People Channel Network

Gobcord's **People Channel Network** is a collection of Discord text channels managed by one or multiple owners for the purpose of showcasing creations and commentary. It was created on 13 June 2021 as part of an initiative to create an inspiration community category for the server. The network of channels is predominantly managed and overseen by the Council of Gobernors, who grant and remove privileges to members' own channels. The network was previously known as Gob Network.

## Current Programming

### Ker Channel

Ker Channel is managed by its namesake Kerzid, world-renowned Twitter artist, comic writer, video game player, and sock aficionado, and has been featured on the network since 4 May 2021. The channel primarily features content pertaining to their drama comic *Take to Heart* and its characters such as pages from the comic, cartoons/animations, art, bite-sized comic sketches, music videos, or commentary on the creation of the comic, to name several. Secondarily, the channel features content related to other original characters of theirs and outside media such as video games or music. It is one of only two channels on the network to predate the network itself.

### Nicky's Fly Fits

Nicky's Fly Fits (formerly Nicky's Piracy Corner) is a people channel managed by Nicky and their fiancée Pink, and created on 16 August 2021. The channel began primarily as a public blog of online piracy resources (particularly the pirating of music) which made use of link encryption. The channel is also used by Nicky to showcase music and music collections, outfits, and random commentary. At some point after April 2022, the channel was rebranded into Nicky's Fly Fits to accommodate its increased focus in Nicky's apparel collection.

### The Zachrooms

The Zachrooms (formerly Supermarket) began 6 October 2021 and is managed by Zacharie Mosar and Gavin "Zach" Bruh. It's used to showcase strange and disturbing images, particularly that of liminal spaces, and random commentary. In the past, the channel featured an untitled series of comic strips and animated sketches featuring Gavin as represented by Zacharie from the 2008 French indie game OFF adventuring through liminal environments and engaging in absurd comical hijinks; the theme of this comic strip, along with Gavin's online alias, facilitated the Zachrooms co-venture. This strip was discontinued in 2022.

### Him Channel

Him Channel was created by Sketchy "Him" Sketchington on 7 October 2021. He was inspired by Ker's Ker Channel and uses his own channel in a similar way to Ker, albeit with much less commitment. The channel is home to Sketchy's Frwog comic series. On 7 July 2022, Ker has gained access to this channel as well, mostly to continue bits started in their channel or to pester Sketchy for not posting in his channel.

### The Grand Oniomn

The Grand Oniomn is a multimedia showcase channel created for Australian digital and musical artist Oniomn on 1 February 2022. The channel was created as a replacement for the now-defunct Emy Stuff With Emy which was archived the same day. The channel gets its name from Grand Union supermarket, a local supermarket chain in the northeastern United States. Residents of Sam's town in Upstate New York often referred to the store as "the grand onion" as a joke. Literally absolutely 0 people but him understand this reference.

### Soda

Soda, known informally as the Pink Channel, is a channel created by former Gobernor Pink on 16 June 2022 for himself. It is used by him most frequently to showcase military tactical uniforms and gear, firearms, and automobiles. The channel also occasionally features political/social commentary by Pink that often draws little to no audience.

### Freakcrustable

Freakcrustable is a cooperative channel managed by Snosm, Nachos, and Bulrush, and is the spiritual successor to The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour/The Snosm and Bulrush Show. Similar to Variety Hour, it features an eclectic array of content vaguely focused on art, music and commentary. Freakcrustable is best known for its equally eclectic roster of hosts whose personalities interact with one another's zanily and fricatively. It was created by the Council of Gobernors on 2 October 2022.

## Discontinued programs

Below is a list describing programs on the People Channel Network that were discontinued. Most channels on the network are discontinued because of a lack of use by their hosts or because of a change in a host's commitment to the channel.

### Samsung RW

Samsung RW (formerly Summer Time, Summer and Wilam Time, and Sum Rain Wil) was created by Gobernor Summer on 2 June 2021, and was managed by Summer, Wilam, Rainyy, and Sam at its height. It was named after the Samsung CD-RW optical disc drive and the channel's four hosts. The channel began with Summer posting personal audio commentaries on life, the universe and Everything, in episodes called *vibe talks*. Not long after, the channel shifted focus on funny videos, charming personal life update messages, and recently on experiences with psychedelics and hallucinogens, particularly cannabis. The channel was discontinued on 28 January 2023. It was one of the longest-running people channels in the server's history.

### Zach Channel

Zach Channel, the predecessor to Nicky's Fly Fits and The Zachrooms, Zach Eggsalad and Gavin "Zach" Bruh along with an entourage of "zach babes" would post images of liminal environments or "backrooms" for viewers' enjoyment. The version of the Zach Channel created 20 June was only the second iteration of the channel after the original was accidentally deleted by Sam [lol]. It was officially discontinued on 15 August 2022.

### The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour

A channel dedicated to The Snosm and Bulrush Show, this channel was created on 2 July 2021 as a partnership between English composer and philosopher Snosm and his trusty steed Bulrush Cumbungi. The channel was created as a supplement to the defunct *Zach Channel* after one of the eponymous Zachs left the server. The concept of the show was an audio podcast of an almost absurd nature featuring the titular Snosm and Bulrush. The channel was relatively unused, with cohost Bulrush taking sporadic breaks from the server ontop of the two hosts being engulfed with personal work. Only one episode and a theme song had been produced since its launch. On 3 December 2021, The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour was cancelled and archived in favor of Emy Stuff with Emy. It was officially discontinued on 3 December 2021.

### Emy Stuff With Emy

Emy Stuff With Emy was an education channel created 3 December 2021 curated by Gobulite Emy. The channel was created to replace The Snosm and Bulrush Variety Hour and featured informative showcases on a variety of historical and civic arts such as alternate history, vexillology, speculative biology, worldbuilding, cartography, and paleontology. The channel served as a vice for Emy's carnal pent-up febrile transpunk rage. The channel was discontinued on-and-off throughout early 2022, but was officially discontinued with the creation of Erie Channel on 7 October 2022.

### Gay People Coven

Gay People Coven, formerly Shark and Plant and before then the ERIE Channel, is a channel managed by Chrysanthemum, Lena (a.k.a. RainSake), and Twig. I don't know what gets posted in there to be honest. It was created 7 October 2022. It was archived around the start of February 2023, mostly due to its inactivity.
