@video_game_king: Have you tried posting your blog outside of the confines of GB? If so how was the reaction?
You mean that's an option?
Seriously, though, I have been considering archiving screenshot threads on Tumblr for all of today. It seems doable; all I need is coding knowledge to make the process less needlessly tedious. Who knows? It could encourage blogging. Could.
I fully support this, and would love to check out more blogs! (And I should try and make more time to be more actively engaged as well.) I believe the many blogs I've enjoyed reading have already been mentioned, and rightly so!
Also, I wish that the people following you could/had to leave a blurb telling you why they decided to follow you. Sometimes I get the weirdest follows.

Followed. Why? Because.
How's that for feedback?
Occasionally I leave a message explaining why I followed someone, but I've never gotten a response back, so I quit doing that out of fear that I was being weird.
Though I pretty much only follow people if they're either nice, funny, interested in similar things as me, or a some combination of that.

I follow the people I intend to replace Single White Female style. But it's best not to tell them that so I keep it to myself.

That's pretty much the same criteria I use when finding new people to follow. I've never left feedback, but I know I've followed people at seemingly the most random times.
@fobwashed: that's being worked on, sorry we had a bunch of stuff in queue (still cleaning thru the bug lists). We need to purge moderator topics from that listing and we can re-release to the wild.
@mrpibb: No worries. Things are always being worked on in the order of what's on the most fire =P What I really do need from you is your damn shirt size... Get on it duder!
I know the site's reduced social functionality has really dampened my enthusiasm for it lately. Still hoping it will eventually get back to 2011 levels of functionality. It feels like it's been quasi-broken for 2+ year.
@video_game_king: Seems to me the amount of nostalgia your topic conjures is what counts, more than the effort sometimes. Or if you get in the middle of an established conflict.
It definitely helps if people have actually played the game you're blogging about.
I have to admit if I haven't played the game being covered, I don't usually comment as what can I add if I no first hand experience on the matter? Although I usually always read both your blogs (unless I'm trying to avoid spoilers)
@slag: The more people that have played the game, the better. Including spoilers is also an audience shrinker. I totally understand that it can be impossible to comment on a write-up for a game you haven't played.
@believer258: Yeah, probably about 50% of the time I'll post on someone's wall why I followed. Actually making it mandatory might result in fewer people bothering to click the button.
@hailinel: I feel the need to correct your three choices of gender pronoun for @pepsiman. ;)
@mento: @zombiepie: Ok, so it's just 80,000 or so that were automatic? I feel better now. ;p
@c0l0nelp0c0rn1: Hmm, according to your profile I don't? (Something glitchy that seems to happen with the new site is disconnecting people I used to follow. Not to mention my post count jumped way up.) But assuming I did, I bet it was due to a good comment.
If blogs were written with intentions instead of words, then I would be blogging all up and down this place.
Quoting the hell outta that. Also reiterating that blogs are one of the less common reasons I follow someone (since I'm mainly an article comments duder.)
Hey hey it's #F5 Friday! Let's keep the fun follow freight train rollin!
This list of names is brought to you by: Page 1 of my profile followings. Again without getting into specifics I can't remember, these are all good honest site-lovin' folk who may or may not be active. Do you remember them? Discuss!
@brackynews: I'm deeply flattered that after having long gotten tired of the Bobrossfreak username on YouTube myself after coming up with it during my dumb non-sequitur high school humor years that there's still someone out there who likes it. ;D

I just now realized that I'm not following you. I know who you are (or at least if I saw your username, I'd think "that looks familiar"), so I shall amend that error posthaste.
@video_game_king: I seriously don't mean to talk about myself in this thread, but I should at least say Thanks Duder for being my #200! I've always felt our circles of activity on the site don't overlap much; but not for any specific reason. Those people who have several mutual friends, but never strike up a conversation until years later. Building bridges right here in GD! #realtalk
