The Changing Face of FGR

So, why a blog? Why now? What's the point?

Well my fine fellow fuggers (and fuggers to be if you've found this site and haven't yet joined the chaos), the reasons really fall into three categories...

the first is simple housekeeping - we are working to get the original Flickr group cleaned up and more tightly focused on the challenge groups. Not to diminish the fun and shenanigans, but several times in the last couple of weeks there have been random non-FGR related posts appearing in the group which have been since unceremoniously scooped from the pool like the floating turds they are. As these topics appear in future, they will be removed to this blog...

the second reason is more egotistical in nature... as stated elsewhere on this page, we are hoping to expand fugging infection elsewhere. The reality is, while we got our start as a group of fools needing photographic inspiration, our connections and impact have actually gone beyond the bounds of flickr-dom. Which actually leads to the third reason...

we often have a good time taking the piss out of each other and harassing random fools who stumble into our paths... but we also are a group of some of the most caring compassionate folks I know. Through this site we are hoping to not only provide an opportunity for greater interaction between members, but also make our impact felt in other ways. One of the earliest traditions of the group has been our annual participation in the Boobie-Thon... taking that concept to the next step, we are hoping to encourage greater philanthropic pariticaption from the fugging community. Be it fundraising activitites, fugger meetups for charitable work, or other ideas, lets get out and be known not only as the rudest assholes on flickr, but also as some of the most giving people in the world of social networking...

so there you have it - three good reasons for a Fuggin' Blog... enjoy!

For the children,
