There’s something wistful about abandoned blogs. Someone started a site and poured their creativity into it, then, eventually… stopped.
Maybe their interests changed, maybe they got out of the hobby, maybe they got too busy, maybe they had kids, or maybe the march of time caught them as it will catch us all.
The most poignant aspect is the lack of a farewell. It’s a normal post with a future ahead of it. But then, that’s it. There’s no wrap up. No conclusion. It’s a cliffhanger. It could happen to any of us, even me.
Disclaimer: I don’t know anything about the owners of these blogs. My most sincere condolences to those that are not longer with us. I hope everyone is still painting and playing. Take care of yourselves and others. Hug those kids, even if they’re all grown up!
So here are some of the best abandoned hobby blogs on my radar.

Is back, it was his return that prompted me to start my own.
Off to read more of yours now.
Thanks for letting me know about the return of Realm of Chaos! Itβs been great reading up on his new adventures and getting back into the hobby. I was positive (in my own mind) that he was no longer with us!
