META: wither One Frame at a Time?

Submitted by Ecky Pting on September 10th, 2021 at 11:29 AM

Recognizing that several staff changes have occurred since last season, are there any plans for someone to pick up what was once a regular feature? I for one have always enjoyed it, and the WMU was chocked full of gif-able clips.

The short version:  He resigned.

The long version...is probably worth a diary which will not be written by me.  There are a couple of places this was discussed here, also here (kind of), and elsewhere.

I for one enjoy the free content, so I'll keep coming back as long as the writing keeps being this interesting.  This blog has changed much in the years that I've followed it, and will continue to do so.

Ace left the blog for any number of purported reasons but I'm fairly certain only the people who run this place + Ace really know why.  It's probably the most banal - he wanted to start something new where he would have more control over the messaging and presentation of his ideas and the site in general.  It's pretty clear that the pandemic was also quite tough on a number of the MGoBlog principals, which again makes sense, and so some changes are to be expected.  I've been around here long enough to see a lot of people come and go, and it will continue in the future.

Answers to existential questions like this are always hiding out there in murk that is the space-time continuum.  If you seek hard enough and long enough you will find them.  Like some great philosophy majors once said, the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.  So take off your hat and dive after them.
