It looks like there's only a week left to go until the Xangapocalypse, so here's 3 things I'll miss most about this site.
Xanga Drama
Some loved it, some hated it. Put me in the "loved it" category. Xanga just seemed more alive when people were going at each other's throats and dragging the rest of the Xangasphere into it. One person would start shit, and then there would be a dozen posts responding to it, and then dozens more responding to those. Good times. Too bad DearRicky is probably dead by now.
Attention
Not going to lie, I'm an online attention whore. It was oodles of fun, especially in the Golden Age of Xanga when I could garner views in the thousands and I'd have pages of comments, and it gets pretty intoxicating. It's not often that you can reach so many readers and broadcast a message like that. Alas, those days are gone, and now I'd be lucky to crack 200 views and 5 comments. I find that, the less traffic I get, the less motivated I am to put out new content, and even then, it's not very motivated or inspired writing. I suppose this is what a performer feels like with a packed stadium vs rows of empty seats.
