We Have Reached 100K On ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

               Over the weekend, we officially hit the 100k mark here on the website which is amazing to be honest and thought it wouldn't be till this week but you guys proved me wrong and we officially passed the 100k mark and making our way up to 200k and so forth! I'd love to see the site hit 1M views at one point of time. It will but right now, we continue to keep on growing this website and we have a ton of stuff happening and we recently and I cannot say exactly what but that is besides the point as this is about the viewership. Yet we are told oh you don't get the views when that is utterly false technically, we are happily getting a ton of views per day and every day is different and to be honest it fluctuates from day to day as it is a different story each and everyday. I was guessing that we would of hit 100k by the New Year which is months but you have to realize tho with the amount of views a day it adds up in the end to be honest. This all happened on Saturday afternoon while I was talking to Eric and that was when that happened all together and I was excited, I was so thrilled we hit 6 figures in the views and hopefully we can start earning again and that is a story for another day which more then likely I will not ever tell I don't think.

                 I want to thank you guys for your continuing support and it is because of you guys that we are still here to this almost 6 years later and we are getting and becoming a stronger group and we will continue to strive and get stronger as I said there is even more bigger plans in the works and I am excited to announce an additional thing on the website but it is currently in the works right now but with the amount of views we get daily, this is the right time to slowly continue to expand on the website. Now I am not talking about thousands of views a day, I am more talking about a few hundred at the most 100 - 300 a day which is a lot more then we had since we decided to go into the .com website in 2019 that is when things started to pick up in the views so it goes to show. The fact that we also built our own menu bar from scratch and customized it to our liking and that is another big breaking point which brought in more views. The more features we added to the website the better!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Update [08-30-2020]

            This is our last Weekly blog post for the month of August as we are heading into the fall and September this week, I do have some updates for you guys that are great updates for this week. Again another busy week for Chris and the rest of us here at CBOTW and we have been so busy lately it is unreal. Here are the updates:

Power Rangers Podcast: Chris has officially finished Wild Force and the podcast has been put to the side at this moment as he is working on other projects that is more important but this week he's gonna hopefully get back into it and back into the groove of things for that so he can be ready for end of September when him and Larry record the next one via Skype. 

 Podcasts: He wanted me to make it clear to you guys that he is planning to record podcasts via Skype as he is not planning on opening the studio to his team at this moment as this pandemic isn't over yet and he is planning to keep it closed till start of January 2021 at this moment. So this means Entertainment Man Podcast episodes with the team or Power Rangers Podcast will be recorded through Skype or StreamYard. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Chris has completed episode # 6 notes and will be working on recording it this week and editing it as he will be returning to it this week and he is very excited to be returning to the podcast after a 5 month hiatus, he is getting back into it. 

6th Anniversary: We are in full steam ahead with Anniversary planning and we have to do one last thing and that is record an anniversary podcast for just the website alone, edit it and have it ready to post and for the most part we will be ready minus scheduling the Live Stream that day and we will have a full schedule out this week from Chris himself, not sure what day it will be on but it will be this week. 

 

         There is the updates for the week and we had a ton more to say this week as we have a lot ahead of us and looking forward to getting a ton more stuff done this week so we can start releasing this stuff to you guys in the very nearby future and we're on a very busy time of the year even without going to events, we are still very much busy with things. Till next week, have a great week and I will speak to you guys next week!

What Is This? A Weight Loss Update?!

               Yes, your eyes are not seeing things! Here is an weight loss update after a little over a month I guess but who knows how long it has been since I have thrown in an update but for those who are wonder, I have been struggling with losing weight. I was down to 229 again at some point but gained up to 234 but now I have actually lost 3 pounds and I find cutting back on food and sugary drinks has actually helped a ton and I am going to continue this journey and I know it's not gonna get easy especially when I get down to 222 again that is what got me was I was not losing anymore but I am going to work on it. My ultimate goal is 200 pounds for right now and that is as far as I wanna go for right now. However, first of all I have to get down to where I was originally and 3 pounds for the week is pretty darn good. I can say this, I will be happy when I am back in the 220's again. But focus is to get in there first and I think I am doing a pretty good job and maybe next week's update you guys will see me lose another 3 pounds and I will be in the 220's again. I am aiming for at least 1 or 2 pounds a week. However 1 pound a week is my ultimate goal, I do not wanna set a high goal at this moment. 

                  There is my update for the week and I am starting to feel a ton better abotu this weight loss journey and I am not letting myself getting anymore heavier then I am. I am heading downwards not upwards and I am ready to take the next step. This could be water weight this could just be weight coming off.  Either way I want to make a correction it was 3 pounds I have lost all together as I was 234 as I did the math incorrectly 234 - 3 is 231 which is where I was. I know my math has gone off recently but hey that's OK I wrote this at 4 am EST this morning so I was just waking up from my sleep as I passed out early last night. I hopefully will have another update next week for you guys with another update but you will still hear from me on Monday as tomorrow is my usual day off and my staff take over the blog with a weekly update for you guys.

I Am Over 2020.. SMH!

            I am so over this year. This year has been the worse not just me, ChrisBOnTheWeb... I had a host for Big Brother Canada Recaps but things ended up going wrong and not just the start of things Big Brother Canada was shortened and of course the podcast you all knew and loved was cancelled entirely as we just did not know what was to happen in the way of Reality TV Shows minus Big Brother 22, Tough As Nails and Amazing Race. We found out there will be no Survivor and I was just getting so overwhelmed with it, I ended up turning the podcast loose and it has been archived. Don't get me wrong Reality Teas, Billy and Larry were great through all the things and they were right I had to do what makes me happy.  Anyways on top of that I had 2 people I knew, one from softball and the other person I knew from High School which she was a classmate of mine in Home Ech. So this year has had it's up's and down with depression and frustrations to mental health being really bad this year. 

           I am just over with 2020 and with this virus or pandemic, it's really made me to readjust my everyday schedule even for myself and the Staff of ChrisBOnTheWeb. As you know I put our studio on lock down  Anyways I am just ready for 2021 and a fresh start to a new year to be honest as I am just tired of all of this and it's been nothing but one thing after another to be honest. Another thing I would like to mention I have been on and off with the depression since being locked up in the house for the past but I am trying to hang in there to be honest but 2020 really stunk this year. I am just ready for Christmas and the New Year to come and bring in a new year for us. I just cannot wait till I have freedom to roam around the city again and I know that day is going to come. I already spoke about my parents taking me to the mall and I take the bus back but that's much later, I am not ready for that stage yet. I am only taking 5 - 12 minute bus trips for now as I am still very much uncomfortable right now. Anyways I cannot wait till the end of the year and wish it would HURRY UP! lol.

Video Games Updates [08-27-2020]

                  This morning I want to update you guys on Video Games. I know I try and do this every week to every 2nd week at the most. So I made some changes and got rid of some of the games actually and let's start with that. I got rid of Spelunky as I just got too frustrated with it but it's easy to actually bring it back if I'd wish to play it again since I did buy it on Steam. Also got rid of a few other games that I just do not play anymore and I do not remember exactly. Now let's do some updates on the video games I do play:

- American Truck Simulator: I got DLC for Idaho, Washington, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon  which means I can actually go to other states now and deliver which is awesome. It is worth $12.99 each which is not too bad really and I have had a bit of time to play the game a bit and been to Oregon and New Mexico and was really cool to see something different.

- Grand Theft Auto 5: I have been playing Grand Theft Auto 5 redoing the entire story mode from scratch which technically I lost the saved file which I believe I killed Micheal at the end but this time I wanna keep all 3 of them and keep the 3 musketeers together. However I'd consider doing away with Trevor as I find him annoying but yes hilarious too!

- The Binding of Issac Rebirth: I admit the orbital tears that go in a circle is a very hard to go all the way to win that challenge and it is one of the toughest challenges I have done so far but I am going to keep on going with the game. 

- The Sims 4: Larry has his own sim again and honestly I have considered deleting all the sims which a ton of work as I have put hours into the game with house renovations and making new sims and what not but honestly it's become out of control again but they will die eventually I'm sure and houses will be become available eventually. What I should one day is fill every single house on the game with Sims, really make it chaotic.. lmao!

             Anyways there is my updates for this week and maybe in 2 weeks I will be back with another gaming update but for the most part I got a ton of work to do ChrisBOnTheWeb wise but I am sure I will make time for actually playing video games and probably will get an update out to you guys in a few weeks at the most. Hope you guys enjoyed this update and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Update!

             Today marks the end of me watching Power Rangers Wild Force which means only one thing... I get to start to type up notes. I am hoping by next week to have em finished and I can send it off to Larry. He doesn't know I will be sending off the notes to him so he has them. It is nice to be done watching the episodes and able to start typing the notes. I and not going to be watching Ninja Storm for a while maybe till a week or 2 later due to the fact that I need a break from this. I do enjoy watching the series and getting important notes from it, but it is a very long and tiring process and I do need a break. However once Wild Force is fully complete, I can sit back think wow we are this far and trust me we have gotten very far with the show and I wanna continue if Larry wants to continue. I know I sent Larry a message saying I feel like I was ready to move on but it all depends on the views that we get from this podcast, it really depends on that.

              Don't think I will be thinking about the next step because I want to be ready to go as we are stepping back with 2 less episodes. Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder are at least 38 episodes long and we are now stepping down in the number of episodes and it will eventually be in the early 20's eventually but right now we remain in the later 30's in the way of episodes at this moment. So the length of the podcast will change eventually Mystic Force will be down in the early 30's and yeah while typing up these notes I looked it up and by the time we hit Samurai we will be down to 20 episodes. So we will be getting lower in the numbers but don't worry it will be still fun to do even if we end up continuing this for that long and honestly I am sure it will as long as you guys listen to the show  we will continue producing it all together!

ChrisBOnTheWeb 6 Year Anniversary Plans?

             This media group is getting close to it's 6th Anniversary, to be exact, November 14th is our anniversary. Well, I have already worked on tweaking our current logo and banners for  this very website and social media platforms that we have. I am not going to make overall big deal but yeah 6 years is a long time for us but I just think it is a good idea to not make overall big deal however my staff gave me the idea to do a video about some of the different favorite moments that we have been through over the years and honestly since it was a split between YouTube and Podcasting but don't worry I have some ideas and it is on my list. As you know I am near finished with Wild Force and will be typing up the notes but soon as that is finished I am going to work on this Anniversary stuff as I plan to take a week off from Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast stuff and I think I wanna get this done. 

              Now when are the logo and banners going live on the website? I was set on October 1st, 2020 but I have decided to put the logos up everywhere on September 1st, 2020 and it will remain up till January 1st, 2021! Now video I did mention will be up on November 14th around 1 pm EST on Facebook Page and Instagram Pages and I cannot wait for you guys to see the video and I even do not know what is on it as it hasn't been recorded as of yet at this moment, however it will be soon recorded but I am planning to hopefully next week at the latest but we will see how far I get with the notes and I woke up during the night during a thunderstorm originally so decided to get some work done but it is on my long list of things to do before the Anniversary day arrives and we get to celebrating. Finally, I may do a premiere on Facebook for this video as well on top of a Live Stream with Staff in the evening if they want to but that is a discussion for us to have down the road but I would like us to do a FB Live and even if it was on my own that was fine too but again that is up to the staff and I but we will let you guys know the plan for that day soon on the line-up. I got a ton of ideas right now including airing an old classic episode of The Entertainment Man Talk Show! Also a collaboration podcast with Larry but again I will let you guys know soon on a schedule throughout the day.

Something Is Up With Chris

              Chris is off today and he's not in a good frame of mine today. I will make it clear that I think he has made it clear that he is moving on after December. Part of what he's told myself and the staff of CBOTW that he's not thinking too far ahead and focusing on SPD and Mystic Force at this time but yet I remember him saying on FB Story and Instagram Stories that he was gonna start working on it but that seems to now be on the way side of things. He's been back and forth ever since he had it out with Larry with that technical issues. Yeah there has been drama between between the two of em which is ridiculous and I wish they'd get along as Chris has again in his stubborn ways told Larry that he's done, he's pretty sure there will be no renewal and the reason I am bringing up his actions is cause we all know Larry is away from the online life in August normally. I realize Chris is dealing with two friends passing away and Larry is going to somehow wonder but I know his email is in the CBOTW system and I can easily warn him ahead what's happening. However we are getting off topic aren't we? Well this all ties into what has been going on with him in his personal life and honestly Chris cracked yesterday and skipped his normal dinner time pills so his mood went really bad and I told him, he's gotta take it.

              Again, we're off topic again. I'm sure by January 2021 we will see a freakin renewal of our beloved collaboration podcast even if the numbers were bad for one episode and one episode only. It was a rough go for the two of them so I hope that he chooses to keep it going further as he is so close to his goal which is Samurai which he has time and time again talked to me about recently that being one of his ultimate goals to get with the big one to do ever single season eventually. This is a reason for why he should continue but it's his podcast and he can do what he wishes but don't forget Chris has a partner in this so should be a dual decision in the end.  Chris is stubborn and a lot of us have been saying this for years that he can be very stubborn person especially when it comes to something he is very passionate about, aka CBOTW. Let's just hope he changes his mind and I know he'd want you guys to know what's going on with him and maybe he will come out and say it one of these days.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Updates [08-11-2020]

               It has been a hectic week for all of us, especially Chris who has been working hard on Power Rangers Wild Force but I will get into that today. Not much to really update you guys on but here are your updates for the week.

Website: The site continues to grow with views even without the chatroom no longer present on here anymore as you know we removed it anyways, we still continue to grow on the website and the numbers continue to grow which is a very positive thing. 

Power Rangers Podcast: Chris is finishing up watching Wild Force today and he will be typing up notes tomorrow morning which will be a lengthy process but he will get it done. Then he will probably take a small break for a week or few days at the most and start on Ninja Storm for the final podcast for 2020. 

Sports Talk With Bulldog: He also has recorded the raw intro but no introduction theme as he has to come up with ideas how to do it and he might have a cool idea but he wants to do them and get Billy's approval on it first as it is his podcast.

              There are a couple of small updates and I hope you enjoyed reading these updates. I will be back next weekend as Chris has the Monday - Saturday shift for the blogs which I honestly wish he'd give more opportunities to the staff to post up more like Billy and Larry who have access to this blog on ChrisBOnTheWeb but never know he might.  Hopefully next weekend I got news for you all with what I said above but we will see by next week's post. 

 

Have a great week!

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Has Almost Reached 100k (100,000 Views)?!

            I can't believe it! I couldn't believe this. We're almost close to hitting 100k or 100,000 website views which goes to show with all the promoting of the website, the blog and the podcasts does. We have really have pushed the networking to the max the last few months and really getting our website out there and it really excited to be reaching this far with the website already! The website started getting 100, 200, 300 + views a day which all adds up in the end and that is what it is doing. We're continuing to grow on a daily basis and we just have to keep on building it up. 100K is a lot of visitors both returning and new visitors to the website which is incredible! Ever since we started tinkering with our site and changing the menu bar and what not is when the views started coming in so you guys have been keeping up with out craziness and changes that we have made here on the website recently. Either way, this really makes us happy and I posted a screenshot to prove to you guys we're almost there and honestly it will happen sooner then you think. 

               I am feeling like it will happen and it will actually happen before the year is done but if not before the year is done, then most definitely will happen within the new year but the way you guys are constaqntly returning to our website really makes me feel positively it will happen this year at some point. Don't forget we have September, October, November and December to happen still so those are 4 months to go technically so there is definitely a ton of time. Finally I want to thank you guys for your continuing to support us through all these changes especially as you know we ended a very long running podcast after nearly 5 years and almost 300 episodes and 13 seasons. No matter what we did, you guys continued to support us and have helped us get to this point that our website has been nothing but a success. We thank you for your continuing support and hope you will continue to support us throughout our next adventures with blogging and podcasting.

We're Still Learning With Power Rangers Collab Being Recorded Via Skype!

            Title doesn't lie, we're still learning with how we are doing the Power Rangers Podcast through Skype. I know these are rough waters for not just Larry and I but the entire team. We've been put into a position where we have had to record through Skype which was proven a disaster for us for the first time around and this is why I say that we're learning! We are still in the learning curve of fixing the problem. It will take a while for us to resolve the issues. Yeah, I blew my top off with Larry and it is just passion and really I have started to question in I will continue passed Dino Thunder at this point. However another post for another day and yeah, I just exposed how I really feel with the podcast and honestly I need to be more honest how I feel. We will get better as time goes on and I think we will be recording via Skype for a while at the least till the physical distancing and having masks are loosened up and I think it is best for not my safety but my family and also Larry and his Family. 

              We will come to full circle come September and I am sure him and I will end up recording the second podcast that was missing in June technically and let's just think that we have no problems anymore. However we have to remain positive and optimistic with the next section and I wanna surprise Larry with an email with the next podcast notes! We will get things corrected but it may take a few sessions. I know it's not the same with him being in the same room as I am but this is because of the pandemic going on. I rather not record with him in studio as you know we're in a pandemic right now and it is better safe then sorry to be honest that we record via Skype. To be honest I knew this was coming that we were going to end up recording via Skype since the start and honestly, we should of prepared a little better and that is my own fault we didn't test and figure it out first and that was entirely my own fault. We should of been more prepared but September we will test things out and get it working once again I promise you guys that. We've been testing some new software that I would like to use too.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Moments Recently (Throwback Thursday)

               I was playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and Trevor was at the club let's say and he got too close to one of the girls there and the bouncer LITERALLY threw him out, I'm saying the two bouncers picked up him and threw him out! It was very hilarious and typical Trevor as he is a bit of a douche on the game at times and I see it definitely fitting for a character such as Trevor. Part of me now are annoyed and want to eliminate Trevor at the end of the game but the other part wants me to keep the 3 of them together. They are the three musketeers of the game with the craziness. However back to what I was saying about Trevor. I've also noticed Trevor is always seems to be either drunk, raging or picking a fight with some random dude at the odd times and I wish you guys could see my reaction to Trevor's stupidity sometimes. Trust me I have my comments with him all the time. I always have to make an account to some of the crazy stuff he does. 

               Another moment is Trevor saying my name is Trevor moment and it was pretty funny. He can be a pain in the butt but also hilarious at certain times of the game. It is very hard now with him being a pain and hilarious how I wanna end the game this time around as this is my second go around with the game, I'm not totally sure. However those are the best moments on the game thus far and I had to share with you guys what has been going on in the game, game wise and hopefully I can do this again soon in the very near by future. Let me know which option you guys would like see me do, Do away with Micheal or do away with Trevor at the end of the game and most popular answer I will do for sure. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Feeling Frustrated With YouTube...

              As you know, we had an issue with our former Channel hijacked and inappropriate videos uploaded to that channel. Now mind you we had the channel down and when it was Hijacked, it was reactivated apparently and someone uploaded inappropriate videos to it getting the channel permanently terminated which means, we cannot make a new channel now and we've not been active on the platform since deactivating the channel or scheduling it for deletion. So today, I've reached out to Team YouTube and they wanted to take this to DM and asked for me to follow and let em know it's done. It's now a little over an hour and nothing. Not a message back whatsoever. Starting to feel like they just do not care about their creators and really discouraged with the platform and that I have made the right move with no longer making videos on their platform. Me retiring was absolutely the right move that I made in 2016. I have no regrets whatsoever walking away from the platform. 

             This is why myself and the team decided to stick to our small but dedicated Facebook community where you guys have supported us non stop recently and we are thankful for your continuous support over the last almost year as we are reaching our 1 year anniversary with our Facebook page. So we can manage even without being on the platform. We have managed the last 4 years on our own and honestly we have done well. We continued to grow up to end of 2018 when we started to lose followers but the loyal followers stayed. We will manage without YouTube, we have and I am staying positive throughout this situation. As for the platform, I am very much happy where we are and I am sticking to my gut instinct on this. I enjoyed my time with the platform and still watch my favorite content creators on my spare time but as for us that chapter for us has now closed.
