In the last article from November 2023, I've stated my future of BaratusLive.
Interestingly, I expected to stream less, but this was not the case. Since January 1, 2024, I've come back to YouTube stronger and more motivated. I also managed to reach over 700 subscribers.
However, the beginning of February was not necessarily the best for me in terms of Discord. Let's just say I had a buildup that led me to lashing out moments before an event at my server and sometime later decided to take two days off of Discord (was going to be 4 or 5 days, but I felt like I overshot my estimate). After those two days, I began my plan of cleaning up my Discord by leaving other communities because I felt more comfortable on my own servers with a few people. In many others, I wasn't active in the first place or was just plagued by meaningless turmoil.
While I'm almost done cleaning, I reflect on how I've established a small but loyal fanbase. I am finally opening the doors to the House of THEBaratusII Discord server, which was initially private but later became semi-public for DOSBox Deathmatch Club members.
Remember that when a user joins the server, they are greeted with a set of rules and a verification channel to combat suspicious behavior. To be authenticated, you must respond to several questions posed by myself or someone from the moderation team. Another consideration is that, while we want to keep things respectful in the community, we also seek to maintain a calm environment. Failure to do so will result in either a kick or a timeout.
At the same time, we like having fun during voice talks and other activities. So feel free to hang around if you like.
