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.

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?

    imagine this diversity coming from a person who voted for the divider of our country- now that's diverse-lol
There won't be much, if any, diversity coming from that guy.

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.

    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.
The same women in the same pic over and over can get old. Shit, did I just say that

I do read others sometimes but I'm not finding much good writing.

    It's a great shame bloggers leave. I think joisygirl was increasingly disappointed with the quality of cock on this site!
    Diversity makes this site, but sometimes the necessary respect to diversity isn't always shown.
I don't know what cock Joisy was getting so I'll refrain from addressing that.

Far as diversity goes I agree with you.

    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...........

"the over-bearing nature of the cliques" A great way of putting it McKilty. And then they play all innocent and perfect as if people don't see the BS.

    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.
I try not to let the trolls get to me - they aren't worth my time or effort. But their effect is felt on the blogs - they came and ruined things and then left. If I post they will probably raise their ugliness.

    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?
I can see the attachments happening, but I haven't been here as long as you. I've only been here 2.5 years and a lot of good bloggers have left in that very short time.

    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?
Hi T, yes things change and people do move on - these are facts of life. The changes and movings on include new bloggers coming in to read and submit posts.

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.

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

    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.

Yes, the nice xxx gets old rather fast. Pics have their place here but it needs to be more interesting that just that to remain viable.
