Xangaversary
Today is the 4 year anniversary of this site. Four years ago today I launched this site after shutting down Danthetheologian. It was proceeded in death by thetheologian. So this was my third site on xanga.
It is funny how sensitive I was when I first started on xanga. It bothered me to read posts about my site. I would have a fear go down my spine every time I would come across a post that mentioned me in any way. It never felt like any of them were positive either.
But these days I am xanga tough.
How many xanga sites have you had?
Comments (145)
Two. This one and another that is now pretty much dead.
FIRST! two.
2. I had my first March 14, 2003, shut it down sometime in September 2005 and started this one.
JUST ONE. woo hooooo. there’s no way i could make another name this catchy, sir.
happy xangaversary, man.
i have only one.happy anniversary. i mean, xangaversary. yeay!
Oh gosh atleat 7
Congrats!
freak i missed the first. -,-
i remmebe rit used to be quite the battle to see who got first for you.
take ur posts virginity w/e
That are genuinely mine that I write in frequently? Three. This one, my private blog for my friends and associates, and a blog where I just talk movies.
Two. I had my first one for about three years, and this Christmas, I will have had this one for two years. Though, I have changed the name of this site.
Happy Xangaversary
….like 10.
Happy Xangaversary!
This has been my only account.
This is my one and only account
It’s my way of staying honest.
Three legitimate ones. I shut down my first site (piperguy) after I disavowed the Mormon religion (and a lot of that site was fully devoted to how much I loved the LDS Church and God and all that jazz). I reopened a site with a very controversial name (apostate_mormon_lynn) where I then mainly dogged on the Mormon religion from a Christian perspective as at the time I was a practicing evangelical. When I fell away from that, I again shut down, and opened this site as “lynnygblair” but I thought that was a cheesy name, so when they offered me a name change, I simply changed my site name to “abilene_piper_lg,” and as I’m about to move fairly quickly probably, I’ll be changing my site name again.
I had one other site, and that was a “fake” Gordon Hinckley site, which I created as a spoof sort of mocking the ridiculousness of the LDS religion and how they will do whatever their beloved prophet says. It didn’t last long before it pissed the Xanga community off and it was administratively shut down.
After this one I made another, but it didn’t last a month. however, I have been Zayin_michael / TheGiantSlayer for going on 3 years
This one was first, the second one was sort of an accident that only a noob could have made. I only use it to say one last hello, to those needing one last hello. So I guess I have had 2 sites but only one was ever used.
That’s interesting how you were originally so sensitive. I have only really had this one.. and I just celebrated my 5th Xangaversary myself.
This is my third username…I’ve been on Xanga since January 2005.
Two. This one and my NZ+ Thailand Travel journal.
This is my first. There are others I made after that are “secret” but I always give them up (or shut them down.)
Yay for me…4 or 5 years. I gotta check next time I sign in.
Four. Shut down the first two, ditched the third.
far over a hundred.
A lot more than I can count
probably like 20.. that’s kinda weird.
three. but i have only used the first and third one. i made the second one for a name change and never used it.
xo
twelve thousand
1
My current one is my third… and looking at my old posts, boy have I changed!
Happy Xangaversary!
I’ve had maybe 3 or 4.
Three. The first two were annoying and whiny so I got this one. Which actually started out pretty annoying and whiny, too. But the name was more fun! =P
One. I’m not one to re-up.
i’ve had… three. four, if you count me just buying a new username.
1 from my Prepubescent years
and my current one
actually i have one more but its a secret one
so 3
Just the one for me personally. Ran FG for a bit. Hubby has had two sites. He never visits either of them.
3. 4 if I include the joint one I had with my buddy where we talked trash about all our friends together… it was very childish, and yet still fills me with glee when I go back and read some of our insults. I guess I’m still childish.
one. whoo.
Two. I was anonymous when I started, but then I decided I wanted to just be myself and not worry if people who knew me in real life saw it. So I shut that one down and made this one.
Only this one now. I had another that I just used to practice on how to use the features of Xanga. I commented with it on your site some and a couple others, but didn’t us it much. I only have this one now and that is prolly gonna come to an end shortly.
congrats on 4 years. ive only had one but i always forget to post things
I’ve made two
@AFS90 - 12,001 counting this one
I’ve had two: saintvi and notsaintvi. I don’t do much with the other one. Happy xangaversary!
two…and I remember your other site…congradulations…smile
About 50. Two of them were constantly featured. Sometimes the limelight burns.
@UnworthyofHisgrace - quit bothering me, homo
Like fifteen in two years. Lawlz.
7…
Real sites. I’d say about 4 all together. One time I did have a personal and a photography site but they would count for one Then I had dancing dreamers something, just_jess0907, the_loveliest tragedy, and onlyxlovexremains. The others didn’t last long or were dedicated for storage of junk photography, quotes, and icons, and graphics…. I have done alot of xanga time. But when it comes to being a true xangan—2 times. the_loveliest_tragedy and now, onlyxlovexremains.
My only one.
I’ve have had four Xangas, two of which are still around. Rob_of_the_Sky was my first and always was and still is my main site. I started up another Xanga because my friend had two Xangas and I was kinda making fun of him. I only made a couple of entries in it and deleted it not long after starting it. The next Xanga I started up was a revival of my friends second Xanga, which he had shut down. This Xanga became like my emo Xanga. I made like three entries in it and shut it down a couple of years later. The final Xanga that I made is robo_fthesky, who is a robot bent on destroying me for no particular reason. It’s still around even though I haven’t update it in over two years. So yeah, that’s all.
Congratulations! This is my second site ^_^ I hated the last one.
Happy Xangaversary!
This is my second main site, and my third main username, but it’s pretty much the same as the first one. :/
The first Xanga site I signed up for I named psychotic_playground (I so should have kept that one! lol) and I believe I had two more after that before I settled on the one I have now.
one. amazing right? five years and counting…
congrats and keep it up!
just this one.
Happy ‘Versary.
Well… I have over twenty. But that’s not my fault – they were for an experiment with the old star rating system.
For actual writing, I have… 5ish xangas I think.
And I think that, while you may have gotten tougher, reading about your site on xanga is probably easier now because all the comments are positive these days!
@AFS90 - You got it bud, never again.
5, 3 regular, 1 private for friends, and 1 none of my friends know about
one, lol.
I started using Xanga when I was in 8th grade (13), and now I am out of high school (18), so that’s five years. I’ve accumulated eight million Xangas over that time span.
Okay, I just made a list. The grand total is:
24.
3 or 4, i wish i had just kept them all instead of deleting them.
Two.
happy xangaversary~
i think i’ve had soooooo many. i can’t remember!
i’ve always have only one xanga site… since June 2003
Just the one I have now. If you go back and read my old posts, I’m pretty emo, but that’s okay. It’s just the natural progression of life I guess.
Three – my first I forgot the password to and abandoned. The second is the site I run now. The third I started for fun and quickly got bored with.
I’ve only had two.. and now I just have the one.
2…another one is inactive now…
two! I made one in 7th grade, then quit. I wish I didn’t abandon it because I left all my younger days’ blogs there, and now I will never find it again. I’ll keep my new one foreverrrrr <3
Just the one, really. I ran another for organizing reunions for my middle school for a while, but I gave up on it…
one lol! just recently celebrated my first anniversary
Happy Xangaversary! I have had three different xanga sites.
@abilene_piper_lg - So what do you believe in now?
Way too much, and I’ve only been here for four months. XP
Happy Xangaversary.
Only this. But then I only got it a year ago.
2 that meant anything (this naive one and a far more naive one that was my first Xanga)…with 3 names (I love the abiity to buy a new name for your Xanga).
I actually had around 5 or 6 because I attempted to make my own layout site and needed the extra sites to host my layouts. Yeah, that didn’t work out very well.
Just one.
Um…3? This one, the first one and the one my friend and I secretly created to discuss wedding ideas without my fiance seeing the dresses I liked.
Oh, wait, there’s two of this on this xanga, so I should include John’s xanga too. So 4. Unless John has more I don’t know about.
somewhere around 7 or 8, lost count.
most still active, in some way.
Happy Xangaversary, Dan! I just have the one site.
Xanniversary? Bleh. More coffee, please.
4.
My one and only <3
I don’t know, over fifteen.
Happy xangaversary! I have just had this one and hope to keep it up!
Congrats Dan, You have made your mark. How many years total on xanga?
Just this one. Well over 5 years. Woo…
I’ve always been a one Xanga sort of man.
Two.
Third times the charm for me. ♥
The only one I have ever posted on is this one.
Happy Xangaversary Dan,I am so glad you are here,you have made a difference in my life the many times you were there for me when I needed to talk.
I love you for it.
About four or five.
This is my second site, and my 3rd Xangaversary on this one is coming up in less than a month.
I’ve had 3. I started one back in 2004 and I kept it for a few years, then I left and when I came back, I forgot about it and made a new one. Then I was being stalked so I had to make this one.
one
11, my first one started in 2001. I still have one that exists from 2002.
have had this one for 6 years.
I think this is the third. My love-hate relationship with Xanga, ha.
Just this one.
to this day I have never shut down a xanga account, my oldest is from 2003
2. This one and a more personal one that’s locked.
I had to go back and look, but AliasUndercover has been on the case since 2/26/2005. This is the only blog I’ve had.
I’ve had two. My first was cobalt_the_strange, which I started at the end of eighth grade. (I’m a rising college freshman now. Woo for being a Xanga veteran!)
Congrats on your 4 years on Xanga.
This is my only Xanga account. LOL ^_^
preceded?
dos.
Happy Xangaversary!
I have one Xanga. I have one Momaroo. I pretty much just update the Momaroo now. The Xanga one no one ever read so I figured it was pretty much just for me to vent whenever I got upset.
Happy Xangaversary, Dan.
This is still my first and main xanga, though I’ve made maybe 4 or 5 others for various reasons.
This is my one and only. Five years and still going. I must say my early posts were way too emotional. Glad those days are over.
I could tell you, but I would have to kill you, Dan.
2. I used the other one because my mom was stalking this one, but now she doesn’t use Xanga anymore. I never used the other site much though.
this is my 3rd site as well.
and btw… i’m exhale_whispers
I had one before this but I honestly don’t remember my username to it. And then now I have 2.
Probably 10. But I like this one….I remember your first one. Back in the day I thought you were “Evil” really I did. Now I think you’re a little crazy, but a good guy.
First of all, Happy Xangaversary! I can’t imagine Xanga without you, and you are absolutely one of my favorite people on here. So I hope you’ll be celebrating many more anniversaries here.
As to your question, I’ve already talked about that issue on my blog so I won’t answer it again here. It’s funny to hear you say that you were sensitive to the haters when you started here. I’m glad I’m not the only one to react that way. Anybody who knows me knows that I’ve been attacked in an especially vicious manner by some of those people. I guess, lacking social skills, such people thrive in this environment, but I should never have forgotten that they are in the minority, even here.
I don’t waste my time on such people in real life, and am not sure why I did it here, or why I ever let the trolls push me into closing my page.
I get now what sad people they are, and don’t plan to feed them anymore. I was wrong to ever acknowledge their desperate and sometimes frantic cries for attention. Lesson learned.
Maybe learning that is the key to Xanga after all. So I may not be as Xanga tough as you are yet, but I’m getting there, and learning from your great example!
This will be my last Xanga page (see I’m answering the question!), and the trolls will have to go beg somebody else for attention.
just this one, for about six years…
like 4 but I only consider 2 of them my real xangas. this one and my first original, favorite one too. I didn’t want to shut it down, I didn’t even shut it down, someone else did so I’m stuck with this one
I’ve had 3 or 4 in the past 5 years…my Xangaversary is coming up too!
due to over protective parents, I’m on my fourth.
I’ve had four. But I don’t remember what my first one was.
5. Three of which are still hanging out somewhere, being dormant.
This is my 7th. I still have the others but don’t use them.
Xangas…three.
And then this is my only one for datingish.
Happy Xangaversary. Just one sight and I still have it.
1
This is my one and only, though I have debated shutting down and starting over just to change my name…but I wanna hang on to all my old “brilliant” posts.
Probably around 6. I shut down a couple, ditched a couple, and then forgot about xanga all of a sudden. Then a few years later thought of it again and started all over.
I’ve forgotten
Three
only this one, but I too started sensitive and toughed up. A good thing. This site has gone through many changes, and different friends come and go. I love it. I have learned and am still, learning a lot
ONE – damn kids these days have no sense of loyalty or purpose!
This is my 3rd xanga. The 1st I closed due to a stalker,the 2nd I just used for layout practice and is also gone. Glad to see you are still sticking with it.
One!
probably 5 over the last 2 years
How did you develop such thick skin?
just 1.
I’m on my 5th main one, although I’ve had many others that no one knows about =]
One
Four.
SparklerGirl7 (lasted a few years before mysteriously being shut down)
Queen_of_You184 (I had put the incorrect age and went to change it, but ended up getting my site shut down)
Queen_of_You188 (current. Longest running site so far.)
BrainMangaNetwork (a site I created myself with the help of suprgamefrk. He is the leader and I’m second in command. =D)
I’ve been on Xanga since I was seven. Yay! =D
I have only had the one Xanga site for about 3 years now. Sadly I didnt start posting on it until about 2 years ago now I think. Mine is more of a public journal. Though I wish I had more readers lol.
Hmm…I think I’ve had 4. This is my original..home is where the heart is and all that. I’ve had this one since October of 2003, I believe. It’s something like that.
about 4, I think it was in 2005
Three. First one was back at 2004, then the second was at 2006. I’ve had this one since 2007.
