Is the diary section gone
Came to the board, which I’ve stayed away from for a couple months, because game week means it’s Look-a-like diary time. Can’t find a link to the diaries, am I just missing it?

I don't think anybody's been into it until now cuz of the same reasons

Thanks for the heads-up. TBH, I didn't notice it until this thread.
I'll follow up on it by sending a DM to Seth.
October 18th, 2020 at 11:40 AM ^
Noticed this last night. Thanks for the help!
October 18th, 2020 at 11:05 AM ^
Yes. You are the first to have missed it. +1
October 18th, 2020 at 11:09 AM ^
I was missing it BEFORE, it was gone!!

Dear diary,
Where have you gone? I feel lost not being able to write in you. Please come back.
Sincerely,
Greg McMurtry
P.S Say hi to HUEL

I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob
October 18th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
no dairy here
October 18th, 2020 at 12:09 PM ^
Nobody had written one for awhile so I took it off the front page. Then nobody noticed for 5 weeks.
October 18th, 2020 at 12:19 PM ^
You dont know what you got till you notice it's gone 5 weeks later
October 18th, 2020 at 12:25 PM ^
Yes, had noticed. Just figured it was part of the overall dumbing down. . . spiritual malaise of the founders. . . general craptacular Covid-impelled descent to hell.

Don't you realize the Diary desuetude reflects the parlous progress of MGoBlog?! Represents the absence of perfection in UM football!! Indicates the dire danger in our democracy!!! Portends the Apocalyse!!!!
That's why so many astutely observed the absence.

I noticed a couple weeks ago and was going to say something.... but then I thought it may not be "thread-worthy." People can be a little picky around here.
So, then I had the great idea to make a diary post about it... and well, that's that.
October 18th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
Doesn't need to be on the front page necessarily, but can it at least still be under the MGoBoard tab?
October 18th, 2020 at 2:00 PM ^
I noticed, and as one of the last people to write a diary I was a bit offended it disappeared to be honest, but as JMo said, I didn't think making a post about it would be deemed thread worthy. Was actually planning to write another diary this week, is that just not going to be an option now?
October 18th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
I can bring them back at the bottom of the sidebar.
October 18th, 2020 at 6:58 PM ^
This would make me as happy as the end of OT season did!
October 18th, 2020 at 8:16 PM ^
Cheers Seth, think that's a good move as the diaries don't seem to get a ton of traffic, but think they're an essential part of this site with some of the great content they generate.
October 18th, 2020 at 8:59 PM ^
Thank you for reconsidering and reinstating the Diary section, Seth!
I agree with the above poster, there's been a lot of great content generated in the diaries over the years. And though I don't have any data to back myself up on this, I think it's somewhat a seasonal thing. Only time will tell.
October 18th, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
While true, there are a number of high-quality diaries that I would miss (e.g., bronxblue's Best and Worst).
Off season, though, it's usually pretty barren.
October 18th, 2020 at 5:39 PM ^
Seconded. bronxblue owes us nothing, but Best and Worst is one of my favorite things to read on mgoblog. Especially after a loss and the place becomes a minefield of angry hot takes.
October 18th, 2020 at 12:26 PM ^
I loved the look alike posts during game week.

Are we voting? I vote keep it off. Let people post their epic long posts on the board. It’s fine.
October 18th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
Voting? I was told there would be no political discussions here.
October 18th, 2020 at 9:11 PM ^
Evidently it was more of a town hall but no votes.

I only read the Diaries - and scan the rest.
Taking them out was a dong punch.
You win with people and write with inspiration.
In general when people go silent... things are not good.
Leave them up...please.
