I Am On A Sabbatical As Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb

                  As the title says I am taking a break or Sabbatical from running the day to day Operations which now now has been handed over to Charlotte for the day to day operations of the website and team. Couple of reasons for that is 1) I'm stressed 24-7 and need to try and now destress and I am going to if crap stops happening over this way. 2) My grandma has been not well since getting the vaccine for this virus as Jasmine would say, the Backstreet Reunion Tour (LOL.) 3) Now that Entertainment Man Podcast is gone, I have been depressed and dealing with that too. 4) Getting over some drama and always seems to be more added to the list to be honest. 5) The amount of hate, disrespect and being blocked for no apparent reason. Those are my reasons behind why I have taken myself away from CBOTW and why I am not as involved with the team at this time. I know I have been accused of so many different things recently which is beyond what I can believe and it is hard honestly to take this crap from people.

                   However I will still be active on the blog Tuesdays - Fridays on our normal blogging days, I'll be active on Twitter and Instagram posting up stuff but as for the decisions I will not be involved with for the time being while I deal with and get my mental health better then it has been with recently which is the upmost importance to me. Also the Podcasts you will hear my voice but I need to be upfront and honest with all that is happening with my Grandma not doing well, Jasmine will be taking over this week at the most, Thursday at least, I may pop back on Saturday, we'll see how that is goes but more then likely Jasmine will do both this week while I deal with all this and I know they will be happy to take over as long as I need and this is why I have an amazing team, we back each other up either way. When will I return back to ChrisBOnTheWeb? I couldn't honestly tell you guys at this point, now is definitely not the time to make that decision at this moment. I am taking my time with the decision to return and I hope it's soon to be honest and I may wait till my Facebook Ban is over but we will. I just wanted to be more open why I am taking time away and not hide the real truth behind why I haven't said anything and honest reason is I had posts already scheduled for last week and why I have decided to push it to today.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Update [03-15-2021]

Another week is here and time for yet another update. Well it has been an eventful week dealing with a depressed owner and maybe that is why he's taken a Sabbatical from running things is to deal with his Mental Health. I know he's openly spoken about it on Twitter and we're proud of him for being more open to the fact he has some mental health issues right now and being stuck at home most of the time don't help whatsoever. As you can notice on "The Team" he has the tag On A Sabbatical and we do not know how long he is going to be away and I cannot give an ETA on when he's returning to his normal post and with Entertainment Man Podcast now wrapping up Production after a year of it being a part of our network and I am sure he will need time to deal with losing a podcast as I know that was a thing especially when Everything About Reality TV wrapped last year nearly a year ago. 

               Now with Entertainment Man Podcast ending production, the Audio Feeds will be up for at least a month after but you can always find it under "Archives" under the Podcasts or by going to https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/entertainment-man-podcast.html and you can listen to old episodes. It will take sometime to take down the other Audio ONLY Feeds from directories but you can always find it here on our website one way or another. The CBOTW Show is also gearing up to start Big Brother Australia Recaps with your host Chris S and the cast is slowly dropping so hopefully soon we will have an announcement to when Recaps will be up on our Audio ONLY Podcast Network. We also have noticed the amount of spam and disrespect has gone down and we have OFFICIALLY opened to the chat to everyone, guests are now welcome on our chatroom now but if you guys wanna earn mod, then you would have to have an account for that to happen. Also we have put a Terms of Service which you can find here: https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/tos.html. One last thing with the YouTube, Chris has told me it was a computer issue whether he needed to reboot or reboot for an update who knows. They are reconsidering YouTube but more news is coming! That is the updates for this week and I will be back next Monday with an update but expect the unexpected you may just hear from me again, depends if he needs me to post.

I Don't Understand This Facebook Ban!

               As you know I am currently serving a 30 day ban and as I call it I am in Facebook Jail and I have time to think about it and I do not regret getting mouthy yet I do not get the fact how calling someone an Irrelevant B Word is bullying and to be honest its just me being mouthy and I should of not gotten a ban cause I only sent the one comment that's it but it is what it is honestly and I got 24 - 25 days left in my ban before you guys will be seeing me around the Facebook Community again. As for the 30 bans, I think is too much to be honest. My last ban was 1 week and now they jump from 1 week to 30 bans... I just don't get it, I'd thought it'd be 2 weeks then 3 weeks then a month but I guess not, now I am banned for the 30 days. Maybe a break from posting is what I need and honestly is one of the reasons from absence from the day to day operations is because of this but like I said I am still on Twitter and Instagram.

                There has been moments where I was wondering why I am still on the website and to be honest, I have considered leaving the website but that leaves what happens to the Facebook Page and this means that Charlotte would be running the Facebook Page and I wouldn't have anyway to actually keep in touch with you guys to be honest. So this is why I am going to serve my 30 days and just going to watch my P's and Q's as I said I do not understand one little screw up and I get thrown in the Sin Bin for 30 days. When I do return I will be behaving cause you guys cannot afford to lose me again because 30 days are a long time. Anyways I hope you guys this bonus blog post and was indeed a surprise for you guys and I will be back on Tuesday as our resident Site Admin will be back tomorrow with a weekly blog post.

I Need To Address All of This, Enough Is Enough!

               I have to address this. It has been bothering me since I returned to the team and to see our Founder/Owner is so much stress with the countless drama recently he has even stated the interest of giving full ownership to someone else and him stepping down as the Owner. Now he will always have the Founder Status as he Founded this thing almost 7 years ago but honestly it is only threats he's making which I know and the team knows it is just empty threats at this moment. I have several points I would like to make this morning:

1) Blocking Us or Him On Social Media For No Apparent Reason: Chris does not appreciate being blocked for no apparent reason and it has happened before where they just blocked us on Twitter and it has become a very frustrating thing for him and he has considered to unfollow the inactive accounts again but has held off from it.

2) Losing Twitter Followers & YouTube Subscribers: Another thing with us trying to grow our YouTube Channel we have lost a subscriber but I reminded him that we are in the early stages of the growth of the YouTube Channel. The Twitter thing we have been losing followers by the 100s and we were so close to the 4k Mark on the followers but recently have lost the followers and trying everything to try and grow our community again. 

3) Chris giving up Entertainment Man Podcast: He has literally given up Entertainment Man Podcast to grow The CBOTW Show Podcast and the amount of listens on Audio ONLY have been great along with the YouTube channel as well so it is on it's growing spurt. 

                  So for the love of Pete give him a break, enough with the trolling on our chatroom, blocking us for no apparent reason. He does not need this extra stress especially right now with him trying to re-grow the listenership on both Audio and Video (YouTube) side.  That is all I had to say about this and I have given him the rest of the week off from the blog which is only today and tomorrow and Monday since I will be back Monday for a weekly update so it will be Tuesday he will be back on here posting. Have a great rest of you day.

Studio Has Been Tweaked a Bit Again!

 

            The ChrisBOnTheWeb Studios has once again been tweaked and I will explain what I mean. First of all the boom arm I was using for the microphone that is in front of me well that boom arm broke and I had to replace it with Larry's which Larry's is now totally replaced with a newer one that is shorter then what it was and really he don't need overly a long boom arm as I showed on the right hand side it's not a big boom arm but hey he has a boom arm. Yes he still has the old Audio Technica PRO 31 hand held that hasn't changed whatsoever. Reason you haven't seen it in my Facebook and Instagram Stories before it was brought back out is because I had it stored away at the time and it is now back in the studio awaiting his return to the studio whenever that may be as we really do not know. That is change # 1 that I made to the studio and I will get into the next change in a moment but I wouldn't have any other way to actually have Larry's mic and if this boom arm breaks I may just end up getting a microphone stand but I really think boom arms are just better to have as you do not have to move it around that much. 

The second update to the studio and yes you can see Minecraft in the back drop which I will have an update eventually but I am talking about the headphones, yes there are now mounts on the desk unit and now we can hang up the headphones properly and there was actually room for two headphones actually so I could of just got the one but that's OK! They have their own set of mounts for both headphones and the one nearest to where I sit I also use for the Red Headphones which is used on a everyday use. So either way they both are used regardless and look way cooler then it being piled up on the desk and I consider these mounts a definite space saver and I got these on Amazon $2.72 Canadian which is not bad whatsoever and very, very cheap. Don't worry they are very strong in the way of strength as their heavy duty metal but definitely a space saver for the headphones and I got more room to do other things on the desk. Anyways that is my post for today and I am sorry if I am a bit late then the normal scheduled post but I got distracted this morning recording the podcast and tweeting about BBCAN9. I will talk to you all on tomorrow's post!

Sick Of Being Isolated and Stuck At Home!

             I am just tired of this pandemic. It has affected me physically and also mentally but mostly mentally. It has been an mental game for me in the last year and I am just tired 24-7, my sleep is so screwed up to be honest. I am up most of the night then sleeping till the afternoon at times which really screwed up for my sleep to be honest. There is nights that I am up all night and sleep and I've ended up banned 3 times since the lockdown and honestly I am done with Facebook and about to delete my account entirely as a whole and just stick to Twitter and Instagram. However back to being stuck at home, really got nothing to do either then work itself for this website or video games or card or board games but to be honest, it gets boring after a little while and the same routine day in and day out. Yeah I can go for walks and once and a blue moon make a trip to Walmart but I do not do it too often and some other days I find myself stuck at home and bored out of my mind. I also find myself napping for 3 - 4 hours at a time which really does mess up my entire sleep schedule.

              I need to get it fixed and fast and I probably be a lot happier person to be honest. This pandemic has made me fat again and I've gained weight and I haven't been overly active and I try to walk but no matter what I do I seem I am just a fat loser now at this point. I really am just sick and tired of this pandemic and wish it'd get back to a new normal at this moment. It has been frustration after frustration and I ready to be able to go back out and see friends and have Larry and Eric back here again but that isn't happening as the damn cases in Ontario have gone up once again it just grrrrrrrr so frustration to be honest. That is my little rant blog for today and I will talk to you all on tomorrow's blog post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-08-2021]

               Another week has come and went and this means it is time for another weekly update for you all. I haven't been merely impressed in some of the behavior seen here on the website and I will explain:

Website: With the chatroom here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com I am not impressed. The amount of disrespect that has been given towards myself, Chris and the team in general and I know this is one of the # 1 reasons why he has stated he's considered not being as involved with the chatroom community and his stress has become very very high. I had to ban 6 trolls over the weekend and starting to question the chatroom existing. Now we have it on where you have to login at this point and we haven't changed it back since and are leaving the chat where you have to login to chat with everyone and this might be the best thing moving forward for all of us. This has to stop before we end up shutting the chatroom down or suspending operations of having the chat open to the public. This inappropriate behavior isn't acceptable and we have to do better as a community. Chris wants a clean, positive and happy community. There is no ETA when we will allow guests again and I am in constant contact with Chris about this and when we feel ready we will be sure to let you guys know but for right now guest chat is suspended.  

The CBOTW Show: As you know Chris has become backlogged with podcasts right now as we just posted up Thursdays eviction on Sunday morning before Entertainment Man Podcast went up. Now do not forget we have another podcast to go up and the reason behind that is because he had some things going on Saturday that needed his attention this is why we are backlogged or he is backlogged and he's jeopardized his sleep to just get this content out to you guys. Chris promised to get back on a schedule this week for the podcast in the way of scheduling to record and no more tech issues whatsoever.

                   This is all I have to really say for this week, not much for updates, honestly as we are readjusting to 3 - 4 podcasts and we will get better as the weeks go on as we have so much amazing stuff going on right now. We gotta continue the positive love and support for this community. I will see you guys next week, have a wonderful week in the meantime.
