Troy Spiral

The chat you mean? Yeah if you ever check out the TYT videos when they are live the chat is INSANE.

Happens after the "premiere" time window ends. New thing on YT that they suggest you use since YT will boost your visibility by a lot if you do, but then the link dies after the "scheduled time" ends. (The smart YT kids teach that you don't just upload a video whenever its ready, you schedule it.) So that YT has time to index it and tell people that its a new video before it "drops" since everyone has chronic ADD and will not watch old vlogs, the views you get in the first 72 hours are all the views you are likely to ever get. So, you need to capture them all asap. You can (after that) relink it but it's kinda pointless since the idea for (creators) is to get people on YT to interact with the video (at least to like it) embedding gives you none of that. Only really huge channels benefit from just raw "visibility" with no interaction. Us bottom feeders have to be more crafty and this is a way for YT to FORCE you to be a smarter creator. lol

Cool thank you!

You heard it here first! The boss man stu said do it so do it!

I figured it out. When a video is in "premiere" mode (boosts the video across the YT network and enables "superchat") but only during the lead-up to the video going live and during the video then it stops. During that time a link won't embed.

By the chat I mean the youtube chat. It will be active until the video ends at around 7:15 pm. Right now its just for "testing" but in the long run YT says (and so do the big kid you tubers) that it helps a lot with growing a channel.

Comments / suggestions very welcome.

Awesome. Yeah SG has been on and off pretty good about helping promote DGN stuff. He was no one in terms of "the scene" when DGN started and this was his online home for years, one of the few guys that still remembers that. Tons of people in the "club scene" got their introduction or expanded their friends network here on DGN back in the 600 posts a day times and in the DGN (very large at one time) group at CC or several have even found husbands/wives here but gratitude is not a common thing. heh) "claim the fan slots" hah love it. I think right now it's probably 1. @sekhmet2002 2. @TronRP 3. @Nitewolf 4./5. @Moe Falcon @Stu (not sure about the order) and then a huge sea of "omg what is this SHIT troy?" people. 😂 I'm actually working on a "formula" to figure out how to manage all my gratitude stuff. So much to be grateful for once I really do a deep dive into it, I need a brass-tacks way of figuring out where to spend my time doing it! Thus that sheet of paper Im trying to keep track of peoples info on and also metrics that i'm not done with about what sort of things I should be more grateful for over others as there is only so much time in a day. For most people I don't think there is a need to "track" this stuff but for me there is. (one thing I don't value much although i do value it, just it isn't high on the scale is "thoughts and prayers". I do appreciate the effort totally I do. But in the scheme of all the things I need to be grateful for , that isn't much. Historically it was 1. Tron 2. Bobbi 3. Tina/David Newby 4. Draco 5. Paul ferguson (lives in San Fran now still talk to him online every few days, old best friend from high school) JUST TO THROW IT OUT THERE IN CASE I DIE OR SOMETHING SOMEONE TELL PAUL... he is easy to find on FB, He had a DGN Account (Ubik444) but i doubt he gets notifications.

Happy Birthday guy that may never see this! +1 for tron as usual.

*googles the song "anything" * Hrmm... lol

So there are (many) websites that track the "quality" of your amazon.com reviews. Typically they crawl your amazon account and if they think your reviews are "high quality" enough (long descriptions, pictures, videos ect they offer you various discounts with a "strong suggestion" (they aren't allowed to require you) to leave a review. The implication is due to reciprocity that your review might be higher than it otherwise might have been. One of the reasons I only put mid level stock in amazon reviews which are often suspiciously high. Consumer Reports for example only allows members (paid members) to post reviews and people generally never bother to post positive reviews but WILL post negative reviews like crazy. On CR even products that they have spent testing scientifically for a week and call them "suggested products" have crap reviews, every, single, one. But anyway... omfg lookit this. Not sure if the spelling is due to non-native english speaker or just an error but whaaaatever: <---- no shit. That would be my no 1 pick and no 2 picks for "best drones for the money" even at 40% off the Mavic is still expensive. But the spark at $200 ish is amazing. (not including any frills which you basicly need, but whatever!) *thinks*

I didn't think anyone would want a poster like that when I first made it. That large on good paper is not cheap. I'm DEEEEAD tired right now I'm just posting in zombie mode but I'll definitely look into getting another one made for you or just give you that one. The Karaoke thing is something I would do when I'm on an upswing health wise (which I'm not really I'm just forcing myself) its way more stress than you realize for me. Its not so much a presnt as a responsibility I have to take care of. I hate that its that way, but the PTSD has just not decided to let up yet and it sucks. 😞 The way it is now that would be: "Happy Birthday! Now lets get you to go do something that is really stressful." I'd be going as a present for Tron as a grueling effort for myself because I don't want to let you down. Socializing is a hell of a lot easier for me if I have something to focus on that is not stressful. (Watching something, playing board/card games ect. ) I used to try and get people togheter to play real-life games as that is fun for some people at least and is actually theraputic for me. Insurance has paid for me to do that sort of thing as an out-patient at various mental health places) But they stopped due to me "not showing significant progress" after like the first year. But, I can't seem to get anyone except strangers to do it and that is almost as stressful. That is actually "Occupational Therapy" that HELPS with my social axiety related to the PTSD as it desensitizes you slowly over time since its not 100% stress. We would already be having Karaoke if it was something that didn't drive my mental health crazy. Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed karaoke in the past, just that sort of setting is even more stressful than the gathering and I'm already having to drag myself to the gathering. Not that I mind going to the gathering, just every week is a lot for my brain to process and still function at normal troy level. I hope the tone there didn't come off wrong. You know I love ya and think you are awesome. Troy = No.1 Tron Fan

He was there before probably hiding.

That's actually a good observation. I didn't realize. Yikes.

TWENTY DAMN HOURS of editing and I'm still not happy with it but I had to stop. Newfound respect for (detailed) video creators. There are over 400 individual elements in this video, not that you'd realize that. For the lova pete please subscribe to my channel even if you hate it. Just do it, "subscribing" is the way that You Tube decides how much it cares about you. Less than 100 subscribers and you are basically a non-persona. Less than 1000 and you are still nobody but it unlocks a lot of features not available at less subscribers. Strangely "subscribe" does not mean what all us humans would normally think it means. Subscribe is just sort of like a "big like" its not "send me all the videos this channel makes" for that you have to subscribe + hit the bell icon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwvnqTi4YUY <---- CLICK IT! Cannot imbed the above link for some reason just click it it will start the video. Thanks. If anyone can figure out how to imbed this video (so it shows up here instead of a link let me know I'm at my wits end).

All 5 of us. Woo!

Haha Thanks guys. Very kind. Also thank you for the support with DGN, HS, the gathering, my YT channel and putting up with me.

Bobbi is actually pretty good with search engine stuff since I put her in charge of it for hosuespiral.com , not sure if she might have any insight on this or not. TRON FOR PRESIDENT!!

This brother right here is a pro at asking first somehow. / respect. Basically locking in 01/05 every week. Takes vigilance.

I LIKE going to extra trouble if people actually ask. It's just the people that don't care that I don't bother with much. Although I typically make however make people ask +3. New people having priority over people that don't ask, then people that are actual "house spiral members" (people with runes and have a clue what #ckt stands for) then other regulars or semi-regulars.

lol.

In terms of tech priorities. 1. PHP Errors 2. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Integration 3. This problem here: Not that there is a huge rush. But social media integration would help a lot and "organic traffic" is nil when search engines can't find a website description. I don't know why this happens though. Thanks for all the help as usual. *squeeze*

The first video in a long time. I can't seem to figure out my old user ID and password for youtube *pulls hair out* 10000000_141755006719445_5867860141797564763_n.mp4

Have to drink this disgusting stuff and ear nothing but liquid. They are concerned I might have cancer or an ulcer or both. Going in tommrow morning. Cutting into my present wrapping and card making (and first video in a long while) creation time! Holy Cow. Me acting unconcerned. Fuuuck!
