BLOG OF THE PREACHERMAN SHOW

A Quick Update

2007-08-14T23:25:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let you fans know how the site is doing. As you all know, the site is approaching the six-year mark. We have had about 30 thousand registered visits through Yahoo's site counter (keep in mind, it was reset in 2005). I find that this proves preacherman.cjb.net to be an enormous success, and it's influence has reached something I had never dreamed of.

Six years ago, a friend (Vooltan) introduced me to the show. We watched it every week, and I found "The Preachermanshow" to be at once both incredibly intriguing and humorous. A bit of digging online turned up nothing. So, after following Walter Tribe's weekly diatribes, I wrote a summary of the show in the voice of its creator and star. Unbeknownst to me, The Preacherman Show had developed a strong cult following throughout Los Angeles county, and before I knew it, visitors flocked to my fansite. Over the next year or two, I made constant improvements to the site and held a few contests, which were very successful. TPMS had some dedicated fans, I tell ya. Some of of the written part of the site was absurd, others worth a few chuckles, and other parts mysterious and intriging. I don't think The Preacherman would want it any other way.

The Preacherman himself, Walter Tribe, eventually found out about the site, and subsequently it was made his official site. I would like to take this moment to thank some of the fans for helping with hosting, adding new content, submitting links, and making this site a wonderful site to develop.

I will now leave some interesting tidbits involving the site:

A documentary film was in the works involving the Preacherman, but eventually srapped due to various production problems.

Preacherman merchandise was made, several different sites sold products including t-shirts, coffee mugs, shirts, and preacherman-branded clocks.

Black, high-quality t-shirts with the preacherman logo are in active development. Look for it in the upcoming months.

The "Retarded Website Coalition" features several well-known and popular sites. This originated on http://preacherman.cjb.net.

E-mail addresses @preacherman.cjb.net were given for a limited time in 2002 on a first-come, first-serve basis. Fewer than 100 email addresses were given to a few lucky fans.

That's it for now. As usual, if you have any questions or comments, leave a comment or a message. To the continued success of "The Preacherman Show!"
