Wow! When I started this blog, in September of 2009, I didn't know if anyone would stop by for a visit. Yesterday, the Gazette hit 200 followers and had 530 page-views! Thanks to all of you guys for following the Underdark Gazette, commenting, adding me to your blogrolls and for reading my posts! I hope you're having as much fun as I am!

ReplyDeleteHello Everybody and Thanks for your kind remarks!

This whole experience has been a blessing and I owe each and every one of you a Huge Thank You!

ReplyDeleteCongrats. I always enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a favorite blog, it would be yours. It is just so useful for anyone that even remotely likes old school games. :) Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is hard to get heard in a web of people yelling to "look at this".
ReplyDeleteHaving a single place with unbiased presentation of "this is what is out there" is very useful.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAhoy James, I first started reading these OSR blogs just less than a year ago, just before the "Porn will Destroy the OSR" weekend. And as all the shit was swirling around and I didn't know if I should care about "TARGA" or "Chgowiz" or "Maliscwhatever", you were saying (words to the effect of) "Look I'm doing this for me, and I'm doing this for the community. I'm not going to censor myself." End of story. And as the rest of the year has shaken out, I'm always looking out for the Underdark Gazette, because I know (or believe anyway), that there's a solid human being behind it doing his thing his way with the rest of us in mind. I appreciate that, a lot. And I admire that a great deal.
ReplyDeleteSo rock on Mr. Smith! I prescribe you blasting "When the Levee Breaks" as your OSR ovation!
@Spawn of Endra: What? What was this ""Porn will Destroy the OSR" weekend"?
ReplyDelete@James: You might want to post an up date to one of your old posts, as destination unknown is back up.
I agree with all the folks before me, this is a great blog, keep up the good writing and journalistic-type-coverage-of-what's-up sir!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, James! I sure appreciate all your hard work on the OSR news - it is a great service to the community. Here's to 300 followers and another great year!
ReplyDeleteNo, YOU are the man! Heh, thanks as always for doing the yeoman's work for the rest of us, keeping your finger on the pulse of the OSR!
ReplyDeleteThanks again everyone!
ReplyDelete@ C'nor - I posted a follow up when it came back, but I'll throw an edit on the original post. :)
@C'nor: As Gurdjieff might have put it, it was ultimately "a great pouring from the Empty into the Void".
ReplyDeleteJames congrats on 200! I'm sure 300 is not too far behind. You have a great blog and work hard at it and it shows. So thanks again for the work you put into it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim!
