  • I’ve been pondering (while sitting on the headstone in the post below) the establishment of a Blog Cemetery for dead Xanga blogs. If nothing else, it would help keep track of who’s no longer who (and perhaps how and why). I’m not sure if it would be entirely Xanga-contained or have a front-end on my notforprophet.us site. The idea would be to record departings, allow for commentual observances thereupon, and solicit from the surviving further candidates for inclusion or re-categorization.

     

    I’ve briefly pondered qualifying categories (sections) for inclusion. Here’s what I’ve brainstormed so far:

     

    Apparently actually deceased

     

    eg.  Wildheart

     

    Executed (Terms of Service violations)

     

    eg.  Bianca

     

    Self-terminated

     

    eg.  EasterEgg, teeking

     

    Virtually deceased (hasn’t published or been noticed around in last 6 months)

     

    eg.  mejane

     

    Virtually deceased or self-terminated but now resurrected (resurrections featured for one month only)

     

    eg. buffalo

     

    Reincarnated (blog’s inactive but linked to a Xanga rebirth elsewhere)

     

    eg.  agrochick78

     

    Are there any other categories?

     

    Okay. And to get started I’ll need RIP-ped candidates. Who would you like to see remembered in Xanga’s Blog Cemetery?

     

     Oh yeah...And anyone commenting that I've too much time on my hands or have been spending too much time lately hanging around the cemetery (Dreamland) instantly qualifies for inclusion in a section I'll call the Living Dead.
