It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update on here in the BUMPzee blog, and I’m sorry for that. Wordpress broke and I couldn’t post to the blog. I’ve upgraded it and am trying again… works? great!

A year ago, BUMPzee was a fun and, for me, a useful place to hang out. It was a thriving place for like-minded bloggers to stop by and share their blog posts. Since then, like all good things, spammers have move in. I shudder to think that the only ones getting any real use out of this platform these days *is* the spammers. I blame myself for not seeing it coming, preparing better, and putting a stop to it.

Bumpzee isn’t dead. But it’s got a terminal disease and we’re sort of putting it into a somewhat of a cryogenic state until we can find a cure for its chronic illness.

I’ve shut down some of the features that have been abused. We will no longer pull in ALL RSS feeds from all blogs. I’m also leaving the widgets off for now.

We’ve actually got some cool ideas that we think would be perfect for the great bloggers who fell in love with the initial Bumpzee and we’ll be looking at migrating bumpzee over to a new model in the next several months.

The way I see it, if we’re going to do something great with Bumpzee, we’ve got one more shot at it. So we’re not going to rush into anything at this point (why start now? ;))

Stay tuned.
