+ Show Spoiler + Short for weblog. A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. Consists of such riveting entries as "homework sucks" and "I slept until noon today." or a place where people bitch about their daily activities which nobody is interested in. topics like why they argue with boyfriend and how they end up together at last, daily aneroxic activities like drinking blended organic fruits and vegetable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, talking about cutting themselves with a razor blade and how good they felt, bitch about their shopping activities and what they got. just another way to seek attention and sympathy from other people. I don't like the Blogs here either, imho it does not work well with the concept of a forum & news page. | ||

Blogs are just glorified forums threads i.e. a collection of forum threads based on subforum - if you treat them as threads and have access to them as a list of new date-entry threads, which tl.net offers, it only adds to the site and takes nothing away from it. If your mind can't adapt to such a small change just treat blogs as threads and simply use the page listing them according to date entry and not author entry. The distinction between standard forums (forum plus PM system) and modern forum (i.e a second generation forum with blog functionality - or simply put - a forum with an optional personal thread-gathering subforum that can be viewed publicly - means that the latter only adds functionality to the forum. You are not forced to used the extra functionality - it is up to you, just like you are not forced to used the PM system, the profile entries, the poll funtion etc.. More functionality generally promotes all those things a good forums strive for: more content, recruitment, experience and idea sharing i.e. community building. People often instead of thinking just repeat cliche's ad naseum; if they simply stopped to think about the issue a few minutes they would realize how pointless are comments criticizing blog functionality as something negative or that it takes away from the general forum. It doesn't at all, in fact it promotes participation, it expands the general-forum-type content and definitively makes sorting out the value stuff from the crap even easier. I personally like blog functionality since it helps create community, strengthening it, plus it does battle against trolls and smurfs. | ||

Bear in mind that this opinion is a reflection of the section on this site; in principle i hate the idea and the 'word' makes me cringe, but if used right its just a collection of funny posts or an easy way to group some sort of project I suppose im accepting them easily because I enjoyed some of the ones over on LP before the feature came here and the first few to be posted here were pretty entertaining | ||
