Subscriptions – Who are you?
Do you have people on your subscription list – or people that have subscribed to you – and when you see their screen name you have no idea who they are or why you’re subscribed in the first place?
Or is it just me that does that?
Comments (14)
Maybe they changed their username?
But I have subbed to a few who I wonder how I subbed to.
@Dare2BDiferentt -
Yeah, there are a few of those, but there are also a few that I still can’t figure out how or why I know them!
I don’t recall that ever happening, but I do have a lot of people who have subscribed that do not post or participate (via comments) anymore….
lol hasn’t happened to me yet, but we’ll see. I’m sure it’s not completely uncommon.
Uh…who are you again? 8^)
@Singing4sDad -
Yeah, I was waiting for that one.

‘Tis sad how many people we’ve lost on Xanga. When I first got on here, I mostly chatted with people I knew. Now it’s mostly people I’ve never met in real life. Funny, I guess.
Yeah, sometimes I get comments on my blog and I have to actually go look at their page to try and remember who they were and what made me subscribe to them in the first place.
@SpiderDad - the migration to facebook is like lemmings over a cliff…one (younger) girl who subscribed to my site told me that she doesn’t read my site because I am “older”. Then why did she subscribe?
When she posted that she was getting a facebook I asked her why and she said, “I dono…ask my sister…”….lemmings. Lemmings I tell you.
haha, i know who all mine are…but that’s because im only subscribed to like…25 people.
thanks for the words of encouragement.
I used to know a lot of people only on Xanga. It was rough when I met them in real life because I was so used to knowing them by their Xanga names. Most of the people I knew on Xanga, I now also know on Facebook, and now that I’ve learned their real name, I can’t always remember their Xanga name anymore, especially the ones who went thru a couple of generations of Xanga ID’s.
i don’t have that many subscribers to get confused with
No, My problem is that I don’t post enough. I would like to start posting more but I don’t have enough xanga friends to make it worth it!
Yeah, I have a few of those. It’s not uncommon. I think I subbed to you because Evie recommended you or I saw you comment on her site. I go back and reread her Xanga when I’m missing her…
