Main thing we are kicking up, is how there used to be more topics on here worth joining. Sure, there was always spam, but it just keeps getting worse. And its only been a few months, but most of the people that I made friends with have left, because they believe there's nothing on the site worth their time.

When I first joined the site, I didn't spam, I just joined discussions, and it was the highest form of traffic I had. Of course, I've found out how to promote my blog better by now, but the discussions slacked off, and the spam became more prevalent. Now Bloggers doesn't even appear on my "traffic sources" stats at all, when just a few months ago, it was pulling in triple what the lowest thing on there pulls in now....

Fact is, the best way to promote a site, on a social website such as this, is to join in discussions, and write with the same quality you do on your blog. People will read those discussions entries, become intrigued, and want to read more. When someone posts a topic, "Hey come look at my site and I'll look at your site," I don't view their site, because why would I want to spend my time going to a website when I don't even know what's on it?

Anyways, we are just concerned, and are hoping to bring this website back, because there are some really amazing people here, that deserve to have their blogs seen. And we don't want new bloggers to come in thinking this is what blogging is all about, spam and exchanges....
