His workload has always been astonishing tbh. Think about it: how many websites such as this have made it fifteen years with the only schedule slip being beyond his control? Very rare indeed I would say. It would be sad to see that (potentially) come to an end as a fan, but all of us have to change/stop doing what we love eventually. And we did get a great ride out of it.unknownsample wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:25 pm Yes there's that as well. I do wonder if Chuck is overextending himslef and should slim down to focus on a few shows.
Why DVD? That only costs money for no good reason. Just make it easily downloadable and offer, say, commentary tracks or something.clearspira wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:05 pm Vimeo is an inconvenience; but Chuck's near heart attack is far more pressing. Get well soon, mate. We'll still be here.
PS If you ever read this Chuck, I would buy a DVD collection of your videos and I am sure many others would too. Might be good revenue for you as you get back on your feet.
Because in a month when he's forced to take them down from that host, you'd still have your DVDs.Madner Kami wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:52 pm Why DVD? That only costs money for no good reason. Just make it easily downloadable and offer, say, commentary tracks or something.
Yep. Windows Player isn't going anywhere.Deledrius wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:18 pmBecause in a month when he's forced to take them down from that host, you'd still have your DVDs.Madner Kami wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:52 pm Why DVD?

And the amount has ramped up over the years, from one ten minute review a week to what we've got now, and that's a hell of a lot for one person. Would anyone be in the slightest bit bothered if he eased off a bit? Not just take the occasional break then back to the high workload, but an overall lighter workload? I certainly wouldn't.clearspira wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:40 pmHis workload has always been astonishing tbh.

I first started watching whilst he was doing grainy Youtube vids. Going back to just Saturday Trek whilst he sorts everything out would not bother me.Riedquat wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 1:41 amAnd the amount has ramped up over the years, from one ten minute review a week to what we've got now, and that's a hell of a lot for one person.
