OK, I'm asking the question and I'm fairly sure there will be a howl of protest because some folks will be disconcerted that the question has been asked; but sometimes a question has to be asked:- Is Oldhammer dying? I'm not asking because of any animosity towards the Oldhammer ethos or any of its 'Leading Lights', but I'm concerned.
Relatively speak, I've recently started a Blog and thus started surfing other blogs to see what's happening out on the web and to be honest found - not a lot to be singing about, apart from either some dissatisfaction or 'old-hands' resting on their laurels - As Their not posting anything on a regular basis, either on their Blogs or the Forum! If, they've moved their activity elsewhere - why am I not seeing or hearing anything about it? Or have they settled into a safe routine, within a 'safe' little circle of friends and their content with their lot; or have they found other things to occupy their time - Family, work or did they consider they'd done their bit, or found the Forum too hard an audience, as they'd be called to back-up their statements with reasoned conversation.
Now, don't get me wrong Oldhammer is alive and well in certain corners of the Web and being well publicized by the like of Asslessman, Zhu and Airbornegrove stories of daring do are being crafted and dice rolled, with the rise of heroes and villians.
So here's to a great howl of protest to see if anybody's paying attention?
Is oldhammer dying? I don’t think so. Maybe since things are opening up postCovid many people are enjoying other activities that haven’t been able to for awhile?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a drying up of content on blogs. But that being said, I am just as guilty of not updating mine for months sometimes.
I posted this question to the Forum, most of the responces there have been pretty much along the same lines - diversification into other media's and people generally going off and doing their own thing and not telling anybody what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this is just change as we come out of lock-down, time will tell.
