Whither Blogroll

The first order of "back to blogging" is to blog. The second order is to shake off the dust we've accumulated in our three month hibernation. Funny that it I felt the need to take three months off after blogging for only three months, eh? My new years resolution is to blog for at least four (perhaps three and a half) months this time out.

So I decided to visit the old WAR blogroll to see how everybody's doing:

Archmagery used to be the most frequently updated non-Syp, non-group WAR blog. Now it's "mostly dead", by which I mean "about as dead as this blog has been," with sporadic bi-monthly posting.

Bloghammer Online has a "goodbye" post at the top of the page from early October.

Book of Grudges, which to me was "it" when I was blogging, shuttered at the end of November.

Echoes of Nonsense is, if anything, more active than it was before. Way to hold the fort, Ardua!

OMGompers hasn't posted since October 4th.

When I visited The Greenskin I saw the UI in this post and immediately thought, "I guess he's playing WoW now." But it was a WAR UI, which I gather have evolved quite a bit. Still active.

The Order of Destruction cannot even be viewed. It is now "protected".

The Tome of Ignorance, has similarly been wiped clean. All that remains is a message at the top :
This blog have been shut down due to lack of interest from the writer, probably for good.
Waaagh has been movin' on up to the East Side, to a Deluxe Apartment in the GameRiot.

And finally, Zizlak's Travel Diary is still going strong, although each page only has one post, which is a little irritating.

Well, that's it for slimming down the WAR blogroll. Now I get to beef up the regular-gaming-blogroll (of which I guess I am now a member).

My posts tend to get imo sometimes too long and not to hit you with mor than one wall of text, I put only the newest post on the starting page.. the rest can be accessed by the "recent posts" entries on the sidebar..

I never thought of it as being irritating.. I will have to think about that.
