I like that when I'm watching a stream on Twitch.tv, I can toggle the right hand side where the stream chat is, so that I'm not in full screen mode, but the actual stream viewing window is larger. I think it'd be swell if we could do that on tf.tv while watching a stream. If we could toggle the right hand side that shows chat/other streams, and maybe the left hand side as well so that we can see the sidebars containing the upcoming events/articles/threads, that would be great.

All you would end up with is larger black bars on the side I believe, because both Twitch/TFTV maintain the same aspect ratio. The stream wouldn't actually be larger.
Also can you explain why you would want the regular site sidebar on the stream page? It doesn't update without refreshing, and it seems unlikely that someone would refresh a stream page to see the sidebar updated.

Yeah I suppose that's true, but it'd still be a nice option. Maybe I want to check how much longer til an event starts, I can open it in a new tab from the regular site sidebar without having to leave the stream. And even if there are just bigger black bars, it'd be a cleaner look. Just a suggestion, if no one else likes/wants it, no worries.

I could see what you mean with event timers. Since we are in site suggestions and this is fairly on topic, I'll leave it here as well.
Can the countdown timers in the sidebar update in real-time, perhaps once they drop under 1 hour remaining. It doesn't add any additional server strain, and it's just a simple script.
Also, rather than having the timers go into negative time, wouldn't it be better to just say [LIVE].
I think these, combined with vanillas idea could be useful, so people can tell when to switch streams if an event goes live.
