A scary thing just happened. I logged on and couldn’t get into my page. I could only go to my New Page, whatever that’s supposed to be. The only way they said I could get to my old page was to click on “add stuff.”
Yeah, right, like I’m gonna fall for that. So I closed Xanga and started all over, praying I could get here, now that I’ve gotten pulled in again. They probably track you and if you post a certain number of times in a row, or maybe it’s about how many times you log in, but they figure out when you’re hooked and then route you through some site because they want something, and it’s either money or information. Probably both.
I can barely keep up with the new stuff, already. And I appreciate your help with the lingo and what it all means. But this new, more blatant move is alarming. I wonder if there is a better place for writers and readers of a particular ilk?
But I like it here. We have history. Shit, It’s been three years, going on four.

HA!!! See my post on this EXACT SAME TOPIC. I freaking HATE all the new stuff. Too much work. Freaky. Creepy. I might have to leave Xanga, after all this time.
yes! I just went down the avenue to argue for a TRUE spot. I love it here….we’re amongst friends!
I guess they have to make you to click certain feature:)
I just realized that you can now see who is currently online. The stalkers will love this feature . . .
@grievous_angel - you can turn that off if you like
i don’t really understand what happened. does that mean that you went to your new private page? you can always go back to your old desktop if you like. but i’m not sure what you’re talking about… sorry!
I so totally agree about the new xanga!!! So, when you find that “better place for writers and readers of a particular ilk” — please let me know! I might wanna join you.
…we have history ; )
I’m with you- could they just stop with all this new stuff and now everyone can tell when I’m on or not?! Huh?~ I lik my old Xanga just fine. Some of the features that are new are nice tho.
