regarding the new aff blogging system.

  

I thought I'd gone cuckoo now.  LOL. I'm serious! HAHAHAHAHAH XDD It's because of the new blogging system where you cant receive the notifications of the latest blog post. >_< I dubbed it as the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IN AFF. The truth is, because I so object with that new feature, I tweeted, MR. Mod. So here's our convo.

 - Hi. Good day. I’m sorry for being random. I just want to say that I like the old blogging system at AFF. Because, I personally think that the blog post helps you connect with your AFF friends despite of not sending wall post to them. And now, because of the subscription stuff, I think it won’t be the same anymore. :( I like it when I open my AFF account to see new blog post notification, and now, without that (well, I know you can subscribe to other people, still… I find it time consuming if you have a thousands of friends to subscribe to.) I feel AFF is quiet and sort of different. So I hope you’ll consider this tweet. *Crosses finger.* Thank you. BTW, I like the idea of, you can view the people who subscribe to you. I hope you can put that option onto those people who are subscribed to you as author. Once again, thank you very much and good day. :) (I hope you'll read this tweet.) (x)

 I'll look into it. I had a lot more complaining about friends who posted senseless spam posts but didn't want to unfriend. (x)

 - Er. I sort of expect that that's the reason why you implemented the new feature update. But users can always turn off the notifications about that, right? So, how about they just do that? Besides, a blog post is an online journal. You can post anything even though the content is really senseless. Or they could just unfriend them. That's all. I'm sorry, if I sound too pushy. I just, honestly, like and prefer the old one. So I really hope, you'd consider that. Thanks again. (x)

@cutterpillow92 you're not looking at it from their perspective and the needs of other people. Regardless, I'm working on it. (x

 -- well, truthfully, it's not just me. I saw some AFF users talk about the new blogging system as well and they have the same concern. Anyway, thank you for considering this. (x)

 I know. People are always resistant to change though and I factor that in. People were against PMs in the beginning too. (x)

 

AFF latest tweet: I managed to create separate alerts for friends' blogs. It's a long (technical) story why it was taken out in the 1st place. It just takes a really long time to make 1 new alert so I simply switched the subscription alerts for the friend blog alerts. Hope it helps you guys.(x)

 

 so does it mean that we're able to receive new-blogpost-notification from friends again? :D Thank you! :) (x)

 Yes. It took a long time. (x)

 Thank you for hearing out our concerns, it means a lot to me (and to others). Have a good day, and more powers. (x)


Thank heavens! This issue has been fix. Or else, I'll...

A. I'm planning to leave this site. Bcoz really, the stillness is making me crazy. Our house is already quiet, and then AFF (is my 2nd home) what whould happen to me if I lack social interaction?

B. Ask for your help to sign a petition to return back the old blog system. 


Generally speaking. 

Okay, for those who hates receiving such notifications on blog. You can always turn off the preferences on your profile or yeah, if you really can't take it, just unfriend that person!

What's the point of adding friends if you can't stand their rants, even if it's the most senseless thing ever? Oh wait. I don't think you fit the word friend if you act like that!

If it's me that you don't like, well, feel free to unfriend me. I wouldn't mind. It'll be better for the both of us, and definitely it'll end your suffering. 

I'm done ranting now!

Omg~! I was wondering why I stopped getting your blog posts..
And I agree with you. Blogs are used as a journal, so why would they even friend you if they didnt care?
And they could just ignore the notification...
