still here but I stopped writing hubs. Not because of the changes but because, well, I think I lost my drive to write
Yes, I agree with you and Cagsil, when I first started it was popular, exciting and people wanted to learn, write, compete and most of all help each other. You guys made me WANT to be a better writer. Those charateristics have changed for me at least....not completely in a bad way, just a different way. Hopefully that makes sense
Hey Lady,
There are quite a few people who are still here, but many of them have been forced to expand their portfolios, by lessening their exposure to HP and increasing their writing in other places.
This isn't a bad thing, but it does require a change in time spent here. Many people have unpublished hub which they are moving to other place, but this takes time and energy. Not to mention, the Staff here was not kind at all to those who wanted to help HP regain it's previous position and power.
The successful money-makers went out of their way to try and help Staff right the sinking ship, but were shunned. That in and of itself was pathetic, considering before Panda, Staff was listening to the community as a whole and now don't give a damn what the community has to say.
As you can tell from my post, I am still here, but with a reduced portfolio, like many others. I am focusing on other things, but I am still writing here also. I have faith in people and I expect Staff, if they want to be successful, to fix the problem. It is a bit of a stretch, in some people's eyes, but that is just who I am.You're welcome. It's nice to see you floating about the forums. It's been a while. Hope you are well.
Cagsil, yes, I have not really been in the forums, not sure why, I guess just busy in life
You know how it is. Hope you are well, happy you are still here My best to you
Their frustration is understood, some experts say that the internet is recession free, however, that is not true, here in Ireland one of the biggest social networking sites, IrishBlogs.ie, has been inactive for over a month now, so the internet is not recession free, people need to keep their options open, have as many accounts as possibel right across the net then as one closes you can continue with others, I published a fairly decent Hub on social networking which should be read if you want to know how to survive in a depressed market

Exactly.. the last few months, I feel like I've been hung upside down on the merry-go-round, contracts keep coming in and I can't keep up with them. My visits have been down a bit here, but I don't know if that's because of a certain mischievous panda or not.
Still, I'll keep goin' at it.. hopefully we all see a major increase in views and earnings. I wish ya the best.. - Just remember to take time for yourself..
livewithrichard, thrilled you are still here too....but hopefully you will make more and more money
Glad to see your still around, you have been greatly missed.

Could the "questions" section of hubpages be dragging us down?
When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...
