THIS IS THE BLOGS, WELCOME

I have been wondering for a while now when CS started their Blog program just how it would turn out. You all have seen where they have set up rules and their reasons for setting up blogs which I believe was in good spirits. Now look at the blogs and wonder what happened and now I wonder is this ok even though I don't believe this is what was intended.

Do you think they knew it would go this way, or maybe just ignored what they intended to be so much different than what it is.

This is not anything against CS, I am wondering if this is just something that got away from them that was just to big to fix.

What's your opinion, is the blogs now what it was intended to be?

Hey Wen!

it is what it is now because of us bloggers...hug
...and lots of blogs about blogs...dunno
cheers
The blogs are more similar to the forums than they were.

But either way, human nature is human nature, and if you are hoping that all on here with be pleasant and full of sweetness and light all the time, it's time to log off now laugh
Hi CH, after posting this blog I thought the same thing. hug
Viking, this blog was not about blogs,it was What the intention of CS and is this how they thought it would turn out.

Thank you for your comment. cheers
Hi Molly again as I just said this is not what I expected of the blogs, it is what CS thought they would turn out.

Thank you for your comment.
Wen, before the usual suspect posts it. Here is CSs take on blogs laugh


A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you've learned. Post an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day. Update your blog on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say. Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with others. Reading blogs is a good way to learn more about others.
Molly, yes that is what I said in their reasons of rules and platform, it is right there in front of us all.

My point is do they except what is going on now on blogs as to what as it appears that they started off believing in.

Am I missing something in what they published.
THE BLOGS
"their Blog program,setting up blogs, look at the blogs, the blogs now ."
Hi wen, I just cutted this out of youre blog, and count the word blog seven times... how can you say this is not a blog about blogs?dunno
anywayes, no need to explain the point of youre blog about blogs, as I`m somhow able to read...
laugh

...and no, I don`t think the blogs was intended to be like this...
I think a lot of people gave up blogging because the whole blog-consept is wearing out...?
-and the few thats left have allready repeted most topicks at least three times each...

handshake
I am not sure if the intention Wen, but I don't think they're as bad as the forum.

But like with the forum, I make the choice where I post. There are under currents I feel both on the forum and the blogs.

If your face don't fit... you are going to know it.
Hi Viking, yes I might have said blogs 7 times and yes about blogs, but again it was on what they intended on their Blog program.

And you did answer no you don't think it turned out the way they intended it to be, and I agree.

Thank you for your comment
cheers
Molly, I believe that to it has to come down to the bottom line profit. That has to explain why they allow certain things to continue on here if this is not what their platform started out to be.

Makes sense.

Thanks for your n comment.
Hi KN, good to see you again. wave

I don't they can change it or would even think about it. They got a hit here. laugh

I was just wondering if they ever expected blogs the way they are now.

As some have mentioned I is to their advantage the way it has turned out.

Good seeing you. hug
Hi Rachie, I have never cared for forums, I just stay here with blogs. I am sure forums and blogs can be a real challenge to some people, I guess you just have to know the people and how things work.

Thank you for your comment. hug
Hello Wen,

I can understand why some people don't bother with the forums. I think you just have to shape your own world on here.

I think everyone has their own reason to blog..



hug
All good here wen, hope you are enjoying semi-retirement and having more time to yourself.

Good to see you, hope things are going well for you. hug
Rachie, that makes a lot of sense. thumbs up

hug
KN, yes everything is going good here and glad to hear everything is good with you.

hug
Bear, yes I am sure it's the same on all sites. Just real curious if this is the way they intended.

Thank you for your comment. hug
Controlling the blogs would be like herding cats wow

The ancient Guardians allow a lot of leeway and to some degree the blogs are also self-policing - bloggers take exception to totally ludicrous statements and argue, or will turn on the more unpleasant trolls far beyond what even a troll wants in the way of attention. There are many who blog only to a tiny select audience of those who share their politics or their religion, and are quite happy within their narrow groups, with most ignoring them.

CS may have hoped for, or expected, more of the love-me-please blogs uh oh

laugh
Hi Biff, like herding cats laugh good comment and I believe to be true.

They probably think they got a good thing going here. You know like why fix something that is not broken. laugh

hug
Hi Wen..hug

Just passing through...
Don't really know what to say but I do have noticed a difference in the last 5 years I've been here.

Now you can see why I chose to work with orangutans ?..and horses...and gorillas.

I'm also interested in the wild felines.
Hi Daniela, laugh yes I see why you love animals more these days.

You never know, you might start a new trend.

hug
Hi Daniela As you and I had discussed in your blog last night that like yourself I'm beginning to prefer 4 legged furbabies over people most of the time too.Animals don't seem to hold grudges as some humans do.
@ Daniela, Bear.

Lions Tigers and Bears. Oh My.

laugh
how do Wen wave
the mad doctors crew I think blog as CS had intended, us regular crew that once may of used to, do it our own way now...to me this place is like moving along with change and the times now having said that, looking back is good as well... perhaps we've got the best of both worlds here wine
It depends Wen. When I first joined in and just reading them blogs without the interest of commenting, some were worse than now. That was in 2011.

Then I checked the blogs before that and it is even worse. You can go back and check them yourself.

I do know that they have changed the format so many times already.
Hello BW..wave

That's very true...they're loyal and don't judge either.

That's right Wen...we should start a new trend here ?


My opinion of being on a dating site...
For most it's to find Love...I presume?

But...I can't see much of that on here..if at all???sigh
Hi LJ, yes I agree that's what I was just saying to itchy. I do enjoy the blogs just not much into the personal attacks, but nothing wrong with disagreeing and good debates.

Thank you for your comment. hug
Hey, Wenwave

This quote from Carlin says it all. "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

We, humans, are stupid, by design, and when acting as group normally we do prefer to "destroy" instead of building.

CS is a great platform , full of areas and features. even for the "nonlookers". (I bet when they googled blog, CS was in the top). No changes can work to control "humans".

cheers
Hi Bogart, I like the quote from Carlin thumbs up laugh

I like the blogs and the people here, but as you said get in a large group conversing

Thank you for your comment. cheers
Actually, the blogs is almost as what I have remembered it to be years ago. Only, some people Ive known aren't here anymore.. purple heart
Hi Blue, you so right about that a lot are gone now. There are so many I miss, but on the other hand there are still some here that have been here in my 5 years here. They have become good friends.

hug
That's great to know Wen. Well, keep spreading the love and this blogs alive. wink
Hi Wen, what CS does not know is that I am using a great ad-blocker...laugh cheers
Wen, they do now rolling on the floor laughing
Sorry that should have been for Luke doh laugh
Wen, seems every site you can post on is similar these days, it may not be what they intended but just how the world is now dunno
Luke, do you want me to delete your comment to keep it a secret. rolling on the floor laughing
