What Happened to BlogEvolve?

BlogEvolve is a community blogging site that has been around for several years.  In that time there has been some really good blogging and interaction on that site, but now it has pretty much been over-taken by the sploggers.

What is a splogger?  That word is a combination of 'spam' and 'blogger'.  Quite simply, a splogger is a person who continues to post garbage on a community blog.  They only post to fool search engines into increasing their exposure.  A splogger makes no effort to read what others post, or to interact with other bloggers.

BlogEvolve supposedly has an admin that should be doing something to control the splogging, but alas, the admin does not care enough to do anything, or even show up!

I have posted quite a bit on BlogEvolve, but in recent months, not so much.  As BlogEvolve prepares to go to hospice, there are two primary bloggers left and they are both fed up.

First, there is user Elly.  From the beginning, she has been the most faithful blogger and has written much.  Secondly, user huttriver has been faithful to keep blogging, but upon reaching 10,000 points, he intends to stop.

Here are the links:

Even though others are leaving, and there is the issue of the sploggers, you still might consider getting on there and seeing what it is like.
