Done with Bugster...Taking my blogging elsewhere.... by ekyprogressive on Blogster

http://vladimir.blogster.com/on-hiatus

I have to agree. I have had enough of this, most of you know where to find me either on myspace or have my email. Martin knows it if you want to get up with me, so does whereabouts and a few more. Its ok to give it out to martin and laura. I am done with this crap. They have destroyed this site, and I am not posting a single other post here. I feel like over a year's worth of work was just wasted here thanks to the "team" so I am done with this. I will be looking for a GOOD blogsite elsewhere, and will announce where on my myspace page, or may put it here when I complete it...Bye you guys.

Thanks AJ, I am still going to drop in and see what you all are up to. And when/IF they fix this mess to something similar to what it was before, I may resume blogging here. I just cant handle it as it is, and finding that my old links are dead just pushed me on over.......

I'll spread the word as soon as you tell me.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago
Thanks martin, like I told AJ, when/if they fix this to something at least close to the old one, and debug it, I may resume. It's just on my last nerve as is....

I understand perfectly! When they took away our links to the outside world, this basically reverted back to just a post of visiting back and forth with friends and enemies here on Blogster. Good luck and so sorry! I have lost 66% of my readership too.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago
that is what gets me the most, its like all I have done just got shot, and I have lost alot of outside readers now.. If they finally pull it together, I may resume, but for now, I am just over it...

Well my friend, hopefully you'll change your mind if they really finally get things straight here. I certainly hope you change your mind as one of the top bloggers here. However, I can understand your frustration. Take a break, and see if they do what they say.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago
Thats what I am going to do, take a break, and let them get their crap together..Its driving me nuts in this state that it is in...

Sorry to hear James. I have ur myspace adrees and will look there regularly. Thanks for all the posts you made, they were of excellent quality and its a great loss for blogster to see you leave. I hope we can keep in touch! xxx
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago
I will still be in and out of here, checking in with you guys. I am really just frustrated that I can't use half the stuff here...
blogmom said 6 months ago
Sorry you are so fed up with it all here. I don't blame you. I have been thinking about taking a break here because I don't like the fact that you have to download a different browser just to reply to someone. Very unprofessional. Well, if anything, I will see you on MySpace. If you notice, I post my blog more there than anywhere else.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago
I've noticed, I have you on my buddies update list...

How do you find and open comments on articles? You have notified me that I have some but for the life of me I cannot seem to find them with the link you provided or anywhere on my blogsite.

Are you saying we will get a share of AD revenue like other sites?

dutchmaus said 6 months ago
Will you repost a link to your Myspace page?
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

Sure...And I am toying with other sites at the moment too, until this one is straightened out. I don't doubt the team will fix things here, but until they do, I am over here...

I think you should wait for some time for the team blogster to get things in order because visiting your blog has been a pleassure for me and tons of other readers. We dont want to see your blog idle.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

I will probably resume when the majority of the bugs are fixed, and may post every now and then. In the mean time, I am testing out an different site.

I have not yet decided whether to stay or to leave Blogster. Certainly far too many things were changed in this new system such as my buddy lists and profile and the new system is too difficult to work with given the few viewers. I will remain semi-inactive until things settle down.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

That is kinda what I plan to do, wait and see what happens here.
dragonflyby said 6 months ago

Leaving? You can't do that to me! I have major abandonment issues!!!!!

Seriously, I may not visit you every day, but I love you being where I can always find you, and you are one of the voices I have come to look for, listen to and cherish. Yeesh, I hope this is a temporary abstention!
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

I will still be checking in to see you guys and whats going on. BTW, loved the new finished painting...

Check your messages...
AngryRepublican said 6 months ago
When the going gets tough , the tough ... I am sorry to see you leave.! Where will I find "hate Bush" and "evil American" news. (Other than Kos, and Crooks and Liars , and Salon, etc..) Just kidding . It was fun talking politics with you. You never seemed to take it personal. Good luck..!!
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

I still drop in to read some of the posts on here, and I plan on waiting to see the "finished product", let some of the bugs get squished, before I make any final decisions. I know the team is trying, and they have a big job on their hands, going from scratch.

I always enjoyed our discussions as well, while we disagree on alot, you are well read, mannered and a good sport. You certainly challenged my thinking, and made me have to dig much deeper on some things than I had before, and deeper than some of the Liberal media (in my case Air America, for one- I really listen to liberal media, not just the "so called") would discuss. And I do appreciate that...

Hi my brother,

How are you? How is everything up there? How is your dad? I have been missing you all and especially your posts.

After a long absence, I have just blogged in and guess what? I got shocked. lots of changes and lots of confusions here.

They are still after you? what is going on here? I am really confused.

Take care and write to me about the changes, please.

James,

Emotionally, I moved from Blogster six months ago. I drop by from time to time to chat with my dwindling group of friends.

I call my new site Israel and Beyond at jbpaz101.blogspot.com. Most of my writing there is in the original. As far as I can tell, everybody there ignores me a wonderful status.

During the past year Blogster has taken my family down five times. The worst was the last time when they disabled one of my computers for three months.

I looked at it as a learning experience. Since I left her in 1983, America has become a very different country to me.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

I wondered why you and the others occasionally disappear. I left a link to a website, where I plan to blog more now. you should check it out...It will remind you of the "good old days"
bumpedoff3 said 6 months ago

While I signed up for Greasy.com today, I saw the icons of Laura, Vladimir and you. Johndude was the second most popular.

The establishment is jealous of the marked support bloggers show the left. So, they purchase an established site and bust out the liberal elements.
ekyprogressive said 6 months ago

good point,,,gives incentive to stick around here some too...HEHEHE
bumpedoff3 said 6 months ago

I'll be on Blogster until they carry me out in a box. Technorati has posted Bumpedoff 824 times on the net. That's immortality.

The political Blogsters manage four-letter words in every article and 7 comments like "me too."

After the election even the rightwingnuts will lose interest.
