Is this just spam?

Suggestion: blog forum

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

Elaborate.

[Funk]

OK:

Hmmm...why not just have a private blog forum where members can make our own topics and blog.

I know I'd like to read many peopls thoughts here but for one reason or another wouldn't actually visit their blogs.

See, if there were a blog forum, you'd have a suitable place to continue complaining about that.

Would people be interested? Or is it too close to what we already have in the Free Forum? I guess you can ask in the Site Suggestions forum so as to not detract from this particular discourse.

...

God, my job can be dull.

[Valkysas]

I can easily install actual blogging software on the pavilion. I just need to do a few stress tests to see if it can handle it, and what the average bandwidth increase would be. I'll come back to this topic in a week or so after the tests have run.

[Caciss]

I think a blog thing would be mad awesome.

[Red Dragon]

Wow, an actual forum suggestion that is bieng considered.

:explosion

[Valkysas]

most stuff is considered.

[Draygone]

I wouldn't use it. But that's just me.

I wouldn't be visiting a "blog forum" either. Again, that's me.

[hitogoroshi]

Yeah, I support this.

[Funk]

On another note: I would actually use the blog system.

[SirTMagus]

I guess it could be cool.

[Dreamknight]

But I allready have a blog!!! :(

Prepare to be copyed and pasted!

[jvrlopez]

I think after the initial interest, it's all just gonna be a place for people to vent and ***** for long lengths about how miserable their lives are and replies will eventually dissolve into "Yea, that's happened to me" and "yea, I can relate." and then the threads will die out.

I don't like the idea, but eh, whatever.

I like the the idea for the very reason jvrlopez doesn't. Better to vent in a blog than to spam up other threads about **** that rub you the wrong way.

[Draygone]

Better to vent in a blog than to spam up other threads about **** that rub you the wrong way.Yup, good thing there's places like MySpace available to complain about stuff. :)

[Funk]

Yup, good thing there's places like MySpace available to complain about stuff. :)

Yeah, but ours is a different kind of ranting. We're in post-angst mode: we know why girls don't like us so we need to complain about more trivial things like the weather and construction.

[John Mora]

I'm with "The Pez".. I don't really see it being used very much after the initial ZOMFG stage.

If we didn't whine in the Free Forum about stuff we hate it'd be empty! :(
See, that's what gives me pause. What would go in the Free Forum after that?

Sunshine lollipops and rainbows everywhere

Sunshine lollipops and rainbows everywhere
That's not a real answer.

[Funk]

OK.

Discussions of TV shows, music, and movies. News related articles. Various finds from across the Net.

[Jamos' Old Account]

What would go in the Free Forum after that?
Or the video game forum. At least half of it is Square bashing! Why didn't I think about before?

[Funk]

Not trying to be a pest, but what is the status of this situation?

[Valkysas]

so far not so good. The forum's database is extremely large to begin with, so the tests I've done with the blog software have slowed the "mirror pavilion" I have set up for tests to a snail's pace.

[Funk]

Hmmm, that's a bummer. Oh well. If it doesn't work out I'll live. I bet people have already lost interest in this idea, anyways. Thanks for trying it, though, Valk.

[Alex]

I remember when I made my own blogging site.

[Black Fire]

There is still somewhat of a chance.

[Perversion]

Slim to none, it seems.
