SURVEY: I-Mockery User Blogs?

[Mockery]

We're considering adding a new feature to I-Mockery where our own users would have blogs of their own. Basically, anybody could go to your profile and see your latest posts and we'd also have links to a main blog page that would show all the latest posts by all I-Mockery users.

So is this something that would be of interest to you guys? Lemme know!

[darkvare]

i use mine from gametrailers so i say yes

[Pub Lover]

How would this be different to the 'Find All Posts By...' that is on drop down if you click a user's name?

Or the 'New Posts' function?

[Asila]

Because it's called a blog, sheesh Pub.

Actually I hate to admit that this sounds kind of cool to me, at least in theory.

[WhiteRat]

I'm with Pub in that I really don't see how it's any different than what we have now.

[Terra]

Oh Lordy. Then people will see portions of their own drunken and/or drug induced rants in other people's siggies!

I say "yea."

[Zomboid]

Maybe back when there were more than a handful of decent posters here. Now I think you'd just be showing how much these forums suck.

[Sethomas]

Alright, I'll admit that this could be a very good idea or a pretty mediocre one. Thus, the idea passes to stage two where I ask:

1. More specifics: how would the blog feature be different from regular posting?
2. By "anyone", referencing who could do it, is this secret code for "people judged to be worth it"? You didn't say anything to imply it, but I'll pretend you did.

Also, something I was thinking about suggesting that seems relevant is this: make a thread, or a site feature similar to a thread, where people make observations or jokes or ideas based on a certain determined theme. If people want to discuss contributions, whether it be with an emoticon of someone saying "that's not funny!" to someone else or with an emoticon of a turquoise laughing face, they could do so elsewhere.

[GADZOOKS]

give seth a blog and no one else. The rest can use livejournal.

[Misdemonar]

I think pednaud deserves one too though

[Pandajuice]

I wouldn't use it if it was introduced. I agree that it feels unnecessary.

[Chojin]

I'd think that anything worth putting in a message board blog is something that we'd rather have posted on the board at large to drive content.

I don't understand who would use it or what these blog posts would contain.

[Esuohlim]

I do like this idea though. I'd definitely use it, at any rate.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, it's a great idea if you want to further the degradation of the forums

[Fathom Zero]

Is Destructoid responsible for this?

[liquidstatik]

I would never use it, so idc ;_;

[Terra]

ah man, no. we are all waiting to see what goes on in your mind.

Well, thank you kindly. I do have a blog. All should visit it.

Like others have pointed out...I'm not really sure how this is really a blog and not just a fancier 'all posts by' feature. Like Seth, I think more detail or an example is needed.

If it's just a fancy version of the 'all posts by' feature, why bother?

[executioneer]

is there another msg board we can look at for an example where this blog thing is set up
