And the point is........too short.........point taken Rob......

Points I don’t post for, that is just dumb,
write what I want, hope that it’s fun.
Things that suit one, will not suit another,
cannot please all, don’t even bother.

Comment or not, would be your own choice,
just read or ignore, no need to voice.
Opinions we have, advice and help too,
share if you like, that’s up to you.

All blogs are welcome, they make up this page,
some vent their anger, some vent their rage,
Some share their problems, hope they are few,
lots of us here, who will help you get through.

Replies they may vary, some are just rude,
but most are real nice, no need to be crude.
So enjoy the site, in however you may,
forget all the points, may you have a good day.

  1. Aww Scotty, that would be a real loss to the avid reader of the blogs, I love reading your blogs………please don’t let the points system defeat the objective……I personally do not believe anyone is posting more just for the points………so now my man, get that pen to paper and get your ass back in here…..you listening…….xx

  2. Hello Star my dear,
    one of your good thoughts again. But what do you think about this idea?

    The points should be given to blogs that collect the most of fun? Each reader can vote from one to three points.

    At this point I can imagine who the winner will be but I let the others vote also. xxxM

  3. starlette, brilliant blog. I don’t know how or why the point contest should hinder anyone. It may motivate some. So scotty, please explain your problem. I write blogs to share info I think is helpful and I try to write when there seems to be no blogs for a while. I don’t really understand the point system and see my name up with a 14 or 15 and usually 5 others with numbers 1 through 5. There is a glitch in there.
    I write blogs mostly because they have to be written before others have something to read.

    1. Well, Rose…………..let me explain. Sometimes I just feel like I’m writing too much personal information and most probably would’t be interested in my boring life………although there have been those funny and exciting moments. To tell you the honest truth, I really don’t have an explanation…….LOL…….I am glad though that Rob made it a point to the fact that blogs have to be ORIGINAL, and not copy and paste from the internet. Copying and pasting is not original………in any sense of the imagination. Maybe I’ll get back to some of my insane moments soon…….working on it. Thanks for you coment……….made me stop and think…………….I think!

      1. Scotty. Its up to you to post what you want. No one is forcing you to divulge personal information and I disagree that we ‘would’t be interested in your boring life…’
        😀

  4. Good post Star…but I find most blogs are boring now. We used to have fun on here , but the fun has gone. I personally think that to put us all into groups was a big mistake….just my opinion.

    1. Well Tania, like I tried to bring over in my little poem re blogs

      Some make you smile, some make you frown,
      some lift you up, some bring you down.
      What one will find funny, another will not,
      but hey there just blogs, who gives a jot…….

  5. The point incentive to me was to challenge more people to write, blog, post, etc. So that there would be more to read. And to give those who do a reward of lifetime membership. I am already a lifetime member, but I will post a little more than I normally would, I will read more posts and make comments, not for the membership, but if I was to earn it, I would give it to someone who would not be able to stay on here due to money issues. I am not doing it enough but having a good time reading more. With so many members, not everyone could be a winner, just enjoy and be good sports about it. It is hard to please everyone, with all new things, instead of seeing it as something bad, think of it as someone trying to do their best to get people involved.

  6. Dont know about others but I find Im spending more and more time here reading Blogs, Groups and other posts so it looks like the points system may be doing as was intended and bringing more people to these areas of the site. Boring or not, it works, so that has to be good…right? And I personally feel the original content is very good and would be giving the poster a little bit of a boost especially when others comment on it….:-)

    1. Faye, Im not really sure why some have made this into a big issue. I think its great to promote incentive to post more, and in fact I think it helps ‘us oldies’ to use our brains more to think of new subjects to blog about. And its not easy. So many topics have been covered. LOL 😀

  7. I may not be fat or neither be thin.
    But you only get out what you put in.

    …Great blog Star and all this competition stuff does my head in!
    I enjoy the site for what it is and like dipping in out in groups to see what others post. All very interesting or what?
