This post just reflects the fact that the reasons for having this site have passed. What was a great, small, fairly global online community, with vibrant and often intense interactions, has now done its dash. Great memories and many fantastic connections. We miss you Mutley.

What was Blogpower?
Blogpower ...is so simple that Tim Worstall can't understand it. It was just a club of bloggers, at the time when having a blog was considered a good use of our time. At the time, there was a commitment to visit and promote each other's blogs.
"In fairness to Tim, I didn't get it either at first. I signed up because James asked me. But I have been pleasantly surprised at the sense of community that has developed in a very short time. I hope we can retain the essential simplicity of the idea and continue to help each other out." [Tom Paine]
What seemed important at the time has now changed. Many of us have evolved into Twitter and Facebook and other forms of social media. That said, it was fun.
This site is just an archive to reflect the grand idea that it was. Small bloggers supporting other small bloggers.

Don't forget your fellow BPers staged a bloody coup and ousted the founder ,James Higham, after all the effort,time and dedication he poured into this group which turned out to be nothing but a motley crew of corrupt evil backstabbers.
Knew you guys wouldn't last without him!
Good bloody riddance to the lot of you.
Oh put a sock in it Uber. You have no idea of what went on so stop blathering about it. It's more than 5 years past for crying out aloud. Go get a life!
Actually I know exactly what was going on within your nasty lil group{ I was dating Bagsrants at the time who kept me abreast]. I was simply saving you the trouble of eulogizing yourself ensuring your history stayed factual for posterity. After all, the ousting of James was about the only thing you guys actually "accomplished" wasn't it?
Laughs uproariously!
Just like the good old days.
Hello Ubermouth. Are you real? This is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oieFS785QPk
Well,here he comes right on time, Knight Colin Campbell. ..and making such a racket-as usual. :) Is that the BP theme song? I would have thought this would have been more apropos.

I see "Grandma" JMB believes in censorship now[except when it comes to enabling the lunatic rantings of her "grandson", Damien[who still bores me with 2,000 word letters*obsessives NEVER go away,the lil'herpes boil.]]
Given you now know who your BP mole was and how I was privy to every IM, thought, word you guys burped out, don't you think it awfully decent of your Yoko Ono not to have done more than stick the odd well-earned pin in your big,fat heads?
Truth be told, the BP behind-the-scenes doings were far too salacious and insidious for the delicate interwebs , I thought it best I 'defend the blogosphere' from you.
Just let me know of any other grouplings you may create/overtake online and I'll be there with my pin.
* Oh, and as I gave Bagsrants the elbow quite a time back now, you will have to let me know who you're plotting to murder directly ,saving us the usual 5 second relay delay.
JMB- I wouldn't laugh too maniacally, I now reside in your area and may hear you,following the breadrumb trail to your house and turn up for tea.
Good night everyone. It seems appropriate in a way to leave the last word to that person. Just sad. Get a life.
