pandamoneum -
almost a year for me -
I've been here for about a year and a half, I think. It's been a lot of up and down, but I get a little traffic and have a lot of fun, most of the time, which is about all that I was looking to get out of the place.-
Eek! I just realized it's been two and a half years.
-
Ha! -
Don't laugh - you were here then, too!
-
I hadn't deluded myself to that horror
-
-
Total distraction -
I have been here a couple of months and I have met some nice people and talented bloggers here. -
Welcome.Been here 18 months and BC can be compared to
1. a market where some are trying to sell you something,look out for affiliate marketeers, adsense etc...
2. a psychology clinic - where advice is given for free - if you're not hung up on qualifications and degrees. However, there are bona vide professionals
3. Many professionals, like psychologists, MDs, lawyers,teachers, RNs, physios, naturopaths, OTs. You rarely see these active in discussions with a few exceptions.
4.Rants and Raves appear to be acceptable but there are limits.
5.Like TV, the following are regularly featured, drama, news, comedy and entertainment.
6.If you want to survive here, don't take things too seriously! Enjoy! I have made some good friends here (they don't do discussions anymore. In fact I have collaborated on projects with several people who I met on BC. My novel has been one project.
7. There have been BC members who threaten to leave, have left, left and returned, or have taken a leave of absence, the latter I do myself, when I have other commitments!
I don't usually do such a lengthy explanation. Don't know what came over me!! LOL-
@7: If I take a leave of absence, I usually just post it to my shoutbox so anyone who checks my page knows what's going on. Usually when I take a leave, it's for travel.

What is blogcatalog? -
2 1/2 years. I love blogcatalog-
@Theresa111 - Have you been here a year longer than me? Is that a lemon meringue?

Blog Catalog stole my wallet and put it in a weather balloon just for freaking publicity. Darn you BC. DARN YOUUUUUUUUU!!!! -
Blog Catalog is very good.
As a blogger, it gave me a fair bit of not only traffic, but QUALITY traffic, as in regular readers who left comments.
It's also a good place to ask questions, find tips and get feedback. I know I've found BC very helpful in many cases.
And as someone who enjoys message boards, I'd say BC's is one of the better ones I've posted on on a regular basis.
It has its ups and downs, but every forum does. But overall, there are enough members here to keep things lively and diverse, and at the same time, it is small enough that you get to know people on a more personal basis. -
Blog Catalog has indeed catalogued my blog. It didn't lie.-
LMFAOOOOO
-
Hey, you can't say that about a lot of places on-line. At least with BC you get truth in advertising!

It is like Facebook without the poking.
Well, sort of. -
Thanx for this quick reply everybody. It looks like it is a good place to make some nice friends. I will try to check your blogs as soon as I can.

No hurry - we're not going anywhere!

I've been here since August/September '09 and have made a lot of great friends! -
Heaven if you have of sense of humor, purgatory if you don't.-
are you calling me a liar? -
Is that a non sequitur or a bit of psychosis?
-
the non-sequithingy

It's is becoming more enjoyable by the moment -
Been good in every way. Enjoyable, stimulating, made lots of good friends, and it's useful for promoting my blog. I'm very indebted to this site.
Started in March 2009. -
Do you think mybloglog is also good like blogcatalog?
-
Of the various sites I have tried, BC has been the best. It is a great place for finding quality blogs without the nonsense. And...I like the way it's managed. -
I have a nice experience so far...i have lots of free time in the office and I love to read...so far i am enjoying what other blogger are writing.. -
It is one of the most prominent blog directories, so it makes a lot of sense to get yourself listed. -
Well I didn`t have a lot os success here, I think the design is not the better, and the promotion tools are not complete.
I`am here 3 months -
Since I've started participating in BC forums (just a week or so), I've seen a marked increase in traffic to my blog, and have received some very positive and encouraging feedback. You may take some good-natured razzing from other BC members, but almost everyone will offer advice if asked (and sometimes, even if not asked). The key, I think, is to make sure you weigh in on topics that have relevance to your blog...since mine is intended to be humorous, I mostly act like an ass about everything. -
I tend to think it's like most other online communities - you get out what you put in. -
Are there other sites for bloggers that offer similar discussion forums to this?
