New WP "End Of The Road" By Brent

Well Wallpaper Fans and Blogger Buddies, no..no..no..wait a minute, that is not the way this should start off, for after all it is so many of You Wallpaper Fans that have brought this Blog to the end of the road and You made that perfectly clear by the lack of any kind of your actions this last week showing me that you could give a rats ass if this Blog continues on or not, yet you keep coming back day after day and just keep downloading wall after wall with out saying a word!!!  Well that has coming to an END has of Yesterday!  So let me start over...

Dear Blogger Buddies and For those that have shared Your Love and Support to this Blog over the last 5 months, I just wanted to make it perfectly clear to ALL OF YOU why this Blog has reached the end of the road as we all have known it and that is ONLY because for the major lack of any kind of support from the majority of those Visiting this Blog to cheer those that have shared now 100 Walls onward and upward!!! And to help you understand what I'm trying to say, I went through all the posting yesterday and tallied up the total number of votes on each posting and then went through all my daily download reports and tallied up the total number of downloads and it is even worse than I thought it was.  For out of the 100 Walls posted here, there were only a total of 1,581 Votes, 1509 for {Love It & Thanks},  51 for {It's Ok I Saved It} and {21} for {Sorry-Not For Me}!  Which may sound like a lot but it boils down to out of the 12,089 Hits this Blog received through yesterday only 13% are showing any kind of support!!!  But even worse yet is when I saw that there have been a total of 169,343 Walls Downloaded, 93,196 for Standard Size and 76,147 for Wide Screen which boils down to only 7% are saying thanks!!!

And while there are some that couldn't care less about the voting that are sharing their work here like HJ, well that is only because he is a seasoned veteran at creating Walls, but for those that are just getting started creating Walls and sharing them, well that it a whole different story for them, for they are of great importance to them for they see each vote has a validation of not only their work they are sharing, but if they are on the right track or not of what they are creating and sharing!!!  I know for a fact when I first starting sharing my walls on Wallpaper-Hunkz Yahoo Group five years ago that I was so afraid that no one would like what I was sharing, but thanks to Wes the moderator of the Group that made me feel most welcome and he continued encouraging me on even when I was sharing some really crappy walls!!  And here I am today with 1,532 Wallpapers shared so far with over 28 Million downloaded and like HJ, I really never cared how many votes I got on my Blog, which is somewhat of the cause of the problem here, for many of who are visiting here are also My Personal Blog Fans that have been downloading for years without voting!!!

And just one more thing before I announce my decision about this Blog and this is something NONE of You know about and that is how many new wallpaper makers I have been working with over the past five months and there have been dozens.  A lot of them wanting to make that special Wall for their boyfriend for his birthday, or a partner for their anniversary and yes, I was more than glad to help them out.  And while I totally understand that they wouldn't want to share that type of Wall here on this Blog, but when I asked them if they have created any other walls and would you please share them, I basically got the same response and that was, "Yes I have but I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that no will like what I have created and I won't get any votes"  So Guys, not only was the lack of your voting that brought this Blog to the end of the road, but it also just maybe prevented other new wallpaper makers from sharing what they are/were creating!!!  Just thought you might like to know!

And with all this said and sorry for being so long winded, but just felt all of you should know what was on my mind and why we are here this day!!!  Which is "What I'm Going To Do With This Blog?" Well as I see things I have (3) choices...

Choice One: Make it a private Blog by invitation only to those that I know that will support it. However there are two problems with this choice and they are that private Google Blogs only allows 100 invited readers and they must have a Google Account and since there are a couple that have been sharing here that don't have a Google Account I don't think this choice is all that doable!

Choice Two: Leave the Blog Up and Running and just stop posting to it or take a break from posting to it for awhile.

And Choice Three: Just complete delete the Blog all together in a week or so giving everyone some time to download anything that they may want that they haven't already downloaded.

Well Guys, I decided to go with choice two....

For after all there is a lot of good information here for anyone that is wanting to know about creating their first wallpaper along with the 100 Walls now here like MrUnKown pointed out and their is of course the possibility that someone hasn't seen this Blog yet! And besides this, what a perfect way to show everyone that is visiting this Blog in the future that if ONLY each visitor would have at least voted once then they still could have been the possibility they would be able to have something new to download and enjoy on their Desktop(s)!!!  So I'm just going to take a break, a very long break and give all of you some time to think about what I have just shared with you.  And if I figure something out where as I can start posting once again and block anything from being downloaded without voting first then I will get e-mails out to all those that have been sharing your work here. OK? OK. With Love and Hugs and Take Care.
