OK, here it is, in a few words;

this is the beginning of the end

I don't just mean of my blog, or Tcol, or Tpop, or I Get By, this my friends, is the end of blogging within our little online community. We've had some good times, and we've had some less-than-good times, and hopefully we've all learnt something from them.

Over the years we have seen many blogs come and go, but Tpop has remained like a rock, even when Sean had his hand in other blogs, and for this it is probably the best blog we've had.
Jack has had a few works, Awsomeo Extreme, a major slot on NSR, JTol and now Tcol. All of which have been quite similair and often repetitive, but still a good read nontheless.
Alex did his bit in two seperate blogs (that i know of), NSR and TMG. The Manwhore's Guide really had potential, and it is sad that it never really took off. Alex's posts didn't always follow regulations but they were still entertaining and had a very unique style to them.
Telfer has also done work on two blogs, NSR and currently Tcol. On both Telfer has been assigned the subject of tech-guy, which is a very hard thing to blog on while still being original, but despite of the difficulties Telfer still posted when required and the posts were always well above par.
Callum had a part-time position on NSR, as the music man, his posts were extremely lengthy, but were still worth the read. Sadly this was the only blogging that Callum has done.
Triffin is a newcomer to blogging, but his efforts have been amazing, I Get By has been a highly engaging series of posts that just keep on delivering, sadly Triffin is leaving blogging, apparently for good.
(Triffin did come up with the idea of quitting blogging, i've been losing inspiration recently, and so yes, i am following in Triffin's shoes, but i'm doing it for good)
And as for me, i have had my fair share in blogs, firstly with The Nathan Variety Hour blog, which mainly looked at our social and musical 'adventures' in a series of 'epics'. I then went on to a very short-lived NVOSL, this blog was where i viewed my opinions on the social adaptations during the beginning of Year ten. After that i went on to begin the well recieved NSR, but that's a story in itself. After NSR i came here, and i've finished my part on Tcol.

There have been a few others that have pushed out from under the soil and tried their hand at blogging, but it hasn't worked out for them so well, but you still deserve a pat on the back for trying.
And we shall not forget the shenanigans from the Cbox's, from the FLAMEWARS to the 'raep mai faec', they have always been a source of inspiration.

I have also seen a massive change in the way i blog over the years, it started off being very creative and open, but this slowly deteriorated into a literal social commentary, and for this i have lost some respect for myself. Maybe it's just me growing up, maybe it's me losing that creativity as i go through school and life, and the imagination gets beaten out of me by the people i know, and by the people i don't know.

So, as this is the end for a few of us in blogging, maybe some of you will keep on going, sustaining a saga in our lives. But i will not be one of these people, i will not leave this up to you to decide, this is my work, and this is where i end it.
But do not worry, i will still continue with an internet presence in our small community, and i've got quite a project up my sleeve, you probably won;t hear of it for some months, but don't worry, it will be different, it will be entertaining, it will be.

So, for the last time...

This is Nathan J, DJ Needles, and DJ Thrak calling out to all you crazy cats for one final time,

Goodbye
