I feel your pain because one day I will get catch watching ETCG instead of working.
November 1, 2011 at 11:00 am #445245Many times the Monday video is done an uploaded long before Monday as an unlisted video, normally on Saturday or Sunday, this way I only have to go to YT and make the video ‘live’. I also upload the videos to BlipTV on Monday morning and from there it goes out to iTunes and a couple of other places. I do this mostly to keep up with a schedual that I can keep becuase these days it’s hard to keep up with the ETCG universe.
It’s funny because I’ve never been fond of Monday’s (I was actually born on a Monday) and posting on that day feels like a way for me to overcome those feelings so that I can have something to look forward to.
In the future I hope to start posting more videos on more than just Monday’s and Fridays, I’d like to add one more video during the week (Wednesday) but I’m having trouble finding the time to produce those, I’m going to have to find a better way to deal with my social media to make that happen OR find help with shooting and editing, I haven’t figured that one out yet.
I do appreciate your viewership however and I’ll work on getting you another video to watch during the week, will that work?
November 1, 2011 at 11:00 am #445246The more videos the better Eric, but don’t overdo it and take time away from your family and personal life to do so, I love watching your videos but family life comes first! You could post 10 a week and I’d watch them all, but 1 a week is fine too, always look forward to the FATR to watch when I get home from work on Fridays when I come home and have a cold one.

November 3, 2011 at 11:00 am #445249The good thing about a regular day is that I know it’s coming. For some reason, new videos from Eric’s channel are not appearling in my list of subscriptions, so I have to go to his channel to find the new one. I tried unsubscribing and subscribing again in case a cookie was somehow misplaced, but that didn’t work. It may be happening because I often visit Eric’s channel en route to the forum, and perhaps youtube think I already saw the new video. Whatever, I work around that minor glitch.
November 3, 2011 at 11:00 am #445250That’s happening to me too spelunkerd. Not just happening for Eric though. I have quite a few subscriptions going and all of them seem to do that. It’s a problem with YouTube.
Eric please don’t burn yourself out. You’re using multiple avenues of communication and social media sites so of course it’s going to feel like you’re getting hit from all sides just trying to stay current with comments, emails, and messages. Maybe it’s time to start thinking about paid website memberships? You’ve already admitted to not replying to comments and rightly so. Comments are one thing, expecting a dialog is something completely different. Discussions and dialogs with you should be done on your website. It’s why they are called “comments” not “Q&A” in the header titles of YouTube right? Do not sacrifice your personal life for your viewers. You are the one giving to us, not the other way around. We live by your schedule not the other way around. My suggestion about scheduling the time for 5pm on Monday was just that, a suggestion.
Since getting the website up I’ve seen it pretty busy in the forums. When there are 20 new topics a day or so that’s more than enough for 1 man to handle. Might want to think about making some of the more knowledgable members as moderators (definitely not me). Eventually, you’ll need to start thinking about moderators for the forums.
If you start feeling burned out then be more selective about who, when, and where you respond to viewers. You’ve already started doing that which I think is a good thing for you. I certainly don’t want ETCG to end so do what you gotta do to pace yourself and strike a good balance. Time alotments can help. It reminds me of Bruce Almighty when everyone wants a response to their prayers and Jim Carrey has to get creative about how he sorts, files, and responds to his “viewers”. One man can’t do everything. If the voices get to be too many, too fast, time to think about a team. Just my 2 cents. We want to continue watching your awesomeness until we’re old and gray. Do what you gotta do so that we can continue to have you as a part of our lives for all time.
