The Sad Exodus Continues
The Sad Exodus Continues Within the last few days I have been made aware of 2 more very interesting, funny and intelligent bloggers who intend to leave the site. Both have been blogging for at least as long as I have been and we have interacted for as long as I can recall. Both will be significant and unpleasant losses to this space. I don’t know how much attention they want brought to this but one has already mentioned it on her blog – Joiseygirl. The other may get mad at me as she was not going to announce it – BiggLala. We have seen way too many very good bloggers leave over the last year, some, if not all, for personal reasons, which is understandable. However, one has told me, and we all seem to be aware of this on some level – the lack of diversity has made this place a lot less interesting. The lack of diversity comes from a lack of interesting, funny, unique, different points of view, experiences, and knowledge. These bloggers also respond to the comments left to them. To me these are the qualities that make for good posts by good bloggers. One question is – why have we lost diversity? Petty jealousies, judgments, are a significant factor in this place losing its diversity. I don’t wish to cover that here and now. I only wish they weren’t leaving. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. |

Interesting thing is, now a month later, 1 never left and the 2 who did leave are back. How about putting what you write on the kink site here? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

imagine this diversity coming from a person who voted for the divider of our country- now that's diverse-lol When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Do we need regulation on thought, expression? Beyond respect no. But others here have acted on their allegedly moral superiority in that kind of capacity. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I can only handle *so* much nudity a day, and then I'm done. . So I go to a few like that that I like a day , and sometimes one new one... and then look for other things. You do become immune to all that eventually. But if you look around, there IS other stuff to read. I do read others sometimes but I'm not finding much good writing.

I don't know what cock Joisy was getting so I'll refrain from addressing that. Far as diversity goes I agree with you. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Both are/were bloggers that have been on my watched list for some time. I'll definitely miss them. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Disaster............... The pic's, the dreaded porn pics, no doubt dumb down the blogs generally, but as you say, there has to be a place for that kind of thing. For me, the biggest issue is the over-bearing nature of the cliques. That was the biggest reason for my relative inactivity earlier this year. I'm off now to lament and implore, and explain........... Ta for letting me know McScally! When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I hope you do. I believe the damage done to the blogs still isn't over. I believe the old troll is the one that was fucking with you with THAT fake profile. That still makes my blood boil every time he peeks out from under his rock. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

The ebb and flow of these blogs over the years have been not good for the most part as good to decent bloggers have come and gone over the years and the ones whom you remember from way back in the day are long since gone so you attach yourself to the familiar ones as a way of relating to the past while trying to be relevant in the present and future?

You and I have discussed one reason bloggers have left. I'm thinking about writing about the fallout of what happened a year ago.

Jeezus! Why do we lose the good bloggers that know how to make us use our brain? Huge losses to Blogland. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Sometimes people just move on...life goes through changes. Also, those of us who have been blogging a long time run out of topics. I seldom read someone else's blog these days who isn't touching on something I have already blogged about. I feel I've become redundant and wonder does anyone really want to read me opine about the same subjects again...and again? In regard to what you said about your posts. So, while your posts may be redundant to you they would be new to someone else - including me. So I would say (in my best Martha Stewart voice) it would be a good thing . . . to perhaps go back to some of your old posts and see if you feel or see things the same way now or if you would reword it. If so that would be something interesting to post up. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I been on this site for over 10 years and over this period of time I have seen many top bloggers disappear for all kinds of reasons. Hopefully they take some time off and come back soon as they are ready. I left blogland a few years back because of the petty drama and jealousy of a few blogger. Hopefully we see them back again.. Another two good ones gone again hugsss V When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Both will be huge losses to the land of blog. I rad both of them but I do not always leave comments. Hopefully, they will come back to us, full of tales of where they have gone. Even more hopeful, maybe they will change their minds When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

It's very sad to see good bloggers leaving. I like blogs that give me an insight into the mind of the writer and there's not much of that in many of the blogs these days. Too much along the line of sexy photos and not enough meaty discussion. I know this is a sex site but just how many times can you comment "nice photo" before you say you've had enough! I hope they will find other places to share their talent for writing. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I haven't read nor followed, J's blog, but I do L's. And she was a frequent and insightful commenter and I enjoyed our exchanges. But blogging as a whole is down for like you stated, 'a variety of reasons' but that's for another post. I will miss them, but I am also very 'Happy' for them in that they have or will break away from the site. This place is merely a pit-stop on the journey. It is NOT the solution.

I've blogged here on and off for 12 years--I used to blog under a couples profile...fantasia_shares. I logged in to see if I could find anyone I'd lost track of that I used to follow. I found one person still blogging that I hadn't already added here, DoctorBooty (although pretty sure he started blogging well after I began), and realized that one of the blogs I now follow was someone from that time, but I'd not remembered it... [blog Wantingsexymind2]. I know that DoctorBooty & I were talking about how far things have drifted. I can confirm that the blogs have most certainly decreased in quality over time, although there are still a few that are quite good. [blog BiggLala] most definitely has one of those. When it takes me all of 10 days to capture the top blogger status for the entire LA area, I feel like that is a pretty good measure of how far it's drifted. There used to be about 3 or 4 LA bloggers I liked back then...they are all gone...and I'm not super excited about the locals these days. It took me about 3 weeks to land in #5 for the whole state of Cali...the ENTIRE state of California. I mean, sure, my blog is good...but...what? People do age out...get tired of blogging here, that's a fact. That being said, this site's interface hasn't changed much at all in those entire 12 years. Everything still looks more or less exactly the same. I'm not sure what is going on with the decision makers, but they don't really seem that motivated to keep the site updated, functional, and relevant. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the decrease in quality around here. MOST of the time I'm well behaved...but if you weren't, and, enjoyed having your ass handed to you, visit my blog and become a subscriber. There you can read all about how I am actively authoring, and rewriting, my life . Trying to get a bigger audience? Here's my .02 Content What Content 8 Things To Consider Towards Better Content {=}

I'm so glad I get to see joisygirl in person on a regular basis... She's been one of the very best finds on this site! I'm certainly going to miss Lalas blogs and all the comments on them. It's the words that matter to me about the blogs and of late, it's been nothing but pictures pandering to the lowest common brain cell. *sigh When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

There may be lots of good bloggers leaving, but it always saddens me, when my favourites leave. I have no idea what this "lack of diversity" is, but in my 8 years of blogging, I have always interacted most with a core group of a couple of dozen bloggers. From that core group, there are only a few left (one of whom rarely posts). I am always excited to discover someone who is insightful, and may lead my thought, or focus, in a new direction. For that reason, I am sad to see 2 such active and interactive bloggers leave. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

While I love tits, and yours in particular, and that does have a place here, there does have to be more to it that just pics and wow. You and I need to brainstorm about blog topics.

yes most blogs are boring- they show no evolvement in thinking- I don't blog because most subjects that interest me are above just sex and boobs ect- When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I've been tossing around the idea myself lately NO No NO No I seem to be commenting less for similar reasons. And I get the privacy thing. I don't tell everything about me either - for various reasons. Blogs that are just pics all the time can get boring - did I just suggest naked women are boring? I have become officially jaded. But all you can say is wow or hot etc. Not much interaction there. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
