400,000

Who knows, maybe GW will take the idea above and run with it...
400,000 hits and once again I've managed to get the next 100,000 in record time. There's not much I can say except as 'keeping score goes' it's always nice to see people coming along and enjoying the blog. It obviously takes a lot of time and effort, I spend far too much time writing than I probably should but it's the addiction that's compelling me to do so. Slightly better for me than Class A drugs though, but they're probably a cheaper alternative to plastic toy soldiers!

The blog is going nowhere, I'm not sure what I've got to feature over the next few months, I definitely have plans but I'd love to have that list of half a months scheduled blogposts like I used to, maybe I should just finish up the 22 posts I have in draft format! We'll get there, but best of all we'll get there together!

Thanks again to everyone who visits, you make it all worthwhile, although I'm sure at Wargamers Anonymous you'd be labelled 'enablers' but I appreciate you regardless.

  1. Quite like reading your blog. I've realised that I never comment on anyone's though, despite reading quite a few, so I've decided to start. Saying that, very few blogs get much in the way of comments, so it's not just me. But I do think we should all make more effort in that regard. Anyway, congrats on your 400k and ta for giving me something to distract me when I should be doing other things.

    1. Thanks, I think the probleme with commenting on blogs is that unlike a froum it's quite often difficult to remember whta you've said and it's not that easy to check back every blog to see if the blog owner has responded. Therefore overcoming that 'message in a bottle' concept is the first problem.

      Equally the blog owner should make an effort to respond to any and all comments. I try and always respond to comments [except the spam ones ;) ], even if it's just to say thanks or acknowledge someone spent time writing something. In fact I know I still need to respond to my mate Ben's post about ToS.

      I think if bloggers responded more then the readers know they can trust their comments are read and considered thus making the comment in the first place is worth the time and effort.

    2. Yeah, agree with all of that. I've diligently replied to all comments on my own. All 3. Hah.

      The 'notify me' thing doesn't work though, as far as I can tell, so I suppose there is the risk that bloggers will think nobody is reading their replies.

      Google should do something about it. Yes. I'm going to submit a suggestion, or something.
