For Better or For Worse

The marriage vow: "from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health...I pledge you my faithfulness." is about sticking through everything, the good and the bad. It's about inevitable change.

Unless someone finds them self "in sickness", poor, and pretty much at the worst part of their life, people hate change. They scream and pull their hair out trying the get used to the adjustment. The major changes stardoll did in 2010 were no different. The site we were used to had been flipped around, and just wasn't the same. But after a few months everyone got used to it. And come on, if the site never changed, it would still look like this:

(look: only 29,595 members!)

  The site would still be solely about celebrities & paper dolls. How long would a site like that keep your attention? A couple days? Months? Certainly not years. Look at the tabs, there wasn't even a store. It took a few million members later for that to happen:

(February 2007)

I joined a month after the print screen above, being member number 6,079,733. It was fun for a while, but I didn't keep any vow of sticking around. It wasn't until the summer of 2007 that things got interesting. That's when clubs were created:

Clubs brought Stardoll into the realm of social networking. It connected people with joint interests from all around the world. I think that is what stardoll is about now. It's why you're here reading this. Because we have similar interests, and somehow in this world of billions, we are able to communicate.

Looking back, I think we're all thankful we've stuck with stardoll through the change. But what about other changes? A recent post on "The Antagonist Of Stardoll" brought up the question: Is MDM going downhill? As seen in comments, many people believe it is. Complains about posts being few and far between and not up to their previous standards of when Noelle was the owner are common occurrences. When it comes time to point fingers they always goes to Aislin and Dei. Why? I mean they took responsibility for this blog. They kept it alive.

Do you know why you can't find a new post everyday? Because in actuality there are only 4 writers on this blog. The plethora of writers left by Noelle who either never posted, or posted junk were all removed from this blog. This is why we went in search of new writers. Well where are they? They're waiting, preparing, hoping to please you. We do, believe it or not, work to please our readers. However most readers are just waiting to pounce on the names of the new writers. That is why we are posting their work without their names. This blog should be about the writing, not about the names. Because of this the new writers haven't been added to the blog yet. So this leaves a big lapse for me, Maggie, Aislin and Dei to fill.

Maybe this blog is in it's "for worse"stage, but the question is, will you stay faithful? Will you stick with us while we work to make this blog the best that it can be? We're in a period of change. If you think we're going down hill, then I just have one thing to tell you: Once you get to the bottom of a hill, there's nowhere to go but up.
