When Active Rain has a "wild turkey" or two running around the server room, when there are changes made to the user interface or the introduction of new functionality, dozens of posts immediately appear asking "what is going on?"

The solution to knowing what is happening with our beloved social network is to subscribe to Bob Stewart, Brad Andersohn and Rich Jacobson's blogs.  Whenever the system has gone down or a change is coming these three guys are the ones in the know.  They are other great folks on the Active Rain team that we don't hear from often but I know when it comes to what is happening Bob, Brad and Rich keep us informed.

So hit your subscribe button and wait for the updates.  You'll be in the know and possibly save yourself muttering the seven words you can't say on TV or on AR!

Yep.  I have Active Brad on my subscriber list and immediately read his stuff as soon as it bubbles to the top.  That being said, there should be a way for AR to send out a blast (yeah, I know, 122,000 and growing) to give people a heads up.  There are lots of people who don't read you or the AR community honchos that just get miffed or confused or both.

Ken-I'm not sure how you blast out an email to 125,000 plus people without jamming up the servers even more than they already are.  What do you mean they don't all read my blog?  Snicker-Snicker!

Erica-I'm just afraid there are way to many members of AR and even worse way to many that signed up and no longer are active with bad email address.  Can you imagine 10,000 bounced emails coming back to the server!

That's a good excuse for AR to delete inactive subscribers! Anyone who doesn't log in for x months (3 or 6 or 9???) should be sent an email to keep their account active, perhaps? If they don't reply in 7 days their profile/account will be deleted?

Erica-I'll leave that decision up to the AR powers to decide.  I'm sure they are already thinking about ways to clear out the servers.  As long as it isn't our posts!

Brad-yes George did come up with those words that we can't repeat even on AR :-) My years in the tech industry made me realize that the bugs (or turkeys) that invade servers and software are just part of the business.  Though the techies did not like my idea of sending out fly swatters with each release that said "to help you swat the bugs in this release."  No sense of humor.

It's not near as much fun for people to simply subscribe to a blog and wait for the answer. Where's the 225 points in that? LOL
