Can I have everyone's attention for a minute? I promise it is worth your time.

I am not trying to be the bad guy. Im really not. But this problem is getting wy out of hand, and I've tried to be quiet about it but I cant handle it anymore. The reason I have this blog posted under every possible topic is becuase I do not want it to get lost in the shuffle because it is on a topic that affects everyone using this site. The problem is that a lot of people are over-blogging on here. People who have several entries a day dont bother me if they are legitimate entires; I am not going to give a definition of a legitimate entry, because its not worth debating. But what I cant stand is when people, I am not going to say names, post like 20 blogs in a row (okay that is somewhat exagerated, but you get the point). And if these were 20 legitimate blogs, that would okay too. But, they are usually not. They are ridiculous blogs that have nothing to do with the topics on this site. I know you can technically write about anything you want, but in some cases, blogs are getting to the point where it looks like something bloggers should be posting on their My Space rather than on here. I know almost everyone is blogging for scholarship money, heck I am too; Im not gonna lie. But the point of this site is also to discuss politics and real world issues and to be informed.

I am just starting to feel like people post just to get the 50 pts out of the post rather than actually have people read their stuff and give postive feedback or spur debate. If all you want is the scholarship and you are not here for discussion or a learning experience at all, I would be happy to point you in the direction of as many other scholarships as I can, because personally, although I would love to get a scholarship off of this site, that is not entirely why I am here, and I hope its not the reason others are either. To be blunt, its pointless for me to even post this, because almsot everytime I post anymore my posts get lost in the shuffle; the only way they ever get read is the time period they are in the recent posts box (or if they are chosen for the front page). But if the recent posts box is all from the same user, it is hard for anyone else to get reads either, and it is frequently like this. I am not adressing this soley for my sake, but also for the sake of other bloggers posts who are getting lost in the shuffle. For some people, this is not an issue because they were widely enough read before this problem started that they have a lot of people who subscribe to their blog, but for a lot of other people it is a problem. All I am asking is for bloggers to have some integrity.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Sorry for making a big deal out of this, but I could not take it anymore. IF you completely disagree with me than I have no problem with you saying so, but I would also hope there are others who share my view on this subject.
