Since Feb. 14th 2020 our anthro art and writing collective Hybrid
has had 37,557 views. Two and a half years later, it is time to
surrender to the inevitable. These last few months have been marked by
almost no viewers, a blog administration that refuses to answer
inquiries or questions about their multiple site problems, and once even
being shut down and flagged as malware due to the perception of the people who run blogger that we had posted hate speech, which didn't
happen. We have never posted hate, vile subjects of any nature, extreme
violence or pornography. I have no idea why the views dried up, but
they have. I wish to thank every single artist and writer that made
this idea happen, the only form of payment was publicity and now that's
gone. For some time now I have quit asking for contributions, without
viewers that's like begging for free art and everyone here knows how
irritating that can be. I wish to single out my co-owner Andibi for
coming up with this great idea, we had a good run. All of you guys have
been tremendous and most generous with your contributions.
For the time being I will leave the blog up, it's far too good a
collection to just remove from the net. Oh, and we have had 65 views
today, an ironic underscoring to me pulling the plug on this excellent
effort. It was an honor getting to play editor even though I did
exactly Jack Nothing in the way of work on the blog. Perhaps
Andy and I will get a domain and restart this venture, although I think
every project has it's natural length of time and when that's gone it's
time to move on. Until then the work of you superior artists and
writers will molder alone and unread on blogspot as a reminder to the
world that all dogs have their day. Again, thank you guys so much, we
tried. A big shout out to -
Very sincerely,
Paul K Davis
Title
of this post from Douglas Adams, his 4th book of the Hitchhikers Guide
To The Galaxy, where it is revealed the dolphins are the primary
intelligent life form on Earth.
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had
achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the
dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.
But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more
intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Terry Pratchett couldn't have said it better.
