What is the future of weblogs.asp.net?

There has been some conversations going on about the future of weblogs.asp.net.  Roy Osherove also has some feedback on a post about CS 2.0 upgrades on this site. A lot of us started blogging here back when it was DotNetWeblogs and it was the place for .NET bloggers to post.  Then it became weblogs.asp.net and there seems to be a push for this to be an ASP.NET blog site.  There has also been some delay in upgrading to Community Server 2.0, possibly coinciding with a rebranding of some kind.

I know a lot of bloggers have left to other places such as GeeksWithBlogs.com and CodeBetter.com.  But before I pack up and move, is there any official word from whoever is in charge of this site now as to its future direction?

What are some of the other DotNetWeblogs bloggers doing?  Staying put or finding a new home?

  • The site will be upgraded to CS 2.0+ in the next couple weeks. Blogging guidelines for bloggers and future bloggers on the site will be finished up early next week. We'll be able to migrate at that time.

  • Hmm..we've been hearing "..next couple of weeks.." for the past couple of months...



    I may be missing something here, but I fail to see what's so hard to migrate this site across to CS 2.0.

  • I don't like the sound of the words 'Blogging guidelines'. You promissed me there wasn't going to be any restriction whatsoever about what I am and am not allowed to blog about on this site.



    This has now changed?

  • I think waiting to see what the blogging guidelines are would be the prudent thing to do. Then again, perhaps people like stressing themselves out over nothing. =)

  • Indeed, lets wait and see, but it's the first time I read about any guidelines. I'm serious, Alex, I'm not going to accept any guidelines in the sense of "you're not allowed to blog about this here". But I think no-one here will do that so that kind of guidelines are more or less useless anyway.



    Also a censorboard like the microsoft blogs have is IMHO not acceptable. But again, let's wait and see.
