My Weekend Winter Adventure- January 2021

               Over the weekend, I had the chance to go out for a walk with my dad and I found this to be a photo op for content and you know this is content in the bag for me. Gives me the opportunity to actually create content for you guys. Anyways we went to McLaughlin Bay Reserve which really is only a few minute drive from the house for us and close. We got there and there it trust me it was a busy place but don't worry we stayed our 6 feet distance from people despite this pandemic going on right now that is the most important thing. We walked about 2 hours and I thought honestly we were not going to far in but 2 hours my butt we ended up going that long and honestly that's OK, I need to do 2 hour walks from time to time. I know it was painful on my knee going though the snow. Anyways i had a Chickadee on my hand and my dad got a good still of the bird looking at the camera. Also the way the snow was beautiful and was really nice.

       Nature was definitely on my side as I got a picture of a Squirrel posing for the picture, got a pic of an Cardinal as well. The picture on the right of this text  is branches that reach across the path above the pathway which is really cool and I took a few different types of pictures actually but you can find them on on my Instagram for all the pictures that I have posted up for you guys. Honestly there is so much I can say about my Hike and yeah we interacted with a few people as they always said hi to us. Either way it was really nice to actually get out and just walk and get out in nature and maybe I need to do this more often and I think that is what I am going to do today is get out and actually walk and enjoy my time out and about. That is what I have to say and I hope you enjoyed this post and be sure to be on the lookout for an additional post not from me but from Matt as he wants to update you on the progress on the website work that is being done behind the scenes.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [01-03-2020]

             First of all Happy New Year!!!!!! We all made it into 2021! Chris, Billy, Larry and Myself promise you guys this year will be a lot better as he announced some dates and things that are going to be happening for CBOTW in 2021. We certainly hope you guys had a wonderful New Years and ChrisBOnTheWeb is back in the saddle once again. Now with this being our 3rd in 2021, there are no real updates but Chris working on Entertainment Man Podcast, the Collab and that 3rd project that is underway right now. So I would like to take this opportunity to actually to address something that happened last year that we have been keeping silent about. There was some drama last year that has happened with a pile of people who once supported us and I want to say this, we will not tolerate disrespect and moving forward if we see any disrespect, you will be blocked or banned from our social media. We work our butts off on content and growing this community to have this disrespect thrown at us.  

 

              The next thing I'd like to address is the former Community Lounge which has since then been replaced by the Discord Server which has done extremely well and it is a ton better then Chatango. Let me explain.... With this chatbox we had we did not allow users or guests to use VPN's as we have had troll issues in the past and that became problematic for us as VPN's were used and yet we had "do not allow VPN's" on. So it is a problem with their block system on their chat service. So Chris and myself deleted all accounts, Billy's, my own, Chris's Staff account and the main admin account have since then been deleted along with the chat system as well. We have since then we've moved to Discord Server which I did do a post and you can find the Discord Server on the right hand side next to the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram buttons or by going to https://discord.com/invite/tQAtafvUMw and signing up for a Free account as our server we have it securely tight as there will be 0 tolerance for drama or disrespect moving forward. I will talk to you guys next week with an update to what has been done in the last week, have a great week and I will talk with you next Sunday. 😀

2021 and What Is Planned for ChrisBOnTheWeb!

              2021 is going to be promising for the website and content! Today I am going to expose what the plans are and I actually been hiding a ton of stuff from you guys. Right now there is one thing I cannot tell you guys yet and that will be for Matt to tell you guys down the road on the 15th of January to be exact. Anyways here is what is in stored for 2021:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Returns on Sunday, January 10th, 2021 at the normal time @ 1 pm EST with a brand new season and the podcasts 2nd season to be exact and got monthly interviews lined up over the next few months.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: As you guys know there is one episode remaining before the hiatus and you know the Hiatus will be a lengthy Hiatus for Larry and I but the part that you do not know and I am going to tell you guys we are planning to return in June. This gives us 6 months to get ourselves straightened out with Podcasts and the plan we are having is June for SPD and Mystic Force, October for Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury and December for RPM and Samurai. We will then be back in January 2022 for a new collab and we should be by then to be back on track.

Possibly Another Collaboration Podcast: Another collaboration Podcast is on the horizon and I have spoken with my potential Co-Host and I am excited for a new opportunity. We do not know the entire details as of yet. It is Reality TV related and a Big Brother Collaboration Podcast. Also it will be an seasonal thing kind of like Larry and I's podcast but again no details are available as of yet as it is in the planning stages. Don't worry non of the other podcasts will be affected whatsoever. 

Events:  I am not going to say anything on this topic but right now I am playing everything by ear at this moment and with the Corona Virus still very much a thing, there is no events really planned at this moment and I do not wanna take a risk. Right now we are currently in Lockdown at this moment and no plans to actually  for events till things really settle down. So I am not going to say anything but at this point more then likely no events at this time. I hope this clears things up a bit.

Studio Lockdown: This is another thing that I cannot really say as I do not know when Larry will be allowed to come back to the studio and honestly it is quite difficult to pinpoint the plan is moving forward but any podcast will be done online.

            There are the plans for 2021 and I am sure this year will be amazing and I know I left out the site work but that information is coming in the next few weeks in the middle of the month but when it is time, Matt will explain the plans with the website and the enormous change that is going to happen. Anyways I will talk to you all on Monday with regular posts again.

Happy New Year! 2021 Is OFFICIALLY Here!

              First of all, I wanna wish you guys a very Happy New Year! Hope you didn't get too crazy over New Years Eve! I know I didn't I had a beer in the evening to celebrate and a small glass of wine when we rolled into 2021. Anyways, this year has a lot of cool stuff happening and minor changes to CBOTW.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Heading into 2021, I promised some interviews and guests and I promise you guys I will get some guests on there 3 Alumni are set to appear but no guarantees with 2 of them as we are still currently in Quarantine and it is hard as two of them do not have Skype and rather be in studio to record it. Anyways also I got a ton of tops throughout the year and this year promises to be a better year for this podcast as this is one of my primary focuses right now so looking at least 50 new episodes weekly this year and I am excited for it.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Excited to record the remainder of the verbal agreement or contract we had with one another so another collab is coming your way this month before we go on a lengthy hiatus till mid year and while we fix our tech issues we had last year and catch up on the notes and a post is coming about the timeline I'm looking at this collab.

Events: No ETA when I will be able to go to events so right now things are on hold at this current moment and I cannot tell you guys exactly when I will be back to those, it depends if cases get lower but you can expect me to not be in Toronto for Toronto events anytime soon, not this year at the most, but looking into 2022 at the most for returning to events but again we will see.

                 I am excited for this year and continuing on with the projects and even potentially collaborating with other podcasts and having them as a guest on Entertainment Man Podcast and potentially make some new amazing connections and continue to stay in touch with all my current connections. Again Happy New Year to you guys and I wish you nothing but the best in 2021!

2020, Year In Review!

                This year has been terrible for ChrisBOnTheWeb. So much went wrong for me as a content creator from losing Staff to losing a Podcast, that I loved dearly and not being able to go to events was another big problem but I am going to break it down on this post:

Everything About Reality TV: I loved this podcast with every fiber in my body and I would of continued on with it if I had hosts who could commit to their weekly podcast. Also my head wasn't in it anymore with this podcast to be honest. I left my own podcast not on the best of terms and I know there was a ton of disappointed people and lost a pile of followers because I wasn't doing the Reality TV Podcast but those who stayed, I thank you for your continuous support of the projects I am still doing to this day. I really regret the way I went out of this podcast in bad terms, but least I ended it with the Back To Basics Amazing Race episode.

Staff: I think this is the year that I had to let go staff for not doing their part and there has been some who I have blocked or I've been blocked by but that is their choice. You have to remember this is my website, I am the content creator here and I call the shots whether I wanna end a project or whatever I wanna do with it. Also for me to be on my own now is the best decision I can have. I know that I am pretty much on my own with some help, not much help right now but I really do not need much help at this moment. Those who have contributed in the last couple of months, Larry, Kelsie and Billy, I thank you for everything.

Events: I am disappointed the fact that I wasn't able to do events and very little photography was done as I normally do in a year but hopefully soon I will be able to get back into a regular routine once this COVID-19 passes but may not be till 2022 but we will have to wait and see really. 

Entertainment Man Podcast & Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: I am blessed to actually have both of these podcasts in my routine on a weekly basis and 3 times a year and has become my main two projects at this moment and I am honestly having a ton more fun with these and I have gotten into em both of them.

                This year has been full of up's and downs this year and hopefully New Years and 2021 will be full of more positivity and exciting new opportunities for the website and podcasts and never know what will happen. I have a plan that I will tell you guys tomorrow, either way have a fantastic New Years Eve and Happy New Year to you all!

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

600 Views On The Community Lounge!

 

Hey! I decided to take over the blog today and give him a break from blogging. Trust me he's been working long hours with the site plans, Collaboration Podcast and also Entertainment Man Podcast so he's got 3 things going on right now and honestly he's stated he will be working on January 1st, 2021 hoping to take time off on the weekend on the Sunday. Anyways the reason why I am posting today is to bring amazing news with this website. The Community Lounge continues to grows with the website and within a month of this site having the Community Lounge back on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com we have hit 600 + views (602 Views to be exact.) Which is incredible to be honest. That was a screenshot of the page stats from the back end of the website. I know, the chat isn't active with ton of users but the fact people are popping on that exact page is amazing and I am always hiding out in chat and I always keep my name in there even when I sleep. 

 

                The One thing that needs to be done is get the chat moving is promoting the Community Lounge and getting people in there. Now we continue to commit to having it open to guest chat even with the past history of guest trolls but that seems to be fine. We have had some issues even with the VPN not allowed on the website that seems to be a problem as we had a bunch of trolls and we did a lookup as both of us can see who is who on the website. It says it's a VPN or Proxy and yet we banned that so the trolling would be limited. We may have to reach out to Chatango about that but the trolling has limited down. I wanna thank you all for the continued support on behalf of myself, Larry, Billy and Chris and it's because of you guys you make ChrisBOnTheWeb a success on a daily basis.
