05 Blogathon Dropped Me? Or I Dropped Off Myself?

Posted by Chan Kelwin in Blogathon 2007

Just when things are starting to heat up nicely, I received an email from Lilian. She received an email from Blogathon saying that her blogger (Chan Kelwin — which is me) has dropped off blogathon. The content of the email is as below:

From: [Blogathon.org's email]
Date: Jul 28, 2007 10:13 PM
Subject: Your blogger has dropped
To: [Lilian's email]

Dear 5xmom:

The blog you sponsored, ChanKelwin.com, has dropped out of the Blogathon. You are no longer obligated to fulfill this pledge, and will not be contacted regarding it, though you may be contacted if you have made pledges to other blogs.

Thank you for supporting the Blogathon.

My immediate response? “HUH? WTF? SHIT. what happened?”

I’m no longer available in their list of bloggers who have joined. All records of the people who have pledged is gone.

I’ve sent an email to Blogathon’s admin regarding this. It doesn’t matter if I’m dumped off the Blogathon ship because I’ll continue to march on for MAKNA. You can continue to pledge through Blogathon.org and donate to MAKNA. If that link doesn’t work, screw it. Just leave a comment in any of my posts stating the amount you pledged and I’ll pick it up. At the end of this, I’ll post up the total amount pledged taking into account the previous and future pledges.

I reassure to those whom have pledged that I will continue to be here until the end of it — updating my blog every 30 minutes for 1 cause.

    Kelwin, I will continue to support you.
    At end of this blogathon, I still donate the amount directly to MAKNA via their website.

    hey kelwin,

    i just tried sponsoring you and the link works…so i think blogathon fixed whatever that went wrong.
    didn’t sponsor that much though, just a small sum only…
    keep it up ya! you’re doing something great!

    [...] It has been a tiring but fun experience. I didn’t expect to be able to raise almost USD500 in pledges. Now that I’ve *sort of* finished this blogathon, I hope you are satisfied with my “performance” and will honour your pledges. Which reminds me of the earlier scare I had, thinking that I was dropped off blogathon. [...]
