Welcome to WatchFighters!

We reached an incredible number of over 1250 registrations in less than 24h since we opened up the public Beta! This is amazing! We are surprised and happy. The system is stable, minor bugs and glitches are getting fixed on an almost hourly basis. Most of them should not be noticed by any members. However, if you do experience a problem, please let us know.

A big thanks to everyone who uploaded a video, free, paid, or embedded. Your work is bringing the website to life!

We implemented in the past hours:

• Restricted videos: These are free videos but only accessible to WatchFighters members, but not to unregistered visitors. If you upload or edit a video, you can now choose this new option.
• Following categories: You are now able to follow a category

I want to share some bullet points of which features are currently in development and will be rolled out during the following days and weeks, once they are 'done'. (follow our ChangeLog to be informed) - in no particular order:

• Microtransactions: Prices under 5USD(EUR/GBP) - currently, the minimum price which can be selected is $5.00, which is the minimum amount of most credit cards. But for some smaller clips, it might be more helpful to ask for $1.00-3.00. Our solution will be to charge your account with a prepaid amount, e.g $5.00, and then use your charged account to buy low-priced content. - This is entirely optional and only provides more flexibility to monetize your channel.
• WatchFighters hosted content will be more prominent on the site. You will be able to hide embedded videos of 3rd parties. And focus on the content (free and paid) which is uploaded and mostly exclusive to us.
• Redesigned Explore page.
• Filters for free and paid offers.
• General more filter options and search options.
• Exclusive channels: If you monetized your channel, you will be able to make it exclusive, which means no other videos - except your own are shows when someone accesses your profile or videos.

These are our current plans for the near future, and as most plans, are subject too change. If you think we forgot or missed something, please let us know!

It might be easy to forget and should not be your concern, but WatchFighters is still in a BETA phase. Please keep this in mind if something is not working perfectly yet :) But let us know, so we can fix it!

More minor updates are posted in the forum ChangeLog. You can subscribe to the forum thread if you want to be informed about new updates which are not worth a news post.

Again a huge thanks, and I hope you find this new journey as existing as we are!

Best Regards,
The Tech

Hello!

Another two weeks passed since our closed beta started, and today we are moving into the Open Beta.
At first, a big thanks to all closed beta testers for providing their feedback and testing the site!

The paint is still drying on the site, but most features are implemented and tested during the previous beta phases.

The 'beta' label will be staying for a few more weeks to remind every joiner that WatchFighters is currently under heavy construction, and we are looking forward to more feedback. From visitors, viewers but also from content creators.
Please use the Beta Feedback link in the side menu if you encounter any bugs, problems, or general feedback.

If you want to cooperate with us (exclusive content, help during your setup of the monetized channel, or looking for sponsorship), please contact us.

To our daily newcomers: Welcome to WatchFighters and enjoy the site!

On MeetFighters, an introduction to WatchFighters got posted, which has some more information about the reason behind this project.

Best Regards,
WatchFighters

Today we are moving forward to the closed-beta testing of our site. Mocked transactions are no longer possible, and all test content got removed. Over the next few days, we send out random daily invites to all the members who have registered for the closed beta.

Please use the Beta Feedback link in the side menu if you encounter any bugs, problems, or for general feedback.

Based on your feedback and bug reports, the closed-beta will continue for a few days until we move to a public beta. The goal is to launch in the next 3-6 weeks! We are very excited and thank everyone who is helping us with the beta testing project. ❤️

Best Regards

Hello,

Today with the start of the "pre-closed-beta": WatchFighters is alive!

Welcome and thank you for your interest in helping WatchFighters during the closed Beta.
The positive feedback we received from the community surprised us. Next to the usual request, we received a few who mentioned experience in Beta testing or UAT testing.

Having these members on board made us change our approach, and we decided to start a "pre-closed-beta".

The site is stable, and all features we planned for the closed-beta are implemented. The Help Center is still heavily under construction, and some information is outdated. There's rough edges abound.

During the "pre-closed-beta," you can help us test all the site logic. For that, we created an auto-approved payment process - select the appropriate option on the checkout page.

During the "pre-closed-beta," actual money transactions are disabled, and no invoices are created yet.
Therefore please only upload "test content", that is, content you are not actually planning to sell.

You can play around with all options, and you are invited to break the site!

To report any bugs, problems, questions, use the Beta Feedback.

Join the site, and please give me feedback :)

Best Regards
WatchFighters
