Just Some Random Updates

                Since I am the Director of Operations which I do the day to day operations of the company and we know things are a bit strange especially with The CBOTW Show-- TV & Movie Podcasts and Chris is planning to release at least one tonight at 6 pm EST and he napped for a few hours and got up and was in the studio at 130 am EST. It shows a ton of dedication to making things better.

        As I said in the weekly newsletter, we are moving our posts to Sunday mornings at this moment as we think it is better and it is the start of the week and it makes a lot more sense to us and our analytics say Mondays are better but we want to send it out at the beginning of the week not the second day. Chris and I did a back and forth over this but I am happy the newsletter is doing so well. Those are a couple of updates and thank you to Chris for allowing me to talk about a couple of things and I hope to come back next week to write another. We are progressing well things for us.

Have Been Making Some Changes to CBOTW Media...

           The decisions that we have made has been good decisions:

No More Kick: I have gracially RETIRED from gaming streaming and regular casting sites to focus on the podcasts which we now have 3 running and I will talk about that tomorrow with the schedule being revamped moving forward with an even better schedule.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The beloved podcast makes a return to the airwaves after a month of being off for a shortened 7th season with it returning for an 8th season in January 2026. The podcast will remain on Audio ONLY moving forward.

Discord: Revamping everything and reviewing the rules of the server including our roles on there as well and how we continue to do things till I am happy so it's an on-going project at the moment. We've been dealing with a ton of spam on our server at the moment.

Website: The website has been updated numerous time and we are merely doing that till we are ready and at this moment we are on track for January 2026 of our 3rd podcast in our network that is being added. 

           Anyways those are the changes and I hope you have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning for another blog post.

Discord Server is Fully Functional!

               Discord is back up and running and I know we've been through this song and dance so much in the last 5 years. Everything is set to what it use to look like back then but it is there and I am not as active as I was before but I do see messages while I am working on content. I know I have a lot more time on my hands to work on other content but not only that I have time to interact on the Discord with you guys. 

              Everything is the same minus we've added a Meeting Room 2 and CBOTW Studio as well to the entire thing and adding a Music channel so you guys can request music and the Lara Bot will play it for you so that is one of my next projects for the server moving forward. Entertainment Man Podcast has been archived, hidden and locked from anyone seeing it but it is still active as there is a possibility of it returning the future but I highly doubt it honestly. After Hours with Shane and Chris has been added and is hidden and locked from conversation till we're ready to go next month. Anyways anyone that wants join can join here: https://discord.gg/2ABDvq6aQs

Discord Server is Back!

                The Discord Server community is back. Please remember the rules under the #rules are to be read before chatting. We are not going to tolerate, disrespect, drama anymore. We will not be as easy on the rules. Our community is a Clean Positive space and we will not put up with anyone's problems with people, like oh so and so said this... No! Enough is enough! I will be completing the On-Boarding and rules will pop up as you enter the server. 

             After talking to the rest of my team, we have started to work together a lot better and we've discussed a lot of things together as a team. With that we have removed Moderators as that has become a bit of an issue as we have had issues. So our thoughts was this was the best decision with the server. Less drama on who is mod, etc. I respect my team's decision and why their part of the amazing team. I have respected them a lot more in the last week or two. We are the dream team. Anything in the past is in the past. You guys are welcome to join by clicking the button on the right side or by clicking these words Anyways that is the second post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Thing's I'd like to Complete This week!

            There are a bunch of things, I need to get done this week and obviously I want to share and will make you guys excited what's coming up next for us!

Interview Prep for this week's episode: As Sara probably has said to you guys I have an interview with Dr. Shafer and I was on her show about a month and a half ago and I am so excited for this interview. There is another interview, I'm looking forward to the interview with Gilda at the end of July as well.

Working on the Discord Server: This is a new thing for us as we just returned to Discord since we ended the Facebook Group all together and was our decision to end the Facebook Group due to lack of activity and also drama. 

Website additions: As you know I've been wanting to separate the content schedule from the events and have a very cool idea involving the tables we have been using over the years and will take a bit of work but I think it will most definite look good and we can rotate everything as events pass. 

The CBOTW Show: The CBOTW Show is on the move again and been a couple of weeks since the last recording, maybe even about a month but I want to get back to it even with my open time.

Record a couple of videos: I want to record a couple of videos both for during this week, Second sit down Update Video, including fun little videos, a vlog for next weekend and of course the Motivational Wednesday videos as well. 

             There is my long list and I'm sure I will get them done in a timely matter and will take things one by one and go day by day at this time.  I will talk to you all on Wednesday for another blog post!

End of The Week Updates [05-11-2024]

                This is my final end of the week updates for 2 weeks as Chris has given me next week off from the blog and plus there will not be a lot of updates to be given that week as he's away half of the week and I wish him a safe travel and to have a good time. So to the updates, Chris has finished up all the recordings and finishing up editing the podcast editing for the next 2 weeks till he's back and ready to get back into recording new episodes. He isn't booking any new interviews right now till he gets back and settled back in and sounds like start of June for him to start back up with interviews again.

                The Discord server continues to flourish and grow and is always busy and active especially with my best friend, Brooke as an intern with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media who's help Chris, Larry and I run the server. Also the Facebook Group has returned and is active as well as ever can be which is great to see. Chris will be back in about 2 weeks from today for streaming and excited to catch back up with you all with the streams again on weekends. Finally, he plans on working on The CBOTW Show for future episodes before he leaves for Quebec on Wednesday this upcoming week and going to see how much he can get done. So there are the updates for the week, I will be monitoring the socials, email and Discord as always if you have any questions as Chris will be away, he's left me in charge and I will speak to you all 2 weeks from now.

I'm Back In The Saddle!

           Well I am back in the saddle after being away from doing fresh blogs for you guys. It has been a busy, emotional last few weeks and now I am in the healing stage and yes literally healing stage. For those who didn't know, I ended up having a freak accident by cutting my hand with glass where you could see my tendon in my hand which isn't very good whatsoever. So I was in the hospital a week ago to get stitches. Tomorrow I'm getting those stitches out of my hand hopefully it's healed enough for it but I think it is. 

           Also the last week where all blogs and podcasts have been done and finished, well I had a hard time taking notes for The CBOTW Show which I know I have to explain at the end of the week cause a lot has happened since getting back here. I will talk more about that at the end of the week. Trip was good got there safely, despite we had to take off and go for a second time around for final approach. Coming back we went south of Toronto Island and Billy Bishop Airport aka Toronto Island Airport. Took us a while to get home afterwards. Also got myself a Quebec key chain, Montreal Expos hat and a Quebec hoodie. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Addressing Discord and Some Recent Drama....

            Recently there has been some drama with the Discord with Demanding to speak to Chris when he was offline, busy work content. That is his job is to be a content creator. He cannot be paying attention to the Discord 24-7. He and we all have things to do, life, work, etc. You guys have to realize myself, Billy and Jasmine (JWL1988) on Discord are here to help. We know exactly what is going on with CBOTW, we do have the knowledge as well as Chris works with us constantly with updates to the website, blog, podcast or content in general. To come on the Discord and demand for Chris is NOT needed. Also we have rules and to ask for Mod we know you personally and you have to earn Mod. There is a dedicate channel and if you ask a member or the Management Team or Mod we can type #discord-server-rules and all you do is click it. There are buttons you can press to see the chatters list and also top left is where you hit to see a list of channels. We tried to help, we explained there is rules to follow. 

 

             To accuse Chris "This is the way you treat your fans" when he was feeling frustrated the way you treated not just me but our moderator by saying "I do not trust them." That is just outright rude when the Management Team and Moderators work hard to keep the community a clean, positive place to be. Plus you do not know anything about them or even got to know em even if you just jooined the Discord Server. We will not tolerate it and if we have to ban we will. This is unacceptable behavior and to disobey the rules when we were clear to where it was and we tagged it. Anyways I wanted to address the situation and we are trying our best but please guys, read the rules under #discord-server-rules it is clearly there. Show us a little respect we are trying our hardest. Like our former "Community Lounge" our Discord Server also has rules and they have to be followed. I will talk to you all tomorrow at 11 am EST for an website update.

Change of Plans! Chat Is Gone Permanently and We've Got A Discord Server Now!

          Chris has allowed me to slip in this bonus blog post this morning before the normal post from him goes up. As you probably have noticed with the website that the Community Lounge has disappeared and it was a decision by the entire Management Team and Chris to remove it once and for all for several reasons why really and here are the reasons behind our decision:

1) Chat was inactive: I was the only one in there recently despite the views have been extremely well but just not activity minus the occasional time Chris is in the Lounge from time to time.

2) Trolls: We have had our share of trolls recently spamming the chatroom with VPN's after we banned VPN's and we frown upon the use of them as it makes it easy to troll the chat.

           So with the Discord Server, it already has become an active community on there and also the Management Team of myself, Chris and hopefully Billy and Tiala on there today. A week Monday we hope to get Larry on there under the Alum title as well. The link can be found under the Discord logo to the right hand side next to our our Social Media's or by going to http://discord.com/invite/tQAtafvUMw to join our wonderful community. This will prevent trolling because one ban and not just your account but your IP is banned since the server is based by IP and not just your username and there is no way to come back unless Management or Moderation (Moderators) unban you. I think this is the better decision to have a server and even Billy is getting people to join this community. I know a chat on the website brings in views but this also clears up room for what we have planned in February with the reconfiguration with the website. I wanna say we had concern we wouldn't be able to fit it in but now we can. Please feel free to sign up with Discord, it's free and join our Community. We will post up the link on Social Media so you can join and pin it to the top of our posts.

Anyways have a Happy New Year,

Matt, Site Admin
