Just a quick notification for a slight change to the server today. On top of the new donations feature we have added a place where anyone can share their stuff for sale, promote their favorite sellers, or share anything they'd like to promote! Feel free to use the #🔉promote-other channel to your hearts content and please keep all solicitations and advertisements unrelated to the lookin4tmnt project in that channel going forward. You may notice some sellers, such as Brian, have solicitations outside the self promo channel (his shows are posted to #📽live-shows ) We reserve the right to allow select sellers additional advertising rights here but doing so is at my sole discretion and is usually reserved for those who are active in our community and support our project. So with that said post whatever you like to the new #🔉promote-other channel and thank you for being the best part of this project !

Not making a big push or announcement about this but there is now the option to donate to the project on the #💥vip-access💥 home page. You can make a one time payment to the project and we will in turn use it to pay for community tools and experiences. This is probably the one and only time I'll mention this feature as it is not something I intend to advertise or push for. Its just available for those who want the most direct avenue of supporting the project. You will get a special @Donator role automatically upon making a donation, and i will be transparent with the use of any of these funds so the community can see how the donations are being spent.

I never expect donations and you should feel absolutely no pressure to give donations to the project, but the option is now there for those who feel like they want to give directly to the lookin4tmnt project.

Thats all. Thanks dudes!

Just to reiterate - the #🚨turtle-trap🚨 channel is exactly what is sounds like its not a real channel and if you send a message in that channel you will be banned. Of course if that happens for some reason just reach out to me and ill unban you. Going to leave the links these dudes are using up where they are for another week or so and see how these new improvements work. Again if you get censored or kicked or banned reach out to me and ill fix it and make the necessary adjustments so it does not happen again. We a free being monitored by 4 different ai security bots now all working different angles, playing to each ones strengths. We also have the turtle trap which should catch any spammed should they make it that far. Im going to get ready for the show now and get yesterdays stuff to the post office! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

While i am having a blast and collecting a lot of data from all of our new "Friends" it's time to be responsible and beef up the server a little more. You'll need to verify a phone number with discord to hang out here now, i assume we are all adults with phones but if this is a problem for anyone please reach out to me and ill see what i can do. I've activated an third automod with AI elements that will be scanning the chat, links, and images for inappropriate content. If for any reason it falsely flags one of your messages, please let me know so i can make adjustments. That being said, ive applied alot of what ive learned from the past week and it should be focused on explicit behavior links and images, and dialed in on scam attempts. Between the captcha, phones verifications, and AI mods we should have the server ready to scale if we need it but dont hesitate to let me know if these adjustments are in anyway affecting your experience here, they should not.

Surprise $1 starts on select IDW books and more this afternoon, and probably running into this evening. Im in one of those moods again so somebody warm up the #🏆hall-of-fame for me because we're cooking tonight.

Hey guys just wanted to take a minute to share an update from me personally. Im going to be moving to New Hampshire in a few weeks and have a lot of stuff I need to take care of before I do. I just wanted to let you guys know I may be a little less active than I normally am just while I get everything worked out for the move. As of right now ill be moving the weekend of the 27th so we wont have a Saturday morning show that weekend and depending on how things go we may not have a Monday show either. After im fully moved though expect an all-new lookin4tmnt experience with more shows, more inventory, more special events, and more fun. I appreciate everyone's patience and unserstanding during this transition period and rest assured, ill make it all worth it.

Feel free to tag or personal message me here in discord if you need anything, I may be a bit slower to respond than usual but I will make sure I am here for you guys as always, dont hesitate to let me know if theres anything I can do for you all and thanks so much for being the best part of the lookin4tmnt project. 😁

Made some small additions to the server this week. VIP members can now use emoji's to curate messages in the news channel and VIP chat. I reworked all our social feeds, condensing the number of bots we need and creating a more uniform experience when it comes to notifications. I just finished up the #channel which pulls in new TMNT listings from eBay. I am trying to work on a way to have a bot pull in sold and completed listings for help with pricing but so far i havent had much luck in that area, but ill figure it out. We moved and expanded our social feeds #🟢tmnt-social and #💬lookin4social to their own category, and each channel will have better organization of the social posts we pull in. I've added podcasts and a number of other sources to the feed as well, so more of that content will be pulled in. I also set up the #channel which will be a work in progress but for now has a pretty neat simple bot for you guys to play with if you want.

I think thats all the updates, thanks for hanging out with us and being a part of our quickly growing community!
