DazzleHP Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Hi all! So, I'm a bit shy, but i have lots of things to say - some may consider them valid, others may not. But i see the GE forum has a blog feature - and the only blog is Adultery displaying a rather humorous convo with Tom ^^ My question ultimately is: If i start a blog will it be there for the long haul? Because i don't think i would say much if it wasn't, in my opinion, worth saying.I've wanted to blog bout things since the beginning of time (for most of us about 5 years ago) but i'm not terribley sociable, i'm not into facebook n twitter etc. Could an old school enthusiast keep a blog going?-EDIT- Would anyone even be interested in some heated rants from a frustrated old school gamer?!

Tom Speirs Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey mate,Of course no guarantees but the current plan is to continue to fund the forum even if it expands a lot. Its been here since 2005. In terms of interest I don't really know. If it was interesting I don't see why not and we likeold school gamers here EDIT: In terms of Sociable and Facebook I am the same.. Do you find GameEx interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Also you wont know until you try so I would say go for it and give it a go. The worst that could happen is you might get little feedback. I would really like you to host it here and if you want to please give it a go. You will be in safe hands. Feel free to link back to it to etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I had a blog on my Home Server but it's kinda fallen into ruin. I was real active on it for about a month, updating it daily like a journal. Trouble was, nobody knew about it, and I included links to it in my forum signatures and everything. I think I've had like 4 hits since I started it. So I kinda gave up on it. Nobody was really interested in the crap I talked about. It also became a hassle to just go back every now and then just to make a post. Just didn't see the need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celly Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I enjoy reading rants and blogs and honestly with the group around here, it might just spark and catch like wildfire. I look forward to reading what you got Dazzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has definately swayed it a little more to the "hell, i'm gonna do it!" side heheI had a blog on my Home Server but it's kinda fallen into ruin.

Just didn't see the need to.Yeah this is why i have never tried one of the blogging sites - you got to get the traffic otherwise you're just writing to yourself something i don't need to do as i have debates with myself all day in my head I enjoy reading rants and blogs and honestly with the group around here, it might just spark and catch like wildfire. I look forward to reading what you got Dazzle.That's exactly what i was thinking! I'm a gamer through and through, it's a passion! And i'm assuming most people who regular these parts are gamers too - and some may be just as passionate as me about them. With a blog feature built right into the forum and no one really using it i thought why not? seeing as i've made myself a little home here ...I can't believe you guys called me out on this! lolI may well just give it a shot you know... keep an eye out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
