Ande's Blog is the longest running and arguably the most popular thread on the forum and should be returned to the General Swimming-Related Discussions. It is more than just a blog in that it has been highly interactive, generating a lot of discussion and addressing a wide range of swimming-related topics.
I believe when Ande joined the online forums and started his blog, there were many questions as to why he was posting it here, wouldn't it be better in a separate blog area, etc. He responded with something like he'd have it here until he was told he couldn't (I don't remember the exact phrase).
I usually skimmed Ande's blog when I had the chance. But I really don't see what all the big fuss is about. If every one of us had a blog about our swimming, the, "General Swimming-Related Discussions," forum would have gotten way out of hand. Someone made the decision to move all blogs, and it looks like most of the other bloggers have moved to the new blog area. It seems there's even a few new swimmers blogging since the change took place.
My choice has been to put my own blog elsewhere, and I don't mind if people from this forum access it or not. If you want to access Ande's blog (or someone else's), simply find out where it is (maybe private message them), and follow it at the new location.
