A tribute to fallen bloggers

There are millions of bloggers out there. Qwaider planet has a big chunk of the Jordanian ones. bloggers are added all the time. some make their mark, readers follow them, read their posts, and interact with them. Others, not so much. some still blog, but privately or just delist themselves form Qwaider planet.
I just believe that, as readers of those blogs, we have a right to an explanation for their disappearance or sudden vanishment. Blogging as a social networking function, and all the commenting/communication going back and forth, deserves to be elevated in the social ladder to a place a notch below the relationship neighbors have.

In that Spirit, I am pissed at, and sense the tiny void left by, the following:
  • H.A.N.I
  • Tinckerbella
  • Asoom
  • that get lost with me something girl
  • Firas (I hate Amman)
  • Moey (no void left by this guy. He was the void!)
  • Single Qwaider
  • Whosane

  • .
  • and many others I can't seem to remember at the moment

Qwaider قويدر said...

Hani Quit, I feel really sad to see him go. He was one of my favorites. Sadly, life took him away from blogging. But I hope, that he will be back soon.
Tinkerbella closed her blog, opened another one, closed that one, opened a third one with a different name ..etc not sure what's the latest. But she lurks around blogs.
Asoom closed her old one, started a new one, and never asked to be added to Qwaider Planet. However, She's on Jordan blogs and GirlyGator
Lost Within, had to face the realities of being a med-student. She decided to invest in her future rather than blogging. So she gave up her hobby. She will probably make a fantastic blogger in 7 years from now when she's done
Firas, miss him too.
Single Qwaider moved to Antarctica never to be heard from again. It's rumored that he's in training for the first manned mission to Mars. Marvin would know.
Whosane, got sucked in by life ... He's around but too busy to blog.

Some made their blogs private because, believe it or not, all that talk I used to repeat like a broken record turned out to be right and your girding your privacy should be taken very seriously or things that you say can -and will- be taken against you. In many cases, it did happen.
For others they lost weight and got engaged -finally- now they're just waiting for the wedding to EXPLODE again. Others are having babies, nursing, busy with life, or Got what they need from blogging

hahaha ... the comment about Moey cracked me up. I wish i knew what is up between you too :-)

Anyway, i have my theory on how our blogosphere goes into these mutual slumps were people stop writing (or at least stop writing interesting posts for a while) and then come back up again. I was sad to see some of these bloggers go, but i hope they come back or at least we see other impressive bloggers join the ranks.

"Blogging as a social networking function, and all the commenting/communication going back and forth, deserves to be elevated in the social ladder to a place a notch below the relationship neighbors have." Interesting and totally legit view, however this isn't what I was seeking as a blogger.

Oh dear mab3oos, I'm still around. Your blog is still on my google reader and I occasionally comment. I'm now on diarysequel.blogspot.com however I no longer have the time and motivation I once did as a blogger so it's a different type of blog. Come see me!

I don't know about this right to an explanation thingy, but for you ok. There are some real freaks amongst the blogosphere community and even some lowlifes who live their social lives online; that's something I didn't take into account when I started diaryofasoom.

To clarify what another commenter stated, I was delisted off of qwaider planet way before my new blog. Diaryofasoom was "randomly" delisted at some point. Not that I at all care-just clarifying what was stated.

So where does it say it's your birthday? I don't see it! If it is Happy Birthday.....tell us what number birthday this is!

mab3oos said...

thanks guys for the Birthday wishes.

I too miss these bloggers. Believe me. Even Moey.

Hareega, this wave of infectious diseases is taking a toll on your comment-post coordination. I wish I had a tamiflu box to send you.

Kinzi, Asoom
the grand announcement came in this post.

Qwaider,
its ok if someone decided to stop blogging. Just like I said though, may be a final good-bye post would have been appreciated. Single Qwaider would be ashamed to see the new Qwiader's posting cheesy lovey love posts the whole time!

Za3tar,
it all started when I raosted him. he was angered by a post too frank to his taste.

asoom,
I know. I usually blame him for all that's wrong around here. It was my 29th. I still look like a 28 though.

za3tar said...

hmm .. but Moey's blog is still active afaik

mab3oos said...

za3tar,
Moey's blog is dead to me! :)

Yameen said...

absar sho 3am biseer with moey, he's there, blogging and not blogging at the same time. kan yi3mel action fi 7ayati lol...

Marvin the Martian said...

Yeah, Bella is still around in some form or another. She's changed her blog so many times (she was being stalked) that I can't even remember what the current URL is. I always liked her writing.

Q is still rambunctious in most areas, where his wife allows him to be rambunctious. ;-)

Tinkerbella said...

There's no "C" in Tinkerbella ya mab3oos!

I closed my old blog, and started a new one but was advised to delete that entire wordpress/google account, so I started a 3rd one with a new account. It's mostly academic based, and I update very infrequently as I am so busy these days since it's the last few months (fingers crossed!).

Plus, blogging isn't as fun as it used to be with all the mentally deranged people hanging around here, trying to pass off as a normal person.. so I'm not hanging around the Arab blogs anymore, the proportion of weirdos is definitely higher here!

But your blog and a few others are still on my reader and I still read them. So you missed me huh... guess I was right, you ARE becoming a nicer person :D

mab3oos said...

yameen, what kind of action?!!

Marvin, she's like Bart Simpson locked up in a candy shop: Sugar is gone...tfu...Sugar is gone...tfu...sugar....

Ahlan, Ahlan, Ahlan Sit Tinkerbella,
first let me apologize for the unintended C in the post. the weather has been crazy up and down and all I saw were C's.(as in Celsius!)
Second, you could have at least left a URL so I can stalk you and see what kind of Academic writing you have. I can be very akadamiki sometimes.
Third, stop by more often. mab3oos's blog has always been a satisfaction guaranteed experience. We strive to be the bestest and welcomest!
