For me anyway.

As some of you may have noticed, A Soft Answer’s sister site, LDS & Mormon Blogs has lain fallow for some time (yes, even more than here).

Since 2003 I have tried to keep track of LDS Bloggers, first here as a very long blogroll which it eventually spun off into its own site.

As much I have wanted to keep up with listing all LDS bloggers, real life keeps getting in the way and I have realized that I just can’t do it anymore. Overrun by lots of spam and unable to keep up with and process the submissions, I have let the site go, always with the hope that I would return to updating it. I now sadly realize that won’t happen anytime soon. But instead of continuing to let it lie dormant or pulling the plug entirely, an interesting opportunity has presented itself.

Recently a strange consortium of same-sex marriage activists and Mike Hucakabee-affiliated ministers have approached me about buying the site. To say the least, I was very hesitant. But their offer was very generous and with certain assurances, it was something that I couldn’t refuse.

I have to admit that I was suspicious of their intentions. I was afraid that they just wanted the URL to spread misinformation and discredit the Church. But my decision was made much easier when they guaranteed that they would maintain the site and continue to link to and promote the Bloggernacle. That made my decision much easier. After all, how bad could that be?

There may be some needed cosmetic changes in store, but rest assured that the new management (for whatever reason) is committed to continue showcasing the shining examples of LDS thought found in the Bloggernacle.
