As you are well aware, BlogExplosion site has been neglected for quite some time. The forums have been overrun by spammers. Support tickets go unanswered. The site appears to be on autopilot just waiting to run out of gas. It’s time to change all that so we, the BlogExplosion community, need your help.

Can you spare $0.42 (one stamp) in an attempt to improve BlogExplosion.com?

A group of users are joining together to send snail mail letters to BE’s current owners (LiveUniverse). The purpose is to request that they at the very least appoint new volunteer mods to help clean up certain issues. We know it might not work but other than a few stamps, what do we have to lose?

We are posting a form letter along with a list of addresses of LiveUniverse employees. Print a copy of the form letter (below). Pick an employee address block (or two or three or all) and send out the letter on Feb 20th.

Take it one step further… Before we mail these puppies out, tweet about it, put something on your MySpace or FaceBook account about it. Digg it. Spread the word to others everyone you know who benefits from BlogExplosion.

If we fail, at least we know we tried.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The crew helping out in the forums:
amyaurora, Anji, BluegrassBloggo, Kelson, lando411, McSpazz, MJTaylor, slightlydrunk, thewatchlist

So, here are the gory detials:

Check the BE forums “Changes at BlogExplosion” for updates or to post your own suggestions. I’ll update this page but the forums will contain much more information.

Here is a copy of the letter we are planning to send out. Use this one or write your own. It doesn’t matter so long as you send them something. Clicking here should allow you to open or save a rich text format of the letter. A visible “copy and paste” version is available in the forums.

Last but not least, here is the working list of LiveUniverse Inc addresses we are using:

Speaking of Jesus and Rockets and kicking ass, someone on Ebay is selling a fantastic DOMA Astronaut Jesus Print. If you don’t know about DOMA and Astronaut Jesus, read the Bible. Oh yeah, and search online for the toys.

Since I’m stll temporarily swearing off ebay purchases I’d strongly suggest you buy this. If you don’t want it, buy and and then see if the seller will gift wrap it so you can send it to me.

That’s right… God decided to clip the fingernails that she had let grow to almost 3′ long over a 30-year hygiene-free stint. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Anyways, this creepy woman was ejected from a SUV, most likely because she was unable to fasten her seat belt. During the process of being thrown from the vehicle, her fingernails broke. She’s in serious condition, but I’m sure she’ll be able to lead a normal life once she heals up. Well, that is if she doesn’t go back to growing out her nails again.

For more info (and less swearing) check out the original article from FoxNews.

Oh, and I moved the comments too. Well, comment. Anyways, back to the show.

They take up space (on display of course) in different areas of the house. In the kitchen above my microwave I have a shelf where I keep all our spices and chunk of my “Plastic Jesus” collection. They aren’t all plastic and they aren’t all Jesus, which is why I tossed the quotes up in the sentence before.

The Flaming Lips cover is probably my favorite but since there has to be an original, then this must be it…
