Some QJ blogs going on hiatus

Posted Sep 8, 2008 at 7:00AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii, PS3, PSP, MMORPG, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: apple news

At QJ we're always trying to provide you guys with the best gaming and tech news from across the web in one easy to access place (with a touch of the ol' QJ wit of course). We're a community here at QJ and respect you folks far too much to half ass it or give anything less than 100%. It's because of this we've decided focus our coverage in a number of core areas and postpone our coverage in certain areas for the foreseeable future. The other blogs aren't going away so much as they're just going on hiatus, they could be back at some point in the future but only when we're 100% sure we can provide the level of quality you folks deserve.

That said, we're looking to redouble our efforts in the following areas and give you guys the latest news/rumors and info.

So what's still up and running?

PSPUpdates
QJ's PlayStation 3 Blog
QJ's Xbox 360 Blog
QJ's Wii Blog
QJ's Nintendo DS Blog
QJ's MMORPG Blog
QJ's *brand spanking new iPhone Blog*

What's on hiatus?

QJ's Gadgets Blog
QJ's Mobile Blog
QJ's PC Blog
QJ's Science Blog
QJ's Age of Conan Blog (AoC news will be covered on our MMORPG Blog)
QJ's World of Warcraft Blog (WoW news will be covered on our MMORPG Blog)
QJ's Apple Blog

Goodbyes are never easy, so we won't say goodbye to these blogs, just see ya around. I encourage everyone to keep an eye on the blogs we are focusing on though. We hope you guys'll understand this decision as it's not been an easy one to make, ultimately though we decided to focus on the quality of the content we provide and hope you'll continue to be a part of the QJ community, cus really you guys are what it's all about.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

QJ must be hurting for money then. If they lay off all those people who blog those sections they save a ton of money. PSPUpdates should have just stayed independent and not get bought up by QJ. I've been with PSPUpdates since day one when it was just a little blog on blogspot.com. I even signed up with the forums when they were finally up and running! I wish QJ would do something for us who have been around since the beginning.

Thanks for sticking with us from the beginning, that's truly awesome :)

I should state that this has little to do with money, and more to do with keeping up the quality of the content we provide.

# OK — Ivory_soul 2008-09-08 09:17

Well you never know. Sometimes companies won't "reveal the true reason" but if it's for quality than I'm all for it. This site is great and without PSPUpdates the homebrew scene never would have made it. I remember waiting for days, after getting my launch PSP, for the 1.50 homebrew program the Kswitch or something like that. I was so excited about that because the SNES emulator came out around the same time and I was blown away. I'll be sticking with PSPUpdates as long as this site is up. I've been here for 3 years and I hope things keep growing. I also used to work for this site as well, but for some reason I was afraid to put my humor in my entries and the boss (Jake I believe I don't know) said they weren't spunky enough for the site. I wish I could try again maybe a writer for the site who reads this and talk to the head guy about that.

# hmm.. — NeilR 2008-09-08 09:48

As was stated above, I did enjoy the science blog but I can live without.

On a related note, does this change mean we\'ll see new articles on weekends again? The last few have been dead; not even any QuickPeeks. :(

# good move — 73N5H1 2008-09-08 09:56

I'm happy about this move... I know for about a week there, PSP Updates was dead... nothing new at all and I was wondering what was going on... Maybe now the PSP Blog will be right on the edge of things instead of a few days behind.

# ... — Binary 2008-09-08 10:07

Nice move

now can you guys do something about the login to post comments.

Like the check-mark of remember me only hold like 1 day which it piss's me off.

# Poll — Ivory_soul 2008-09-08 10:11

What I'd like is a daily/weekly changing of the poll. That poll has been there for like 2 months I think the site devs forgot about that poll.

# That and — Binary 2008-09-08 10:13

they need better tech support and news tips system

# Keep the comments coming. — Chris C 2008-09-08 10:21

We're listening and definitely interested in feedback from you guys about what you want from us.

+1 # Blogging for QJ — Chris C 2008-09-08 10:26

Ivory_soul, you're right, Jake used to run editorial here at QJ, but he's since moved on to other projects, I've since taken over as senior editor.

With regards to writing for QJ, I'll say keep a weather eye open. ;)

# w00t — Binary 2008-09-08 10:30

finally somebody that is listening! anywho.

instead of stars on our comments how about Jumps? or youtube thumbs, the lowest thumbs, the comments hide.

Also Blog of Blogs Settings you gotta edit that as well for the new iphone section.

+1 # Meanwhile — UltimaXX 2008-09-08 10:48

I think it's time to remind people that the my.qj.net blog actually still exists. 0_o

# yeah... — Guest 2008-09-08 10:50

Coming from one of QJ.NET's resident geeks :-p it's also with a heavy heart that I have to see the Science blog go...

We'll miss you, Science blog! It's been a blast writing all those geeky posts! Hope we see you resurrected again in the future! No goodbyes... just "see ya 'round"s! Peace! ^_^V

# what?! — Dremth 2008-09-08 11:10

# ... — Silver-Tiger 2008-09-08 11:22

# come back science blog!!! — trigger 2008-09-08 12:04

maybe someone can create an online petition to get the science blog back? sniff... i miss the hadron collider updates already. and the mutant pigs. and dark matter. and martian asparagus. and polar bears. and mythbusters... T_T

i read a comment somewhere below about polls. maybe QJ can have a poll about which of the blogs in hiatus the readers want to see again?

# science!! — Jusor 2008-09-08 12:50

nooo.. now who's gonna tell me about the LHC.. or that tequila is being used as biofuels and giving balls to my home? no more am i able to learn about mars or that theres a monkey faced pig around the world anymore!! :( :( :( :( :(

# :o( — Matt-N 2008-09-08 12:50

It seems the Science Blog was very popular! I really enjoyed reading them articles.

I really hope it comes back soon.

# Hey that's a good idea. — UltimaArmorX 2008-09-08 12:57

I forgot all about it, I'm probably not the only one.

# Yup its that way for me too. — UltimaArmorX 2008-09-08 13:00

This can just be fixed with a modified QJ cookie though couldn't it? Bah.

# grr — Dremth 2008-09-08 13:19

The only thing you respect is Crapgle *****sense so you can afford your daily dose of cocaine. *****ing crackhead bastards.

# Science blog, Gadgets blog and PC blog, NOOOOO DON'T GO! — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2008-09-08 13:32

That sucks! I enjoyed the science blog, gadgets blog and the pc blog. There were some interesting things I liked to see on those. Hell I even from time to time liked to check out the mobile blog. I am very sad to see these go. I guess that's what happens if they don't get enough hits.

# Me Too :( — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2008-09-08 13:39

These are some of my favorite sites to go to. It's almost like a good friend saying there is no reason to live anymore and then going and committing suicide. ¦:(

# I Agree — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2008-09-08 13:44

Sometimes I like to see whats going on in the pc gaming world.

# What!? — RommelTJ 2008-09-08 14:24

I want the science blog back!!!!!

# Don't take out Science Blog! — PSPMAN90 2008-09-08 15:56

Why! take Science blog out?

Because there's no much people to write in it? or Because is dificult to find Info when you are just a Blogster and not a scientist?

Well we people, users of Qj.net don';t want Science blog out!

This wolrd counts with science to hope that we survive to ourselves,

Why don't make a Poll of what people want more to stay than take out everything?

If Qj do that readers would go elsewher...

So Please lets stick with Science Blog n_n"!

Thanks!

WHo is with me !?

Everybody!

c'mon

Don't dare to say We r geeks!

Becauuse if we are, you are just jelous of having such a great knowledge that probably doesn't have!

Thanls QJ!

SCience Go!

# good riddance — Koru-Kun 2008-09-08 17:05

i'm glad to see in particularly the science section being taken out. Lots of *non-science* related articles were being written in there anyways.

# What the ****. — xploren 2008-09-08 17:11

They leave on MMORPG and MyQJ but put down blogs much more important like Science and PC? This is just too much.

# makes me sad:( — kraft 2008-09-08 18:49

Aww man I loved the science blog

Now where will i go for the update when the LHC destroys the world:(

# yeah.. — Jusor 2008-09-08 20:07

why remove those important ones and keep those which are less important? (myqj, mmorpg)

damn +\ im gonna visit this site less now, seeing im usually here for the psp and science section.
