BIG CHANGES COMING TO BUTTON GUYS OF THE NEW YORK MAFIA

As we mentioned several weeks ago, Button Guys is undergoing many changes and improvements which is why we've been releasing new articles less frequently on the website and significantly slowed down posting up new videos on Mob Fireside Chat.

So, what's happening over at Button Guys? One major change is that we’re in the process of completely overhauling the website. After almost five years, we think it's time.

Part of this overhaul is implementing a new and improved and simple one-step paywall/login system that will make it much easier to sign-up. It improves the sign-in process for our current subscribers and makes it easier for new subscribers to become a "button guy" at https://thenewyorkmafia.com.

We are also in the process of creating, updating and/or expanding many articles, some of which have been down for some time. In fact, we have nearly 1000 articles on our website currently and about 200 of them are down. So, while not all of them will be up before the relaunch, improved versions are on the way.

We also will be reposting The Rat's Nest - a fan favorite - which has also been down for some time. We have some new Chicago Outfit articles coming your way as well from our resident Chicago historian Dushan Dzonov and some extensive new bios on some very interesting characters that I'm personally working on myself - two of which will be made into future videos. The Other Guy, of course, always has something new up his sleeve, drawn from his treasure trove of unique mob content.

Like nearly everything else in life, along with this huge overhaul, Button Guys feels it’s time for an increase, so we will be raising our subscription rates from $48 to $58 for a one-year subscription. Our current subscribers will keep their current rates as long as they maintain their current subscription. But any new subscriptions (even ones that have lapsed) will be at the new $58 rate.

This new rate becomes effective once the new site launches early next year. So, if you've been thinking about joining our exclusive Button Guys family, now's the time to lock in before our prices go up. It's been about three years since we raised our prices.

There are a lot of exciting new things coming your way this year from Button Guys and our goal is to give our readers and supporters the most thoroughly researched and comprehensive information about the American Mafia (and elsewhere) - information thats just not available anywhere else…not anywhere!

Our unique underworld content doesn’t just focus on the same, few names repeatedly like others do, beating the same old dead horse (or mobster) over and over again. I mean seriously now, how many different times can you read the exact same story told different ways about John Gotti, Paul Castellano, Anthony Salerno, and the few other mobsters that people constantly drone on about, over and over and over again? It gets boring!

That's not what Button Guys of the New York Mafia is all about.

Why? Because while those individuals may have been important components of the Mafia during their lifetimes, they were but a scratching of the surface of all the thousands upon thousands of other guys, the shadowy, little-known, and unknown guys who really comprised the Mafia machine and kept it running smoothly; the unspoken of “spokes in the wheel” who were the real backbone of organized crime in this country.

That’s who we focus on because without those men, there wouldn't be a Mafia! Cosa Nostra doesn't exist based on a few flashy names. To the contrary, it’s the thousands of unknown, shadowy hoodlums who truly built and maintained the Mafia machine.

So, if you're looking to learn about some truly interesting mafiosi and racketeers that aren't the same old same old, Button Guys is where it's at.

We don't have a specific relaunch date, but it will be sometime within the first two months of the New Year!

As a special note to our current subscribers, as we get closer to relaunch, we will be emailing you about our new, simple one-step login process and what to expect. Look for that email sometime towards the end of December, beginning of January.

We here at Button Guys are very excited and happy about what’s coming. And we’re confident that as you, our readers and supporters, learn about all the upgrades, changes, and new content we have in store for you, you will be too!

Button Guys isn't going anywhere. To the contrary, through the strong support of our subscribers and fanbase, we have grown and expanded exponentially these last five years. Rest assured, we’re here for the long haul, and as the saying goes, “with excellence comes the ability to improve on what you have to offer.” And that’s exactly what's happening at Button Guys right now.

In the meantime, as the holiday season approaches, however you choose to celebrate, Button Guys wishes everyone a safe and joyous holiday and a prosperous and Happy and Healthy 2024!

Thats been our pleasure TD. And of course, as you know, it is gratifying to see people enjoying our hard work. We've got lots of good stuff coming up and as we mentioned, we plan on having you contribute even more of your great Chicago content in the coming year.
