Discord server for Michigan game live streams

Submitted by MGoArchive on

Hi there - I'm going to be offering live streams for games, starting this week for the basketball/hockey.

There are some adverserial people (fuck you - OSU/MSU/Big Ten/NCAA) who also browse this board - fortunately, I've developed a few mechanisms to circumvent this.

1) Links to the stream will not be posted on MGoBoard. Do not post the links to the streams on the board to other users. Direct them to the Discord server URL.

2) The link to the server is https://discord.gg/VEdcKTr

3) Join the server, state your MGoBlog username and copy/paste a URL to a comment in a prior post you've made on MGoBoard.

4) You will be messaged a phrase to edit the post you've provided, and include the set of characters/phrase you were messaged.

5) I will go through your post history and see if you're a MGoBoard regular and can be trusted.

6) If you follow steps 5/6, you will be messaged a stream URL on the Discord server.

7) The stream URL will be new every game. Once you've been verified once, you're on the trusted list and are good to go. You'll be messaged a new URL for the stream for each game.

8) If this gets popular, I'm going to need some volunteers to help with the moderation of new users.

9) Feel free to join the server now and start the verification process. I'm at work so the response to your posts will be delayed. I'll probably get back to you sometime after 5pm EST.

10) Do not post the stream URL in an MGoBoard thread - if you do this, the streaming rights associated with your MGoBoard username will be revoked - there is no tolerance for this.

11) This authentication mechanism was used by the NSA to communicate with the Russians - https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/10/nsa-used-twitter-account-tweet-secret-messages-mea/

Thanks.

Check back here later tonight, we'll do a dry-run for the Illinois/Iowa game.

I tried the Reddit route, last Fall, and found nothing that would stream. It just was a bunch of links that had horrendous pop-ups. I have heard about the VPN option but I'm a little tech challenged and everytime I tried to get something working, it ended up not working. So, I'm hoping the YT Live Streams gets rolling for the last two games off the season.

For those interested Discord also has links to LiveStreams for certain concerts that are webcasted - like from my avatar.  I caught one on Monday and it was perfect.

Quick question, I thought the user was allowed to edit a mgo post after a certain time frame? I only ask because I’ve tried to edit a comment and wasn’t allowed to

Thank you so much for this. 

Side-note: do you happen to have the video from the UM-NoDak/UM-UMD frozen four from 2011? 

I was at the game and used to have the full games from the MGoVideo site but the old computer died and at the time I wasn't thinking about backing the videos up so I lost them and now can't find them anywhere.

My Discord username is Pixelcrusher720 (set up by a friend because, again, I’m dumb with tech that isn’t a video game). I sent a message on the Discord app and received a reply, but not sure if you meant to respond on this thread or not. Also, thanks a ton for doing this!

When you join the Discord server, please copy/paste the URL from your reply in this thread. If you're an old lurker, that's fine, but you'll need a recent post so it can be edited, so I can send you a six digit code and you'll edit that post, confirming your identity.

I've copied/pasted this response in private message to a bunch of you who sent comment URLs from other threads.
