:
0. Player Requests: The player's requests take precedence, even if they contradict the following guidelines.

1. Balance: The map must be balanced, both in regards to land quality and availability and in regards to special civilization features. A map may be wonderfully unique and surprising, but, if it is unbalanced, the game will suffer and the player's enjoyment will not be as high as it could be.

2. Identity and Enjoyment: The map should be interesting to play at all levels, from city placement and management to the border-created interactions between civilizations, and should include varied terrain. Flavor should enhance the inherent pleasure resulting from the underlying tile arrangements. The map should not be exceedingly lush, but it is better to err on the lush side than on the poor side when placing terrain.

3. Feel (Avoiding Gimmicks): The map should not be overwhelmed or dominated by the mapmaker's flavor. Embellishment of the map through the use of special improvements, barbarian units, and abnormal terrain can enhance the identity and enjoyment of the map, but should take a backseat to the more normal aspects of the map. The game should usually not revolve around the flavor, but merely be accented by it.

4. Realism: Where possible, the terrain of the map should be realistic. Jungles on desert tiles, or even next to desert tiles, should therefore have a very specific reason for existing. Rivers should run downhill or across level ground into bodies of water. Irrigated terrain should have a higher grassland to plains ratio than dry terrain. Mountain chains should cast rain shadows. Islands, mountains, and peninsulas should follow logical plate tectonics.

There was a post on reddit a week or so ago that warned that this was going to happen, but it was more a rumor than anything else. I guess they were trying to keep things going to the last.

Also from what I've heard there will be no way to get back videos after own3d goes down, so it's now or never for that.

It was nice while it lasted, but I've learned over the years that you can't rely on any online service to be there in the future. Anything that I wanted saved I keep backed up (in at least two different places). I have a whole external hard drive just for all of those YouTube videos in case YouTube would ever disappear.

I pulled one video off of Own3d today and bid farewell to the rest. I had over 500 saved in the 18 months of Livestreaming. Down the memory hole they go.

Its pretty silly they don't have a transfer arrangement with Twitch or something. Probably could have sold all that saved content for quite a bit of cash. Oh well.

500 videos? Wow. I watched probably half of them. Sincere thanks for the many hundreds of hours of entertainment.

I assume you'll move to Twitch?

Pro team chooses jungledinger in the 5th (out of 5) game in a real tournament ($5000 on the line). And then executes a very well done push strat. Very entertaining game, check it out: http://www.twitch.tv/eslasia/b/362814801?t=3h34m
