This Year Has Been A Difficult Year For ChrisBOnTheWeb!

            This year has been a difficult year not just for me who has been dealing with Mental Health issues all year long since this pandemic started. ChrisBOnTheWeb has really struggled with things from Podcast starting to fall apart to it ending to no events which I really on events and even food reviews and I couldn't even do that this year which has affected the website greatly but not too bad as you guys have enjoyed the posts regardless and either way I still got my 100k views so it didn't matter but what I mean everything had to be done from the studio or through Skype (meaning the podcasts.) Anyways this hasn't been the easiest transitioning especially from podcast to podcast and with podcasts being moved from being in studio to Skype and we were nowhere near prepared to actually record through Skype but I think we are making the best of the situation as Wild Force was a lot of fun to record and a lot of laughs with it either way.

             I hope during some time away from the collab, both Larry and I can correct any of the recording online or through Skype and try to continue to give you guys the Quality content and hopefully fix the issues that we had this year as sound was not that great and like I said it's not be an easy switch from Studio to online cause of the pandemic. I can say this to you guys: I am planning to get the Mix Minus in January and set it up here in the studio so I can have a bit better of a setup for recording with people and not worry about OBS as a whole and don't get me wrong I love OBS and it has been a great program but what use is it really to someone who doesn't cast anymore. I am audio ONLY and think I should put the money and investment into the future of the podcasts. I can be honest there has been moments where I wanted to just shutdown operations but then I'd be giving up a very successful website that's had 1100 in a day which is crazy honestly so I must be doing something right and it is the matter of time I fix the problems and issues with what I mentioned. Anyways that is my post for today and I will see you in tomorrow's post.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Update...

                      You are probably wanting an update huh on Ninja Storm. I think on my Facebook/Instagram Stories, I did spill the beans on this but for those who haven't seen it well you are indeed in the right place. I know, I know get to the chase. I am now half way through this podcast prep as I am finished watching Ninja Storm and I am now on working on notes well after I finish editing this weekends podcast. I can say this I really, really enjoyed it and I had a lot of doubt on this season that I wouldn't like this season at all and that is not the case this time around. I very much enjoyed this season and was totally hooked into this season. Anyways to the next point I wanna make, once I am done editing the weekly podcast I will be typing up notes and also I will be working on Dino Thunder. So I am doubling down on the podcast and getting two done at once. I know I said on the FB/Instagram Stories I would like to get both done this year but that could be not possible but it all depends on how quickly I can get them done and if I can get 10 episodes or more done a day but that is besides the point I gave you guys a small set schedule but one step at a time.

                      We will get there at some point where we actually get these caught up and running again. So many different projects going on right now but so much I can do right now to be honest but I can definitely manage everything and one baby steps at a time. Either way not next week but the week after there will be a recording session and it will be a good episode and I already know that even tho the notes are not even remotely typed yet at this point. However this weekend I will be getting started on it and I will start watching Dino Thunder and doubling up but no guarantees whatsoever on recording this year but we will see how I do in the next week but you never know but first we have to start with what we have right now. Anyways I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's blog post.

Why Do I Like Dailymotion More?

                 It is no secret I am heading back to Dailymotion with Entertainment Man Podcast down the road which is not as long as you guys really think as you think. Anyways the question you are wondering why do I like Dailymotion better or in this case YouTube as you know my situation with YouTube. Well with YouTube the big downfall with YouTube is you need 1000 (1K) and so much for watch time in order for you to be monetized Dailymotion you can sign up for Partner and start being monetized right away. That is one of the reasons behind me bringing Entertainment Man Podcast to Dailymotion and this would be my 3rd source of income with the podcast and website at this point. Now the other think I like about Dailymotion, there is no dislike button as my old videos on the older channel which needs to be removed from that platform permanently and indefinitely. Also the fact you do get a bit more freedom, non of this family friendly stuff and you guys know it will be family friendly always on the podcast or I really try to that is.

                 It is so easy to get in touch with Dailymotion where YouTube it is harder but we know Google owns YouTube and again you know my position and story behind it. Yes I went through TeamYouTube and got nowhere but Dailymotion they replied back and was very helpful and I was able to bring my podcast to their awesome platform. I am over YouTube, yes I still listen to my favorite YouTube but I am over making content on that platform. I will do ANYTHING to get my old channel removed so any trace that The Video Projects Team or ChrisBOnTheWeb from that platform. Anyways this is the reason why I am happy with Dailymotion and I cannot wait to get started with the video side of the podcast and I thank Dailymotion for their helping making this dream a Reality. I hope you guys enjoyed this post with why I liked Dailymotion more. I am not bashing, just stating the facts about YouTube. I will talk to you guys Thursday for a new post as Joe is taking over the blog tomorrow morning.

What Ever Happened To The Video Projects Team?

               So the big question is what ever happened to The Video Projects Team, why did the team end? As you know the decision was made on October 31st, 2014 which didn't happened till 2 weeks later. I did speak about on Twitter at one point. However I made the announcement that we will be shutting down operations under the name The Video Projects Team. Now the reason why was the amount of members of the team was diminishing and we lost so many Staff members over the years since 2010 with the start of losing our camera man, then Eric, then our next camera man, he left just out of nowhere leaving it to the final 3 members of the team, myself, Larry and Justin. So the day before Larry and I went to the Royal Winter Fair and I knew this was it and the end was here for the team we once were at one point. The next day I made the official decision to end the team and Larry was the first one to know followed by Justin that the team was to end I go into a more solo projects with the two of them and their help. So mainly the decision was because of the team was starting to fall apart and we were losing staff quickly and people quitting and not telling us that they were quitting nothing. Things started going downhill in 2010 since most of the team we're either let go or quit knowing we were heading into that hiatus from Fall 2010 - April 2012. 

               This is just my thoughts that I have had to what went wrong with that team but in the end I have no regrets whatsoever that I ended The Video Projects because I know it was the right move to make honestly as look what happened I finished up my YouTube career very strong and also started my podcast career which has done well. That is what happened towards the end of the career and not much to what happened and gave you a timeline to when things started to fall apart and the reason why. It was quite disappointing to watch a great team fall apart after nearly 9 years and yes I say 9 years because we were on course of to that point however we are now on track to make 9 years less then 3 years to go I am excited for it. I know I have had bitterness how it ended and with the way staff just got up and walked out on me and not tell me whatsoever. Yeah I resent it ending it but I know I made the right choice and I should be proud of myself making the right decision to go more on a solo project.

Weekly Updates [11-22-2020]

                  Another week has passed by and ton of updates to make with some of the things that happened in the next week. I will not delay the updates and here they are for the week of November 22nd, 2020 on our second last update for the month of November.

Website: Any problems with the actual players here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com has been resolved. Chris and I spent a good 18 hours fixing the issues from a week ago this morning. We're happy the issues have been resolved and back to normal. Also tomorrow morning at 9 am EST, Chris and the Management Team and I are opening the Community Lounge tomorrow morning and we're excited to open up his community chatroom which I am running on his behalf and yes he will make the occasional appearence. 

Update On Chris: As you know Chris has been banned from Facebook for the past week and his ban is up tomorrow morning and will be back posting and what I heard, he is planning to do a live stream on Facebook tomorrow as a way to get himself realgumated to the Facebook world while I am now banned from Facebook Support for a month which he has given me the green light to do a post mid week this week and I will explain what I mean.

Entertainment Man Podcast: As him and I said on Social, he has deleted the Mixcloud account for the podcast. He specifically hasn't said why and that was his choice to not mention why and I will not bother him about it. Good news is he earning money not just from the website and Stitcher but also Dailymotion. He will be doing video versions on the podcast over on Dailymotion and hopefully eventually get paid for what he does.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Just a friendly reminder that this week on Wednesday @ 1 pm EST, the latest episode of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast will be up talking Power Rangers Wild Force.

                  There are the updates for this week and as I promised it is not as long as I was highlighting everything that was going on with the website issues but we are past that and let's make this a great week and it will be. Anyways have a great week and I will be I'll be talking to you guys on Wednesday for the surprise blog post.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Ramble...

            I am not being negative but I am trying the hardest I can to get the notes written then  type em and I don't care if I have to go to bed early and up during the nights and up the entire day I will fight to the tooth to get these notes done. Why you think this podcast is going on hiatus? We are so behind schedule right now, it's not even funny anymore and I have had thoughts of just ending this collab but I made a promise for one more year of the collab and I meant it and even if this means putting it off till June or July and yes I say that like I have a plan moving forward and I do have a plan. So am I feeling frustrated with this collab? Well I am frustrated the fact that one thing after another seems to be a problem from editing the current collab to fixing the website with issues with archive.org in the last week and haven't been up to watching Ninja Storm which isn't a lot of work really. I am sitting back enjoying watching a Television show. There should be not a single problem and as of this morning writing this post, I am at EP 10 of 38 so I am making good tracks and if I can get up to 20 or 25 episodes then I will be good. 

                I know I am whining a little bit  and I am just merely felt frustrated with this collab and ready to tell Larry I am seriously contemplating quitting the collab as it has become too much but I know he would get me to reverse my decision very quickly as I know when I tell him the butt kissing begins. To be very honest, we are now going on 2.5 years of this podcast and I see us continuing on to our goal which is Super Ninja Steel which you guys did not know that piece of information and yes I am exposing everything that is going on with the Podcast and I am fine with it because you guys deserve to know how I am feeling and the fact I am feeling frustrated with this podcast. I know in the end it will be all fine when the podcast is on hiatus and I start pumping out season notes for the entire year of 2021 while we are on this hiatus and hopefully this corrects any of the issues. Don't forget we do this 3 times a year and takes time to prep for each and every one. I know I have mentioned the fact it will be down to 38 episodes a season then eventually 32 episodes a season so it will be becoming easier eventually just gotta be a little more patient then I have been recently.

What Would YouTube Look Like For Me Today?

                I can take this from different angles video projects wise or podcast wise and today I am going to actually focus on the "web series" side of things if I didn't decide to do podcasts and don't get me wrong, I love podcasting more then YouTube, I have a lot more ideas and creativity with podcasts and get to be myself where YouTube I have to come up with series and that was tough to do honestly. Anyways I want to focus on YouTube creating series not the podcast side of things. Now as you know if I stuck it out with YouTube beyond June 2016 things would of been a lot different for me with this pandemic and I am sure Larry and Justin would of still been with me as Camera Man and Set Designer. With this pandemic things would of probably be at a stand still at this point in the way of series and I would of had to put the series that was being recorded here in the studio on hold at this point as I couldn't or wouldn't be able able to have the crew here to do the filming for the series.  

                  I would probably have to come up with a web series online to do in the meantime and probably have guests or have Larry on as a regular Co-Host or something that will keep you guys entertained. I probably also have daily vlogs to what I am up to on a regular basis and honestly I miss being a vlogger everyday but it is what it is to this day, I was screwed over by one of my former staff who got my channel banned as they had access to it. It was my own fault but I will be explaining that on the podcast what happened to ChrisBOnTheWeb & YouTube. Back to what I was saying, a lot of things have to be done online as the studio would still be under that same lockdown as it is to this very day. I definitely think it could of been done either way it would of been possible. However in the end I am glad for what I am doing now and very happy with the choice I made. That is what I had to say about the entire YouTube thing and what it could of looked like for web series in 2020 and who know what I would of been doing today as well.

I Won The Players Championship On PGATour2K21!

                Last week or the week before as I do not remember when to be honest but it was recently that this happened where I got to play in a tournament I love personally that is played each and every year The Players Championship and yes I played that tournament. Now I will go into a bit of detail of the tournament; I struggled with the first round where I had a double or triple bogie first round at the start and struggled with water and other array of issues. Second round I caught back up to even par and into the minus. 3rd and 4th round I added on but I believe that tournament it was a close finish I was up a few strokes at the most and yes I actually won with a few strokes and honestly I was excited. Honestly I wasn't feeling so positive I was gonna win the actual tournament. After the first round I felt I was finally defeated but I proved myself wrong and won the entire thing. Yes this means I am still undefeated and haven't lost any tournament yet and continue this hot streak I am on. 

                 Either way a win is a win and I will take it. I didn't expect Players Championship to be that easy on PGATour2K21, I knew this was gonna be a challenge and it really lived up to my expectations. I enjoyed it and now I know what to expect when I go into my second season in the PGATour2K21 which isn't far off from now to the end of this current season is very close. That is the update I can give you guys for now and I will keep you guys up to date on the progress of the video game and I haven't had the time to play the game and I need to make some time but editing has become a priority for me along with recording the normal podcast and watching Ninja Storm so I have become busy with content but once the editing of both podcasts are done for the week and I get into Ninja Storm I probably will play while I am working on the season and I can grind on both which all I do is watch episodes and take notes so I can do both I am sure.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Community Lounge Opens Monday!

      I know surprise! I am making a mid week appearence and Chris already knows about it and says it's fine and gives him the day to work on the collab podcast with the editing this gives him the day free as it takes him sometimes 45 minutes to complete a post in the day when he could be editing the podcast. Anyways we are proud to say, we are launching the chat as of today. That's right, Chris messaged me this morning letting me know that as of 9 am EST Monday the Community Lounge will be open for business! As you know we have had our share of issues this week including last weekend and we were all set for launching the chat 2 days ago but we have had to put it on hold temporarily but he has made it OFFICIAL today that we will be going ahead with the launch of the Community Lounge as of Monday. So you will not be seeing this in an update. Just hope there will be no more issues around the website that will prevent us from launching the Community Lounge. What will be in thsi Lounge? You will see a chatroom where you guys will be able to talk and interact with Chris and his Management Team which I am a part of. This chatroom has been set and ready to go for days and sits there empty with just Chris and I doing the final touches to the chat especially. 

               You are wondering why Monday @ 9 am EST well that was Chris's decision to open it early in the day so everyone gets a chance to pop in to the page and it is bright and early in the day. You never know, Chris may be lurking in chat and if you guys pop in and yes guest chat will be open so everyone can participate. There are a few rules and they are: 1. No spamming; 2. NO posting links. Please ask a member of Staff or the Moderator Team; 3. NO being disrespectful of any kind; 4. NO asking for Mod, must earn the trust of Chris and the members of the Management Team Staff; 5. NO religion or politics talk is allowed. We do not want to have an argument happen in chat. Those are 5 simple rules to follow. Now one last thing Chris detailed to me this morning if the guest chat gets too abused with trolls, we will shutdown guest chat where you have to login. However, we are looking forward to this Community Lounge opening on Monday and be sure to be on the lookout for an official launch post on Social Media!

When Is Power Rangers Wild Force Collaboration Podcast Coming Out?

                I know with the craziness around the website this week with the non stop issues we have been experiencing with the podcasts as you know, we have ended up being backlogged with editing and working on the collab right now, it's not even funny. So what we are doing is we're working on editing and the next collab so we have it ready to go. Anyways I know I promised you guys to have it out this week but unfortunately I have to postpone it for this week as right now we have yet to finish up the editing side of things and I hope to make a good run today to get a good dent into the podcast and try and wind down the length especially as I can say this it is 2 hours and 26 minutes to be exact. I know it's a very long podcast but honestly getting use to it and having some fun in the process. So what we have to push forward the release of the podcast as we have to finish up editing the podcast.

                I know, I know get on with the announcement. I can say this for now, next week I am planning to roll out the next episode and I apologize but it is beyond my control what happened to the account issues I experienced over the weekend and I will make sure to get Joe to make an announcement to the day and time it goes out. So what I am trying to say is this will determine if I am finished the podcast and I can say I am working on it and really need to start editing a ton in order to make but this gives me till Sunday and time to think about when I want to put it up and more then likely I will end up putting it up mid week so this do not interfere with the Entertainment Man Podcast Schedule but again depends how long it takes to edit the podcast as I said before it's a long monster podcast and working countless hours for you guys to ensure it is done. It has become my number priority. So be sure to keep an eye on Social Media and this blog for details to come.

Website Recent Maintenance Complete!

                With someone getting into my Archives account that I use to embed the podcasts on the website for the website version. Well apparently they deleted the account which I never did whatsoever so it had to be someone that got into the account. Anyways after 18 + hours of hard work and labor to the website, we have completed the website maintenance and you probably noticed that before there was missing episodes that were not there and that has been all fixed and it was a big mess honestly. We hope with the change of passwords this will not happen in the bear future this will not happen and to the person not cool at all honestly. Myself, Billy, Tiala and Joe work too darn hard to bring you guys quality content and for this to happen this sets me back on other projects that may  need my attention and this drives off my attention on Ninja Storm and also the Collaboration Podcast that still needs the editing it needs.

                Now that this issue has now been adverted, I can start working on the collab stuff yet again and get this out to you guys soon and work on the other podcast as well and that is definitely the plan and today I am starting on the watching the series again this morning. This blog was the number 1 on the list today. I hope I can multi task and catch up as this weekend was about fixing the website. Anyways that is what happened and I'm sorry that we didn't explain very well what happened to the website and we didn't want to panic you guys on the issue but we made you guys aware of the issue but it is all good now in the end the crisis has been adverted and we move forward with the content. Just wanted to be open and honest with you guys and now you know the truth but again we're moving forward and will let you guys know when we have the episode ready and I hope to have it done by end of the week so I can post it up a week tomorrow in the afternoon. Anyways I will talk to you guys tomorrow on another blog post.

Weekly Updates [11-15-2020]

             We are officially into a brand new week for ChrisBOnTheWeb and Chris's content and I have some information to give you guys from the boss man himself as things have been going good and some have gone awry but I will explain what is going on so here is the update:

Website/Archive Account: Chat is OFFICIALLY going to be making a RETURN as of a week tomorrow @ 9 am EST, it will become active on the website once again and will be open to the public 24-7 and YES, guest chat will be activated but as Chris told me to mention if it gets way out of control we will lock it down where you have to login to the chat and we honestly do not wanna do that if we don't have to. We delaying the launch of the chat by a week due to his Archive.org account, well someone got into it, changed the email to it and he has already emailed them about it and hopefully will hear back from em this week which will affect 2 of the podcasts within the website. We both are working on getting it back as it has all 295 episodes of the podcast on there and we never once changed the password oremail to it. We have an idea who have done it and we are not one happy about it. He's gotten into a fight with support and he either owns up and him and I reupload. He don't wanna create a second feed and re do the intros if he don't need to. He has thought about returning The CBOTW Show but feed would be inactive minus 3 times a year and he's not up to covering shows throughout the show, he's retired from a regular podcast and currently has the podcast I mentioned below. We will be in direct contact with you guys when things are back online so stay tune to the Social accounts for direct updates on the situation.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The Podcast is coming out today as normal at 1 pm EST, however due to what I said above Chris and I cannot post up the podcast to the site with the Archive.org account not accessible at this moment, the podcast cannot be posted up. However soon as we get access and update the account with recent podcasts, we will upload and update the pages that need to be updated as one of the podcasts is not showing on one of the website and we are fully aware of the issue and will fix it when it is the right time.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Chris will edit but right now everything is on hold with that Collab due to us having to re-upload everything and taking pages offline temporarily on and off and we are sorry but this is ridiculous we have to put the Collab on hold at this moment while we fix the issues. 

               There is an array of issues and the website and even if we change the emails which we got access to it again and we changed emails and we have no access to the old email to keep it verfied at this point and we had no choice but to change the email and trust me Chris fought hard on it and he has not been a happy camper at all with the recent changes and stress. In the end the final result they moved all items to the current account and we're now back on track once again. I'm sorry this is late. We both were up all night working on fixing on issues within the website and now we are doing checks on each page to ensure it's working again. Anyways I will talk to you guys next week and sorry for a very long post but so much going on in the last 24 hours.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Turns 6 Today!

               Today ChrisBOnTheWeb turns 6. I know what your going to say why does it say 15 Years on the banners across the site and social media? Well this year I am also celebrating 15 years as a content creator that is why it is like that. Anyways when I started under my own brand 6 years ago, I was still currently on the YouTube platform and The Entertainment Man Talk Show which was the current running series along with Vlogs for 700 + days. Then saw the start of podcasts 6 years ago too but was short lived till Fall of 2015 when "Everything About Reality TV" started follow by it's cancellation this year and the birth of Entertainment Man Podcast which has done quite well for itself recently. The website itself has seen so much change over the years and honestly the transition from YouTube to Podcasts was a major change and having to change everything over on the website so you guys wouldn't be confused and I mean when confused when I turned into an Audio ONLY podcast in 2016. Why do you think I took the summer off from content, so I can start re-designing the entire website from scratch.

              Either way I am proud of the website and the content over the years and I am looking forward to celebrating 10 years in 4 years years time when it hits it's 10 year anniversary.  This is indeed an momentous occasion not just for me but my management team as well as well. Some of them been with me on and off over the years, Joe who helped me on that other website provider that kept suspending my website for no apparent reason, but also Larry who has been with me since before CBOTW even remotely existed yes I am referring to the old team, The Video Projects Team and yeah I'm not afraid to mention that name and I will talk about that next week on a post I promise. We have some old school team and new school who are new to the team now but that don't matter, I am proud of my team one way or another and we are progressing very well with it and here is to another year, another 4 years and so on. I'm not going off air anytime soon no matter what the haters say, we're here to stay!

Chris
