Departure: A short and incomplete history
June 5, 2009
There has been much speculation out and about in the comments at Sb and elsewhere that a [sigificant, distressing, salient…you name it] number of blogs have departed Scienceblogs this year. Some of the bloggers in question have left signoff messages or commented elsewhere to the effect that they are leaving in a huff, which fuels this speculation.
Being a relative n00b around these parts I was curious about the ebb and flow of blogs on ScienceBlogs over the years since launch. Have we witnessed an unusual flurry of departures in the past couple of months? Let’s review the data*, shall we?
Departures from Scienceblogs.com by year
2006
Chemblog (Jul)
Frink Tank (no link trail that I can find but see this)
2007
No Se Nada (Jan)
Smooth Pebbles (May)
Dr. Charles (Jun)
Integrity of Science (Aug)
commonground (Aug)
Neurontic (Sep)
Galactic Interactions (Dec)
2008
The Cheerful Oncologist (Jan)
Omni Brain and Retrospectacle fused into Of Two Minds (Mar; but S. Batts essentially quit by the end of 2008)
The Voltage Gate (Jun)
The Loom (Jul)
Mixing Memory (Aug)
Deep Sea News (Sep)
Science To Life (Oct)
Angry Toxicologist (Dec)
2009
Chaotic Utopia (Jan)
evolgen (Jan)
The Intersection (Mar)
See Jane Compute (May)
Pure Pedantry (May)**
Afarensis (May)
Stranger Fruit (May)
Evolving Thoughts (May)
Doctor Joan Bushwell’s Chimpanzee Refuge (May)
Interesting. A glance over the linked final-posts will give you a flavor of the diversity of (overt) reasons for departure. It is harder to determine how many active blogs there were at each time of departure so it is tricky to estimate the percent departing. It looks, however, as if there were about 53 blogs by the end of 2006 (the launch year) and the current front page claims 70. I have nothing to go on with respect to the natural lifespan of a given blog but certainly some of the final posts will inform on that topic.

*I have probably missed several departed blogs, hopefully old-timer Sb’sters will clue me in to any omissions.
h/t: I have been able to short-cut the data collection by relying on the memories or prior posts of various Sb bloggers.
Additions, Corrections, etc after initial post: Neurontic and Frink Tank (h/t Bora)
**As Scicurious notes, the primary blogger at Pure Pedantry moved to Neurotopia. I think it should still be included as a closed blog, albeit with asterisk.

It seems to me that those speculating on a common cause of the departures are making the n00b mistake of inferring causation from temporal correlation. I haven’t read all of the departure messages, but some of the stated reasons were explicitly personal (e.g., Chaotic Utopia and See Jane Compute). I’d be much more interested in a comprehensive analysis of (science) blog life-cycles than more arm-wavy speculation around a subset of bloggers.
But then again, as an insider, my opinion probably doesn’t count for anything to those who will gossip regardless.

This would be more meaningful with a count of the total population, how many added, how many current and how many left. Oh yeah, and their tenure and average tenure (that can be derived from the other statistics) might add more depth to this.
“Town empties in June” would be an annual headline in places like Iowa City, but when it fills up again in September, it is considered routine. Changes around seemingly arbitrary dates for those in academia may often be explained by the changes induced by the academic calendar.

Overall, I think we’re seeing the lifecycle of the medium. It is almost three years to the day that another 25-30 of us joined the original 14 SB blogs. Nearly all of the 2009 departures have been from that group. There is inevitable burnout, change in RL responsibilities, new avenues to pursue, etc. such that I wouldn’t read much into these departures. In fact, I’m surprised that we don’t see more attrition at SB from simple burnout alone.

Abel @#9: Fair point. I know little about natural life-cycle of blogging but assumed from when I started reading science-related blogs that there would be high attrition.
It is also noteworthy that for many of the Sb departures (this year and prior) there has been on-blog comment to the effect of being unmotivated, unwilling to keep up with (a self-imposed) pace, long departures or sustained slowdowns. In some cases these trends appeared many months prior to actual departure.
This is highly relevant to inferences based on the departure rate in the past month.

In addition to signout mentioned above, there’s also the pseudoblogs that have left* the borg:
– What’s New in Life Science Research
– Next Generation Energy
– Blogging the Origin
– Rightful Place (at http://scienceblogs.com/rightfulplace/ …was this ever actually ON the frontpage???)
And then there’s:
– Shifting Baselines (yes, I know that 1 of the 3 cobloggers started her own on SB)
– And let’s not forget A Good Poop, which also left this year.
So this is about 10 blogs that have disappeared within the past 10 weeks or so. This seems like a mass exodus to me!
But what I’m curious about is what both Wilkins and Chimp Refuge referred to what happened in the hidden back-channel of SB. They were both seriously pissed off by something going on with their sciblings. So is ANYBODY going to give a straight answer on why they were forced out and/or encouraged to leave?
*note: like Smooth Pebbles/Neuron Culture, the blogger might come back… but if they are taken off the main page, I consider them gone.

@DrugMonkey:
It’s probably also worth looking at the posting frequency for the blogs that left. It’s my impression that some of those were not ever very active bloggers. (The two months of Smooth Pebbles and Cheerful Oncologist I looked at, for example, had 10 posts or less). Some of the others (Chemblog, Integrity of Science) were only here for a relatively short time. All four of this month’s departures had been here since at least the 2nd wave joined (I think), and all of them were pretty active blogs. I think this is a case where the numbers just don’t capture the whole story.
@doctorgoo:
Giving an answer to your question that has any more detail than you’ve already seen would require that one or more current or former ScienceBloggers violate the trust of other ScienceBloggers. I’m sure you can understand why that’s something that even people who are no longer at Sb are reluctant to do.

@Drugmonkey
This is incorrect and you know it – at least if you participate in the forums on a regular basis. Motivation, sustained slowdowns and such are totally irrelevant to why the May group left. It seems to me that, given the confidentiality that we are trying to preserve, I’m not sure why you are writing a post that so obviously glosses over the reasons why some have left. Especially, since some have stated in their final posts, and in comments elsewhere, their reasons for leaving. Reasons which directly contradict what you say in the paragraph I quoted.

Also, after keeping an eye on another (larger but completely unrelated) online community, I’d have to say that while the list of bloggers leaving compared to bloggers still around might seem a bit daunting, but it doesn’t seem like enough of a downward trend to raise the red flag too quickly.

Plenty of observations and pilot studies and blown experiments that contribute to an individual’s appreciation of reality but that will never be in the open sphere of peer reviewed science. Discussion of the formal record without reference to extant facts which fail to make the grade for inclusion (stat reliability, peer reviewed, published) is totally normal. So stop with your misplaced moralizing.

Since then the replies appear (my interpretation)more and more like using the language of science to obscure any possible connection between the May departures.
This may be the case, but your post and your comments since then have completely ignored anything they have said. If someone read your words, it’s entirely possible to interpt them as saying that you don’t think that what they said is part of why they left at all. Is that accurate?
Yes but even though you made your conclusions based on your interpretation of the entire record, you haven’t posted your analysis of the entire record, only your analysis of the part of the record that fits with your conlusions.

My point of view is that there are multiple sides to every story and if you take one view as gospel truth you are likely to go wrong.
There IS a public record which can be used to place a lot of the *details* in context. And that was what this post was about. Evaluating the observation made by comments on multiple blogs within and outside of Sb that there has been an unusually high rate of departures recently. This list then permits a focus on who left when, what their good-bye had to say and what their blogging pattern was in the months prior to departure.

I’m not sure what you were trying to say with which is presumeably what you’re referring too when you say “and I believe I noticed your name elsewhere”
Nor did I say that this is in reference to “anyone…who is following the whole conversation.” Maybe I’m wrong here but most casual blog readers won’t necessarily have run across the Bushwell’s new site, or sandwalk. My point about your post is for those who read it in isolation. Again to me (My interpretation, rather than my accusation or claim that this was your intention) this post, without the other points of view, makes it look like their actual statements are irrelevant.
and while
In the quotes of yours that I blockquoted at 38, you certainly de-emphasize anything the authors themselves said. While you don’t explicitly say “no what they said is irrelevant,” I don’t think I’m out of line in saying a casual reader could reasonably get that impression. I think that you have done that so those people who had read the others posts, and had strong opinions, stepped back and thought about the big picture, but I feel that a casual reader could be mislead.
And yes, my point IS that there is a diversity of factors in play. But by trying to deemphasize what others have said, especially the authors themselves, it really makes it LOOK like something is going on. I’m not the only one who got that impression, it sounds like that is what 44 was getting at as well.

This is what’s confusing. I’m seeing the public record, and it’s saying to be that something’s happened behind the scenes. The data you show here say that there has been an unusually high number of bloggers leaving in the last month or so. We also have John Wilkins saying on Larry Moran’s blog that some unpleasant stuff has been happening.
Now, you (and others) seem to be trying to say that nothing has been going on, and this is natural attrition. But you’re saying it in such a vague way that it’s difficult to be certain what you mean. This is why I’m trying to pin you down: I want to be sure you’re saying what I think you’re saying, because I’m finding it difficult to swallow.
I’m also aware of the confidentiality clauses you have, and don’t want you to break it. The problem is that the only way I can see you getting to your position is by using information from the back channels. So I’m trying to find a way to get enough information out of you without breaching any confidences. It’s difficult, and obviously I haven’t worked out how to do it yet.
