Welcome, Game Fans!
We have been outed.
Those of you fellow bloggers inhabiting our little corner of the blogosphere may notice a few more hits and some new posters. With round three of layoffs at That Place, some of the players took it upon themselves to search for our blogs. Since we're all heavily interlinked, finding one finds them all.
A fine reminder that you may think what you post on your blog is just for you and your friends, but that's not the way it really works. The whole blog experiment is interesting in so many ways for me, not the least of which who ends up finding you and determining what that means to you as a blogger. Like I said many times, Tony's Rules (see link, also now in my blogroll) are helpful as a guideline, but there are lots of issues you have to work through on your own.
Title of this post from the innumerable signs we saw in Indy on race day that said, "Welcome, Race Fans!"

We used to have one of those "Welcome Race Fans" signs that we would hang on our fence when the Indy Cars were in town. I loved that sign.
I guess you caught us, posting on your sites! I had heard a lot about bloggin, but never took to it, until last week, so I am wading in slowly so as not to get shocked too much! Hope I didn't invade your blogoshpere (I know I can't say that) space! But maybe, since we have met waaaay back you will forgive my intrusion.
Well, my message here was to the other bloggers involved, not the readers. We can control the blogging, but we can't control the reading. When your space is not secure, when it's public, there can't be an intrusion. That's like breaking into a public park. Not possible. Anyway, no worries.
Over the years, I have met most of you and have even been honoured to have been included in a Chilli's Monday lunch not once, but twice. Which made my last visit all the more painful as we bypassed Chilli's and just went to the food court instead.
The games you created made me passionate about your world and as I learned more and more about the industry, I also learned how special you all really were. Each of you became the pinnacle of which to aspire.
In some small way, finding you now on the web has helped to ease the pain I feel each day as I see what has become of That Place. Without each of you to grace their halls, it truly has become a shadow of what once was.
While I still hold out hope that some past glory will resurface in those grace-ed halls, for now, I will content myself in knowing that what made that place special still exists - only now, I have to visit their Blogs to partake.
I guess you caught us, posting on your sites!
Well, once you actually post comments you're not exactly incognito. :)
I'm a pinnacle? Cool. I thought I was just a numb-nuts.
I wholeheartedly second Shocho's point that you should expect people to read your "diary" if you put it on the internet without password protection. D'oh!
So what did you Google for and through which site did y'all first track us down?
During The Race they hang the "Welcome Race Fans" sign over the Marion county jail.
You gotta love those wacky Hoosier law enforcement folk!!!
I got here through Evan and Brad. They have a lot to answer for.
wait...I couldn't figure out if it was appropriate to "wahh" you or not.
;)
