Not that it matters, but when I got up this morning and did a brief look-see at my blog I noticed something strange with the TTLB ranking.
I took a gander at my stats and they were in half. IN HALF. How’d they get cut in HALF overnight?
Of course, I don’t really care, but WHAT HAPPENED?
Last night there had been a few comments left on this post that I deleted. There were a dozen or so of them. They said things like ‘eat sh*t’. I thought they were awfully clever in the way they phrased their displeasure with what I had written. And Lord knows, I believe in free speech. But all the same, I deleted them. It’s my blog and I can.
Did the little not-so-clever commenters delink half my links? Surely if they were smart enough to do that they would have been smart enough to come up with some kind of retort other than, ‘eat sh*t’.
Anyway, I’ve been cut down to half.
Not that it matters.
It really doesn’t, honest it doesn’t. I could care less. My life doesn’t revolve around TTBL rankings and that sort of thing. It just doesn’t matter at all. Not a bit. Really.
So on to good news.
I joined the Hillbilly Ecosystem. Now, I have to say, that is undoubtedly the friendliest group of people I’ve ever met in the blog world. They are just down home and friendly. I’m sure they’re so friendly cause they are thrilled to have me as a member and has nothing to do with the fact that they are all lickered up most of the time.
I was hoping to be a mill manager or a supervisor in the Hillbilly Ecosystem. But now that I’ve been demoted in the TTBL system I may or may not qualify. I really don’t want to be a welfare queen. That was really bad timing to get so many de-links. Maybe N.Z. Bear knew I joined the Hillbilly Ecosystem and is afraid of the competition and that’s why he cut my links in half??? Well, quit looking at me like that - it’s possible!
Not that it matters.
If you go over to the Hillbilly Ecosystem, say ‘hey’ to Lemuel (I affectionately call him Lee Mule. I don’t think he thinks it’s funny, but he hasn’t hit me up side the head with an iron skillet yet).
If ya sign up for the Ecosystem, you get your very own highway sign with only about 10 or so bullet holes in it. Those are right good for target practice - as -  you - know. You also get on his list to get all kinds of messing with from a bunch of heavily armed lickered up hillbillies.
Like Lemuel says, we’re all heavily armed because we’re - well - hillbillies.
Take a fishin pole and baccy and set u’r mind to sat a spell cause he does lack to jabber.
You’ll get to hang with the lacks of some right passable hillbillies. Like Lemuel says, looks like they can read and write pretty good.
That’s the silver lining in the de-linking black cloud.
Now, shoe …..  go on with ya …. I got to go to the dollar general ’n get me some duck tape and see if I caint get this ecosystem thang fixed four it gets any worst.

Hmm… sounds like an outbreak of Internet Trolls. Might need to pick up some raid while your out at the dollar store. Get the roach killer, them trolls are a right hardy bunch. Might need to spray ‘em two or three times ‘fore they get the hint.
Trolls can be a good sign though. Means your on the right track. If everybody liked ya, well… means you too busy being nice to stand for anything.

I had the same problem with the ecosystem. Went from over 430 links to 193 overnight. Amazing… I’m sure NZ is doing some code tweaking or something.

Mine went from #180 to #99, over night, and here I was thinking it was a good thing…
But I can’t seem to get linked on the Blue Star Roll for some reason…
I think she hates me…
April 24th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
NO! I don’t hate you at all! I’ve been ….. I’m trying to think of an excuse …. I think I’ll just have to admit that I’ve just been lazy about getting emails checked lately.
I’ll get that done ASAP.
So I’m not the only one who had a drastic drop in links?
April 24th, 2006 at 3:55 pm
PS. I’ll link y’all if y’all link me - I’m adding all of you to my blogroll (my own blogroll) - reciprocate?
(don’t let NZ Bear see this he might count off for it

Not that I care of course

Beth,
You are not the only one. The same thing happened to me yesterday, and I was flabbergasted! I emailed the helpdesk, and they are still to get back to me. I think this must be some general problem… I hope they do sort it out because I enjoyed tracking the TTLB rankings!!
Regards
Nordish

I hate to say this but I gained about 100 links overnight. I guess now you know where yours went to.
April 24th, 2006 at 5:17 pm
Me too Nordish! Obviously it’s across the board.

Damn you hillbilly!
