Cool, thank you -- followed both!

#917 by: Themis-Athena's Garden of Books date: 6 years ago discussions stats

Found two in turn:

http://jnmegan.booklikes.com/
http://becky1.booklikes.com/

ETA: The second profile in particular is a prime example of everything that's wrong with BookLikes's social features (currently again aggravated by lack of any admin oversight): "Following" some 20+ people, almost all of whom haven't been active in years; and literally 1000s of "followers", the vast majority aren't active any longer, either ... and many of the more recent ones are spam accounts.

She probably thinks the site is dying, and if she does, who could blame her?!

Followed both, too.

Thank you both. And @Char, let's hope so!

I followed them both too. And posted a comment on the first one's review of the 24 hour bookstore.

Thanks, MbD. I hope both of them have notifications turned on so they see the activity ...

Last post from October 2018 -- I hope (s)he hasn't given up on BL in the interim.

Ditto what TA said - I'm already following, and I'm excited to see he/she is jumping right into discussions. :)

#931 by: Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality! date: 6 years ago discussions stats

Followed. Thanks!!

Two more:

http://maverynthia.booklikes.com/
http://fangsforthefantasy.booklikes.com/blog

(Both also examples of the probable "why are all my followers either dead or spammers?" syndrome.)

I was following Fangs (I'm pretty sure they came here when amazon took over goodreads like many of us so very possibly not a new member -- I didn't look to see how many of their 900+ followers were dead or spammers).

I did follow maverynthia as was new to me, but looks like here at least long enough to have had a 2017 reading challenge. Didn't check their 1000+ followers to see if active/inactive/spam.
