Seismic Stan is one of my favourite people in the Eve community and his slow disengagement over the past year has saddened me. I really wanted to fly with him in a fleet sometime. Perhaps someday we will.
When Crazy Kinux gave up the ghost and moved on, I was considering grabbing the Blog Banters and running them put was beaten to the punch by Stan. I was not disappointed as I knew at the time he would do a great job.
Now, they are up for grabs again amoung a lot of talk about whether blogging is on the way out, supplanted by Twitter and conglomerate news sites.
Blogs have a place in this world, and blog banters are the piece that pulls us altogether. I want them to survive even if the Evebloggers.com and Eve Blog Pack don't.
Let me be that custodian, Stan. Let me continue the good job you have done already.

I say we have Frig tourney to settle this!!
ReplyDeleteA replacement for the eve blog pack already exists : http://foo-blogroll.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/eve-blog-packs.html
ReplyDeleteThe actual 'post' is *way* down the bottom of the blog list on that page.
A large but very basic blogroll; best viewed in 'web mode' on my andoid phone.
I have no idea whether the current evebloggers/eve blog pack will continue as is. At a bare minimum, it needs an update to remain relevant.
If someone else does a good job of a blogroll, they have my full support; and I am very happy for them to take my list as a base; and even happy to help collect additional links.
I am also very happy to prominently link blog banters home page.
I support the idea that Kirith look after it and add my thanks to Matt.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for blogs being on the way out - look at the CSM voting. Bloggers swept it.
In my list of RSS feeds 'Inner Sanctum of the Ninveah' already comes right after 'Freebooted'.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I already advised Roc to run a BMTHOKK for not getting the Blog Banters under his care :P
Heh, Roc knows where to find me, I'm only ~9 jumps away.
