I've been away from the blogging world for a while and thought I'd check out the latest and greatest from Yakezie and the forums. I'm surprised to see how dead it is. Only 2 topics with the "Last Post" in August? Only 3 in July?
I know it's summer and all, but where is everyone? It used to be a little more lively. Is something wrong with how my computer is viewing the forums?

I've been wondering about that too. I make it a habit to stop by once a week or so to see what's happening, and it's been kinda dead this summer. I don't think there's anything wrong with your computer :-)

I went a bit further back and it looks like this topic came up last fall too:
http://yakezie.com/forums/blog…..hese-days/
Many folks thought there were just natural ebbs and flows in forum activity and, if that's the case, it's really ebbing now. That's a bummer too. I am just getting back into the swing of things with my site after a (really long) break. In a way, I am kind of back at ground zero and was looking forward to lean on the forum and members as I try to gain some momentum.

The day Matt cuts said blogging networks were bad, I guess that day Yakezie lost its significance for many. Just my guess that is.
I do stop by every now and then for interesting topics. It was much more than blogging networks once. But sad its on a life support. Still this can be a good forum for interchanging ideas, seeking advice. getting to know each others, etc.

I must've missed that announcement. Surely Cutts was meaning spammy type blog networks, not "professional" ones like Yakezie, right?

Even if "blog networks" are a bad thing… a forum for bloggers to exchange ideas and learn has to be a good thing.
I know that my site is better because of suggestions that I have received here. It is really a bummer that things have gotten so stale here. I haven't found any other blogger community to fill the void left by yakezie.

I agree, Michael. I'm still scratching my head a bit. Google and Matt Cutts coming out against suspicious blog networks and spammy guest posting does not seem like it would be enough to decimate a site/network like Yakezie. Seems like something else going on…even if many of the established bloggers are too busy to drop by these days you'd think there would still be quite a few journeymen and newbies around.
It feels like I've stumbled upon the Lost Colony of Roanoke!

Well as one of the aforementioned newbies, I definitely check in every few days, but I've been a little disappointed that there isn't more activity. I'll keep coming back though, as I'm don't want to miss any opportunities to learn.

It is amazing how dead it is in here now…compared to what it used to be. I still check in every so often but I dont see many new and interesting posts anymore.
Perhaps someone, or Sam, should start up a new refreshed community to stoke the fires a bit.
