Fight For The Future

It's time to move on. Simple as that.

For those of you whom have looked at more than one post on this blog over the past few years, you've probably surmised a few key things. Firstly, dorkcollective may have started as such, but in no way has it been a "collective" since maybe its first month as a blog. Nothing against the other writers, but they've moved on to do other things and live separate lives, and that sort of pulls the rug out underneath any collectivity that people go for with this stuff. So the title, at least the title, had to change for this site to make any semblance of sense.

But that was just a jumping off point. The second thing you may have gleaned from this space over time was that it was sort of a dumping ground for other work that I was trying to do around the vast internets, and because of it, was never upheld to any standard of timing or responsibility. When the mood would tickle me, I would write something or, more accurately, migrate other things from other blogs over here. Since it was mainly for writing about games, and still probably is, this worked just fine. But I, like my errant "previous writers" have also moved on. There's a lot more to say and lot more to do these days, even though a lot of what you would find on here is probably going to be games related. But it can't --and won't-- be only that. While it seems pretty obvious from what I've just said that we won't be altering the course too much, the helm's going to turn a little bit more than it used to.

So here we are again at a kind of Post Zero. The old stuff will still be archived, the name might change again (I was thinking of "B Attacks," but I actually think that it would make a better name for a feminist gaming site. That is neither a joke or a dig at feminism), and things will be prettier when I can find time to make it that way. But the blog that we originally tried to create so many years ago about three people posting games, beer, and other whatnot had its impetus in personal growth. That won't change. This site needed more than a shot in the arm, it needed to be absolutely resuscitated. It needed something.

So let's do something, yeah?
