Moving On
By QBlog in Blog News
Last week I was updating my "Recommended Blogs" links (on the right side of the page) as well as the feeds on the QBlog News page and realized that a lot of the so-called Quixtar critic blogs have ceased publication while several of the "pro-Quixtar" blogs keep plodding along.
Some blogs on hiatus that have been critical of Quixtar in the past:
- LawBlawg
- Quixtar Sucks
- Sinking in Quixand
- Want To Know More
- Quixtar-Amway Infiltrator UPDATE - Blog author promises more posts soons
Of the blogs who have a generally favorable view of Quixtar, On The Road With Dave is probably the oldest and most consistent. Others that have been around and keep on trucking include:
- Quixtar Success
- Business Opportunities World - Formerly Instant-Franchise
- Quixtar IT Blog
- Qrush Quixtar Blog
I suppose I should also include the Google Bombing blogs but they just seem so phony, useless and annoying — like spam.
And there's a new pro-Quixtar blog that's definitely worth mentioning. Unquixotic Enterprises is unlike any "pro-Quixtar" blog I've encountered. The author is prolific, well-spoken and seemingly honest about his (or her) personal achievement in Quixtar. That's not to say other "pro-Quixtar" bloggers aren't prolific, well-spoken and honest but... there's just something different about this blog that I can't quite put my finger on.
Three Blogs To Watch
Last September I highlighted "Five Blogs To Watch" and of those five, only two are consistently posting though one has a post from yesterday. The two remaining are joined by a third not on that original list of five:
- Standing Order Tape
- Quixtar Demons
- New addition Quixtar Inside Out
Moving On?
I guess what I'm noticing is that some people just need to move on while others, like me, just keep plodding along. And some people feel that I should move on. They feel so strongly that they send in emails telling me that they think it's time to kill the blog.

message: Dear QBlog,
I am really thankful to you because I discovered you at the right point of time and I successfully freed myself from quixtar. This happened in March 2004. I am following this blog since that point of time. But, as of today, I think it's time to kill this blog and leave it open as an archive.
Thanks Pepe but, while it may be hard for some to understand, I really do enjoy posting on this blog. My plan is to continue blogging as long as it's fun for me and right now, it's still fun so I'll continue. While some of the so-called Quixtar critics seem to be hanging up their spurs and moving on, this blogger (the original Quixtar Blogger I might add) will keep plodding along, hoping that others (pro-Quixtar and Quixtar critics alike) will join me in this little space of the web I call home.

Comments
The Unquixotic Blog has recently had a change in priorities and it appears will only be putting up posts for accountability and not too many for other purposes. At any rate I agree about this blog and will be looking forward to the accountability and financial posts.
I agree about the Unquixotic Blog. The guy's really funny, I think - he definitely has a very unique, sardonic writing style. And, very articulate, I think.
BUT, his writing also smacks of a kind of glib justification of questionable practices in this so-called "business".
On the contrary, Eric, I do have a quite a few blog-posts coming up. I have just been extremely busy, and I have been spending quite a bit of time lately responding to the pro-quixtar posts on your blog too.
A significant portion of my upcoming posts will be about putting the Republican Administration/Party on the spot. I am seriously embarking on a letter-writing campaign to elected officials.
