T110's Third Summer of Love and Tolerance

The_Chieftain:   Only insofar as the blog goes. As one public figure to another, such as it is. I'm sorry to hear about Squaddie-san and honestly wish you the best, but I'm purely addressing the perspective of your readers, there have been quite a few comments on reddit and various forums that RSR isn't what it used to be. I don't know if you've noticed them.    The last WoT-related item on your blog prior to today was four days ago. The week previous, there was a three-day break. Another four-day break a week and a bit prior. With no indications ahead of time that these breaks would be coming. It is disappointing for me as a regular looking for information to go to the website, and see for most of the past week the same Panzer-74 picture. Eventually one will give up and go to another site, and once they find another side, that's that. For example, over on TAP, there seem to be multiple posts every day, to include one saying "I'm not here today" last week.    Just what is RSR in your design vision? If it's a blog about "The adventures of Rita, the tank girl who also plays tank games, particularly WoT", then that's fine, but I'm not sure that's what it's being put forward as. On the other hand, as a 'source of WoT/Wargaming news', it's lacking compared to the competition for routine news, and the only point of advantage is some of the personal stuff (eg going to GamesCom, which, say, TAP doesn't do). Presuming that some of your income and viewership comes from people who know you through RSR, I think a little 'branding thought' is required so that what people expect is what they get, and some tuning of the content to meet that expectation.   Opinion worth what you paid for it. I just feel as a reader that the blog is of less use to me than it used to be despite my 'brand loyalty', and if I'm not alone in this opinion, it may be something to consider.
