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.

Talking About Chatroom Rules Ban Lengths....

                We have gone a little ban happy recent with the trolls and we needed to remove em. However we had no real guidelines and both Chris and I came up with the chat rules and we are going to be adding times to the bans and here they are:

Rules:

1. No spamming the chatroom.  (6 hour ban)

2. No being disrespectful to Staff or Any Other User In the Chatroom. (12 hour ban, if use of offensive terms will be permanent ban from chat and not able to return)

3. No asking for Moderator, we have enough Staff to keep an eye on things. (Chat message removed & warning. 1 hour ban if continues)

4. No posting inappropriate links is allowed. (24 hour ban, if continues, Perma Ban as this will not be allowed whatsoever)

                Rules are not hard to find and there is only 4 golden rules to follow and so easy to follow. We only perma ban from here on out on severe infractions of the rules. We have the most conservative rules out of any other chatroom. Right now we are not making mods till the chatroom is active but the bans are very reasonable times. Please follow our rules it is not that hard. You guys wonder why we have removed our chat off the website so much is because of the chat problems. Chris also mentioned if the trolls get too much for us then what we can do is not allow guest chat and we will implement that you sign up with http://www.chatango.com/ and we will not be allowing guests in our Community Lounge from here on out. We have a lot of tools with this chat we have on the site and one of em we even do not allow VPNS cause it would be easy for trolls to get back into the chatroom so that has already been implemented! That is everything I have to say about the rules in our chatroom please follow em so we can keep guest chat open and I will speak to you guys Monday, have a wonderful weekend!

Statement About The Community Lounge's Return!

                With the RETURN of the Community Lounge here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com I wanted to make an statement about the chatroom returning and will answer questions. Now there has been so many issues lately whether it was a chatroom here on the website or Discord server there has been either drama or just trolls being demanding and disrespectful towards the team in general. LET ME SAY THIS: It will not be tolerated. Now to a couple of the questions you guys may have regarding the chatroom:

1) When are staff around- That is hard to know as we're very busy team but we are around when we are around and typically between 9 am and 7 or 8 pm EST but there will be nights where we may end up being up late so it varies when we are in the chat but sometimes we leave our names just say hi in the room and we do not answer within a few minutes we are either busy or asleep. We work odd hours especially with Big Brother Canada 9 now underway, Chris is online a bit longer now with the Live Feeds up he will be up listening to them so between now and Mid May our hours are now going to be 12 pm and 9 pm at the most.

2) Rules- There are rules below the chatroom and that always seems to be an issue to follow them and we hate banning but we have no choice. We are going to be making a Ban times list that way you guys know how long you are banned and we will be taking notes who is banned and win along with username and two of us know who is who with the bans and that is myself and Chris. 

3) Chat Being Weird- We have added a button next to the chat on the website that looks like this to the left of this text. It is hyperlinked and all you gotta do is click the logo and it will take you to http://chrisbontheweb.chatango.com which is more capable to chatting within the community. We made it easier for mobile users but if you are on Tablet or IPad then it will be a ton easier for website use. This was an idea between both myself and the Founder & Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. This took weeks of planning and Late January/Early February we started to plan and work on this feature and it took us weeks to slowly plan and execute this.

           So tomorrow, Chris was originally going to post but he has given permission to do two days in a row. Tomorrow I will be talking about the rules and how long we are going to ban on the chat so you know. We do not wanna make it permanent unless it is a very severe rule broken. I will then be back Monday then you will be hearing from Chris Tuesday. Have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

I Cannot Be Careless With Forgetting To Blog.....

             I know I am suppose to blog on a daily basis but I was once again very careless with not blogging. Yes I did it again! I just do not know why I didn't think of this last night when I was on very late last night that I should of done a post and to be honest, I didn't really have anything planned. The Schedule this week on the whiteboard in the studio consisted of topics written on there Monday and yesterday and today's and tomorrow's blanked completely with no real topic and my weight loss well that's fluctuated so much I just do not think I can really give you guys an update on that right now. Maybe next week I can give you guys a definite update on my weight loss but with my weight either going up and down or staying put as I have tried so hard to get it below 230 before end of this week but that may not be happening at this point but the update is all up in the air for this week. Only 2 days away from that and we will see what I wanna do. 

            I can say that this week is totally up in the air right now. This is a very random week with posts at this point. I am just unable to keep up with it really, with 3 podcasts on the go trying to run  the maybe Lounge or have Charlotte do that to blogging and watching the show, I do not have enough hours in a damn day to keep up with everything honestly. So much going on but I have an announcement that I am going to be discussing this with my co-host next week that we will put off any recording till June and into July and it will be just prep work at this point. As you know today I was suppose to record this weekend's Entertainment Man Podcast but I have to do that tomorrow when I get up and get editing it as I am podcasting a ton during the weekend but if I am up tonight late I may take a whack at recording today. This is my boring post for today and sorry it wasn't anymore exciting then you expected but tomorrow Charlotte is going to be taking over the blog tomorrow as there is something she wants to talk to you about with the return of our lounge, rules etc. I will talk to you all Friday!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-01-2021]

             Well happy 1st of March! Another month has arrived in 2021 and I have a bunch of updates and return of favorite features! This is what makes this website unique all the different things to do around our website and our views seem to be consistent on a day to day to basis  and honestly Chris informed me we are close to the 200K mark on this website. With what is about to be added to the website but however here are the updates:

Website: Website has been given a bit of an overhaul. For those who didn't know Chris's 3 Twitch accounts, ChrisEM15, CBOTW_Network and CBOTWNetworkBot someone got into it and got it banned so we have abandoned Twitch all together all together so under Podcasts tab we removed Twitch and only has YouTube at this point. Also you have probably seen a "Chats" Tab pop up. The tab is yet to be active as I have to work on the Staff accounts still and we hope to launch one of two chats this week! What chats you may ask? We will have a chatroom for Big Brother so you can talk about what is going on the show and on the Live Feeds as well. As well as our Normal Community Lounge is returning on a more permanent basis and hope to launch that a week Monday.

The CBOTW Show: Chris, Jasmine, Billy, Chris S and Larry have done such an amazing job with the podcasts with fixing the technical issues they have experienced recently with streaming but everything seems flawless and last night's 1 hour stream proved to be a very successful for them both. Audio ONLY will be up today or tomorrow when he finishes editing it. Regular Streams can be seen Thursdays @ 9:10 pm EST.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The Podcast has proved to done well with YouTube and now Audio ONLY. The Podcast is all booked for end of the month podcasts up to start of June at this moment. Boss Man Chris will start looking into more interviews and if interested to email at cbotwbiz@yahoo.com 

               Those are the updates for the week and stay tuned for the chat release for the Big Brother Lobby which should be up during the day and chat will be opening after the Premiere episode of Big Brother Canada but the page will be live during the day but stay tuned for details this week. I will be talking to you all next Monday, have a great week!
