Blogs section ruined ?

Most of you who come here regularly will have noticed the changes to this section. The 'back end' or older blogs are getting chopped far more frequently. And they now only seem to be keeping a max of two pages (from view all) - this prevents some blogs even getting read by ppl who can't sign on every day. Especially when greedy ppl post 10 blogs one after the other! In addition, the nice sequences of comment posts are now not possible without having either a huge list of 'watched posts' or by having to dig into the actual individuals' posts.
I personally do not now like the way this section is administered. To me, the changes have spoint the fun.
I wondered what other regulars think or have they even noticed ?

Hopefully, they develop a better system to handle the increase in bloggers. As the trend becomes more mainstream, and people join sites and regard the benefits of blogging, the more people who will join in on blogging.
The administrator's must prepare for this and increase their server speed, and storage space. Along with developing a better method of posting blogs.
maybe they can remove the section on the page which list "new bloggers", as we will see who they are as they post, as for me, seeing who's new blog title or handle is listed, is not as relevant as seeing "what is blogged!!"

As a site that is for companion finding and sharing, it's probably more about what other's have to say, than who's new handle joined in.

It's the same with the most popular list, it was so distressing sometimes at the top, because other member's blogs and pictures did not get featured, and then you also have a lot of people, who actually only pay attention to who's at the top. and if you notice, many who reach the top, seem to somehow fade away or back off a bit, maybe it's the subliminal pressure of feeling they have to stay active and respond to so much or so many.. but who knows what the reason is..
I blog cause I like to write and share thoughts. so I just do it, and what other's choose to do as for leaving and comming , being active or fading, is just something that is.

TG, it's all cool, we can still write our thoughs, and those who read them it's fine, and those who don't, probably choose not to, for so many reasons that it's probably not possibly to speculate.
some writes have talked about addiction and etc, of blogging and may be coping with how they feel about it after the initial glow settles in. and some continue on, sharing frequently or sparodically.

it's really not worth much of anguish in the big picture of life and things.... smile and enjoy

Npr - now that IS a good idea. Another one of my 'little niggles' is ppl who give their post an English title but the content is not in English - can't see the point in that?
If they separate the bolgs, they could also have separate servers and speed things up a bit.
I know it's 'cool' Touch, but so much enjoyment of the continuations of some comments is being lost - I just can't remember who's actual blog post it was.
I've just 'followed a lady' to another site by invitation and that site seems so much better so I'm trying that one out for a bit. I'll probably stay here as well?

Sir TG,

Almost burst out with laughter of your mentioning about greedy ones that posted 10 at the time ... to my opinion multiposting was purposely done to acquire a higher stand in the " most view blogs section" thus pushing down some of the blogs to the lower part of the page.

Anyway, Lots of us do it for the purpose of friendship or search for love interactions, and thats where my stands falls.

Topgent,
I don't stress the little things in life. Work around them until they can be fixed is what I say, my friend. Though those mega bloggers do get annoying, lol!
