Those of you that remember. Back in the day I had a ton of UK basketball games and older football games hosted on megaupload.... I lost a lot of past UK games most of them i think happened right around Cal's 2nd season.
I was a Video Admin on Wildcats Thunder were a lot of those videos were. After mega got shut down. I tried every way possible to keep it going, even where there were a lot of personal problems going on in my personal life I tried to find ways to keep things going. I actually had to step away from WT because at the time things going on in my personal life was too much to maintain what i was doing before.. so I basically retired. Could of handled it differently but when you have a loved one dying of pancreatic cancer youre in a IDGAF mode about everything else but your loved one.
Before that most of you knew me when I streamed on Justin TV. Had the Funchester channel on there.... I know there were at times It hit about 10K viewers at once for a couple of games when we played in that tourney in Mexico?.... anyways I got banned on Justin TV so much I got the dreaded IP Ban there so they killed a great thing I had going there. The thing that pissed me off the most about that was, the selective targetting of streamers they took action at. Others whod stream similar material, or they'd stream copyright material (EX. movies that were still in theaters, TV shows etc..) They were allowed to continue to stream on. I got Banned forever for streaming there. I never asked for a dime off anyone. I streamed for you guys who love Kentucky Basketballl. I know Billionth did the same thing. His site was for the fans and never would ask for a dime if he didn't have to keep up the costs for hosting.
I'm not going to promise anything at this point because like Billionth we both don't need any legal issues when it comes to this stuff. I know Billionth feels the same way and as bad as I hate to say it . UKBASKETBALL LIVE will never be back, just like the Vault on WT and for obvious reasons Funchester on Justin TV will never come back. The site I use now to try and let the legacy live on as of right now is still going for now, however as early as last year I considered retiring for good just because I don't have a true secure place to stream during the season. The amount of viewers I get per game, I would have to charge people and thats the last thing I want to do. If I had enough cash I'd buy my own server, which some of them to do what Billionths site could do is like up to $4,000 +. Being on a fixed income myself no way I can afford to maintain the costs and again the legal shit that would come with it, just took risky.
All I will say at this point is if things get too difficult for me, I will be retiring from streaming as hard as that is for me to say to all the people who I love and cherish doing this for you guys over the last decade. However if worse comes to worse and I do have to retire from stream. I will make sure you guys have a way to watch and I will work with you on setting things up, where you dont have to depend on sites where you can pick up viruses that will cause you more problems.
Sorry for the long post, I had a lot to get off my mind.
