[quote=flu]I have a prediction. It’s a just a matter of time before a blog community blows up and people go on their way. It’s an evolution. People initially start on the same blog with the same interest, think the same. You get a few characters here and there that you scoff at routinely. They stop participating. Then without much to talk about, people start picking on each other, than someone gets pissed and steps away, then fewer and fewer people start picking on each other, eventually a forum is a ghosttown. I think the housing bubble has burst and it may very well take some of thesehousing bubble blogs too.

It’s the ciiiiiiiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiiiiiiiife.
Are we seeing Peak Bubble Blog? I’ve been posting in one place or another for over 10 years now and in my experience, very few forums endure more than a few cycles of exodus. I don’t know how it happens, but drama always seems to slowly overshadow actual content until the eventual, inevitable implosion.
