You are, but your thoughts are still important!

Thanks for voting!

Same here, I have both myspace and facebook and don't enjoy the time there as much as I do here...Go Blogster!

It might grow IF they can do the improvements without all the bugs...and the attacks (not bogger against blogger but the ones from outside)and the spam....

You're right...working out the bugs would be key to their growth. Spammers and attacks are, I believe, part of the territory.

Thanks for stopping by Nota!

The spammers I mentioned are not so much the ad spammers that we see on a daily basis- though those are a pain-as the ones that took the site downs a few weeks ago. There were HUNDREDS of ad sites put up in minutes and it swamped Blogster so badly it crashed.

The dangers of the WildWildWeb...Team is doing a great job handling it though, let's give them kudos!

How are those kittens?

d'p, Seem to have been moved...I haven't seen Momma recently.

lol... good morning charlie!

good morning Rica!!!!

If blogster had the wall and immediate update kind of stuff happening like FB, i think i would be here even more....

You surviving the rains alright Charlie?

think I'm getting cabin fever! lol. It should be dry by tomorrow afternoon and for Sunday. Where we are we get a lot of rain, but I'm not in any danger of mudslides or flooding...at least I don't think! We've been in this house for 21 years, and I'll tell you, the last couple of days I've seen some weather I never saw before!!

That's good to hear...I saw some terrible footage this morning and thought about all my California friends...Good to hear you're doing okay!

thanks, it's better today. The rain is much lighter and should be over by tomorrow...until minday and Tuesday...*sigh* lol

You're right about that, this site works when it is a free forum and everybody/anybody can express what they wish...perhaps, like people, blogster learns from thier mistakes too.

Thanks for making the comment and putting focus on this import issue!

Have a great weekend!

we're all still here, if that means anything. I don't think they've ever been mad at me for my blog, just what I say on other peoples blogs, or in a private message that some whiner has to bring public. Other than that I think we're pretty free to say what we want in our blogs.

Then why did I get a thirty day suspension for setting up a private group, Charlie?

All the other things I said (in anger...and you know what they are) were said AFTER my suspension began. And they weren't said in blogster, but in yahoo, which should have NO bearing on blogster account status.

And no, I'm not still here.  Not really.  I have to use a proxy to sign in because they've range banned my real IPs, and I'm not posting any original material until I can sign in without loading a proxy server.  Even then I may not, I'm still conflicted about the entire scenario.

little whip, your struggles are something I find inspiration in; I have yet to be banned or anything, but the rebel in me can see and feel your struggle...hang in there. You matter, your efforts matter and win you win your battle, you'll have made an important contribution to this place as a community.

But then again, I'm biased...

I honestly have no idea. I never joined so I have no idea what was going on in there. I didn't know you where using a proxy server either, I just thought you changed your name, and came in that way. Interesting. I researched a few proxy servers myself, chose not to go that way, but I wasn't range banned either.

You were still under suspension yourself when a lot of this came down, but I'm quite sure you were aware of what was going on.  If you care to discuss why I feel that way, we need to take it to PMs please.

And as of today, the range-ban was lifted.

Thanks, dp.  Once bit, twice shy, and I still haven't decided what I want to do here, if anything, anymore.  If I vacate and take up blogging elsewhere, I want it to be because *I* decided to, not because I was suspended over a rule that did not even exist when I allegedly broke it.

as long as we're getting along, everthing else can be water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. Good for you that the ban was lifted today. If you feel you need to PM me feel free other wise I would just as soon let by gones be by gones at this point, if thats cool with you.

Yup, that's more than cool with me.  It's a bit of a relief in fact.  Still have one more to make peace with, and he's resisting mightily, although he did admit I made him laugh when I called him 'dude' earlier in the week.

That's a start.

as the 3 stooges used to say...inch by inch, step by step... Moe! Larry! Cheese!! (big stooge fan!)

Stop before you're accused of calling him a stooge!

LoL.

he's a good guy, just older and stuck in his ways, there's a few of them here that way. I've learned to either stay away or ignore it from them. That's all anyone can do. Remember...water/bridge/flowing under. That's the easiest way right there.

What I want for my birthday!

79.95, not bad.

photo didn't take, but Ican see it's the box set of the Stooges. Does it have the original Curley, the other ones and Shemp? I really liked Shemp!

Blogmom...feel free to add me to your FB and to any games you play. I play most of the more popular ones...FV...FT...Pet Soceity...YoVille..one or two fish games..on and on and on. I'll send you a mail with my name in it. Already have a few bloggers here as friends.

See, that's one of the things at FB i don;t get into to, the games...I just don't have time for it! But mee too, add me if you're so inclined...and thanks for weighing on the issue!

I got it. I play farmville, yoville, super frackle, and things like that.   added you!

Yes, this is something I felt while you were gone...missed you. This is a community and as such, we are all neighbors, we people this place and make it what it is, for whatever its worth, I too hope it continues to grow and develop...thanks for your comments Maria!

I've thought about that too...if it gets too big, we all get lost in the minutia of a very popular place. This is a small village now but if it grows into a city size, we might lose the sense of intimacy we feel at present...Thanks for adding to the conversation, Cats...and I love your avatar icon!

Right, there's a delicate balance going on and blogster needs to remain a blogging place, not too full of games and what not...I'm sure you've seen the development of this site from a far longer perspective than I have and though I may be an old-timer (chronologically), I'm relatively new here. But I see the changes, subtle as they may be, and I think it's great too!

As always, I cherish your input (not to mention your great images) and thank you for your insights! have a great weekend!

You're right, of course...fairness is all tings.

Yes, well a part of the cover...Thanks!
