SURVEY: I-Mockery User Blogs?

[Esuohlim]

I think part of the confusion here is the use of the word "posts".

Ok, since there's obviously some confusion, lemme show you guys how they work. vBulletin now has a blog plug-in available and I thought some of you might be interested in it. Please check out all of the following links to help get a better understanding of how it would work (obviously, it would look like I-Mockery and wouldn't be the bright white design that they have):

Here's the blog homepage on a forum:

Here's a test user trying it out:

Here's that same user with a bunch of comments in one of his blogs:

Hope this clears up some of the questions you guys have about it. And yes, there are some other sites out there that have implemented both forums and user blogs such as Newgrounds and Destructoid.

I like how Destructoid promotes super fly stories to tthe main page. Could ya incorporate something similar here? That'd be freakin' tight.

[GADZOOKS]

The example content wise makes me feel like it's an even worse idea than before.

I've seen those Destructoid blogs when I use to read the site for videogame news and those are nothing but flame baiting and "I bought something today" posts. It was just an uneeded extension to their already abysmal comment section. I think the only reason why anyone would read someone's blog is to find information to make fun of them. Most people here who are interesting enough already have their own blogs somewhere else. I don't see myself reading anyone's blog or making them. The message boards eat up enough of my time.

Added: Also, I don't want people spamming their new blog entries around the forums especially in the chat thread. It's bad enough hearing people complain about boring shit there and I don't need links to longer versions of that boring shit. BUT THAT'S JUST ME, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Chojin]

Those examples are pretty much exactly what I thought they'd be. I still don't understand why entries like that couldn't be posts in chat or their own threads.

[bigtimecow]

yeah, shit sucks. chat threads are where it's at
