featured content, not cutting it. Options

[*autumn.*]

So most of us know what "Featured Content" on xanga is, right? It's based on who gets the most eprops (silly, silly things) and therefore one would assume that it's whose xanga is the most interesting. However, that's not the case.

I go to www.xanga.com, and I usually enjoy looking through the "Featured Content" sites. But now, I just get severly disappointed with the material. I've noticed a LOT of:

-Boys/Girls who claim to be emo/scene. Their xangas are pretty much all the same, with 2346236 pictures of themselves with their hair (which I do admit, is pretty cool), and their bright backgrounds with dinosaurs and ambulances. Most of the boys have a bunch of pictures of girls holding up signs saying how hot the boy is. Snort. Their entries aren't too great, I must say.

-Anorexic people. This is pretty depressing. Yeah, no further comment.

-Porn xangas. Xanga is working on banning them from Featured Content, but every once in a while, one just seeps in. Sometimes the xanga names are innocent, but when I click, I see a giant penis on my screen.

And then there's those entries which are just kind of dumb, and the owner goes to everybody's xanga and RANDOM PROPSSS them and waits for the polite, propssss back.

Every once in awhile, there's somebody like Cakalusa (?) who writes amusing entries, but this is so rare now. Roar. Anybody else getting fed up with this lack of good material on FC? [And wow, did anybody actually read this entire thing.]

I read it. :)
Well, I think the featured content Xangas are alright, I never see any of the things you mention, they're usually just regular Xangas..

[xXirockhardXx]

I did! But i never go to Featured Content. So i wouldnt really know what your talking about except fo the part were you said about poeple randomly posting in xangas so they can reply back to them.

[emrzz09]

I read it all =)


I don't really go to xanga that much anymore considering I shut down my xanga a while ago. But I do sometimes go there to see the FC and it has become pretty dumb these days =/

[*autumn.*]

You guys really need to check out FC more.

LOL
yeah i went to cakalusa's site once, pretty interesting...

[RandomHero]

I totally agree with everything you said.

[mai_z]

I rarely read the featured content xangas because I have absolutely no interest in them. I mean, I don't know them, and their xangas are really nothing interesting

[rememberme]

hahah,.

[*stephinika*]

that is retarded...i used to read them every once in awhile but i've kinda..stopped. mostly because of what you've said.

[jennyjenny]

I read it all.
And I totally agree.

Especially some people who are all "lyk omg! itz lyk tha first time ive eva made featured!!!!!!! thanx to all u pplz!!! " when a lot, if not all is all " random propz, thanks for propping me back." Seriously, it's ridiculous.

I'd actually like to earn my props, if you know what I mean.

[njgurl412]

xanga to me is getting boring. I don't really read anyone's xanga. Pretty soon im going to shut donw my xanga and go to another site like myspace.

[heyyfrankie]

i hardly ever read the featured content. =/
i don't really care about it.

[gaby]

I read it all.

Most of the people featured on FC are lame. It's people who "talk liek dis." There are also the peopel who "sPeLl LiKe ThIs." That is why I don't really look there anymore.

[DanielleMaria05]

Well, I never really read anything else but my xanga, and the few of my friends who I am subscribed to. The way I look at it, if you don't like whats in Featured Comment, don't read it. And, ofcourse porn Xangas are going to seep in, do you know how many comments those get a day?? Yeah..

[*tweeak*]

yeah, i was quite sick of the uselessness, so i dont even bother clicking anymore. i used to get a lo of girls of the "im so artistic/gothic sort who would show a bunch of low quality pictures accompanied by hopelessly dull entries

[ahhishkaren]

Hahahaha! I know exactly what you mean about the porn xangas. Everything you said really is true, that's why I dont check the FC too often.

[*Fallen_Fairy*]

it is depressing, there once was a time when people actually had stuff to say now its a lot of bs

But once in a blue moon, you get a gem. And that's almost worth all the other BS. Almost.

[EmmalieV]

Well , they get featured content because of their entries not skins or etc...but what you may not like other will love.

[yukichan]

[sharerol]

Well, I never read featured content..
