Let us not forget Mike the Mad Biologist. He left some time ago, but he’s still blogging.

In reply to StevoR. Dóh! Typo for the name of Pharyngula was definitley NOT intentional. Would really appreciate if this could be fixed and altered accordingly please Greg Laden and apologies.

Cheers for the links Greg laden.

Sad news. I wish they hadn’t shut scienceblogs down completely even if they stopped adding new blog posts and comments.

I know Pharyngulag=has transferred old blog posts – with comments I think maybe? – But a lot of other stuff may well have vanished forever which is a shame.

Wonder if the wayback machine is / or present or future tech will be able / to recover some or all of the work that was typed in over many years here – or rather back then when scienceblogs existed?

So much for the internet being forever?

[…] Greg Laden (arch) has some notes that may provide background. […]

Casaubon’s Book isn’t blogging. She’s on FB though, under her name. It’s less about farming and ecology now and more about fostering.

Some who left long before the current situation

Ed Brayton’s Dispatches of the Culture Wars is at http://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatches/

Jason Rosenhouse’s evolutionblog retired last year so he could keep up with book writing.

MarkCC’s Good Math Bad Math moved to http://www.goodmath.org/blog/ though he’s been a little less active due to day job reasons.

Those are some of the ones I continued to follow (along with PZ) after that ‘Pepsi’ fiasco a while back caused some to move on.

… National Geographic invested in various site upgrades, including some look and feel changes.

Including some weird changes to the commenting process, which resulted in erasure of much of that archive. 😛

And a declaration of “family-friendly” censorship, with the deplorable exception of the ERV/slymepit tarfu.

Very interesting as I had no idea what the um, hell, was going on with SB other than abrupt closure.
