PNN's Strength is Its Weakness

After hearing Comic Tragedy's frustration at being overburdened with spam, and not being featured on the front page...again, I spent some time poling around the front page.  CT spoke about some of the people that left this site, and either went to other places or quit blogging all together.

To my great sadness, I noticed that the site is slowly getting taken over by schools.  PNN, which was supposed to be a place for meeting women from around the world was suddenly becoming a website dedicated to teachers posting homework assignments, kids who want pen pals, and spammers, of course.  Gone are the creative writers, the short stories, the carefree venting of problems, the essays.  Gone is the banter, the laughing at each other's jokes.  All of a sudden the place has become a website for homework?

How did this happen? Most of it came during the first flight of good authors. But the second has happened just recently, and for reasons that you might not expect.  PNN has a wonderfully easy to use website, free and easily accessible to a teacher that needs a fast website.  It's versatile, easy to find on the web, and easy to cruise. 

Sandra47 told me several weeks ago that new people were coming around PNN, and that if I looked for them, I'd see them. She was right, but I hadn't planned to see homework assignments.  i haven't decided whether this fresh energy is good for the site or distracting.  Whatever the outcome of PNN, you can't say it's ever a dull moment.
