Greetings-
There has been some trouble lately, were BoRCom a business I would have a case for slander going on but since it is not there is nothing I can do except post here to clear the air of the rumours being spread. I find it a sad state of affairs when something nice is taken and turned into something evil to fit the agendas of a small group but it's a big mean world.
Allow me to clarify a few things.
BoRCom is a small community that consists of five domains. I rent/admin the server the domains sit on, this is paid out of pocket by myself.
Everything on BoRCom is free to the user. The email, the blog, the uploading and storage of images, the ability to have their banner posted or website listed, the template help, the plug ins, the blogroll from blogrolling (which I pay for so I can have unlimited blogrolls for anyone here who wants their own).
I get nothing for this. Nothing. Some donations were made that help with server cost and still sit in an account for the final move but that was a one time drive. My 'payment' for running BoRCom is the 230 blogs that live here and the people who use them, who take the time out of their own lives to use them. There are no kudos, awards or prizes for this. I require nothing in return, not even the posting of a BoRCom banner. No hidden catches.
I run BoRCom as Strega because I do not want BoRCom to be associated with the MUD I own or the MUD I play on. There are quite a few different games that blog here and that's exactly how I want it. There is no special preference given to my own work or pleasure games and even in my own world there are those who do not know I am Strega.
I'm not a noble being, I just enjoy seeing people use their brains and write and I enjoy reading each and every blog entry posted. I run BoRCom because I can and because I believe that even in today's world a person can get something that is quality for free. I have found that Movable Type is by far the best platform out there and I don't mind laying out my own money to keep it upgraded and at top capacity.
It's sad that there are people who must take something pure and turn it into something self-serving. There is no self-serving going on here, for myself or any game. BoRCom simply is what it is - an above-average free blogging community run by one human being with the means to make it possible and nothing more.
Please. Take your conspiracies, cover ups, delusions and drama and go find another house to haunt.
