Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 03:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Admins got a message recently that told us about the new feature that Wikia is planning on launching. It's a type of Blog, read more here. The purpose of this thread is to ask everyone how they feel about having it hear. Will it cause more deadweight users? Should we try it first? What do you all think? There is an option to disable the blog articles. We need an answer by Tuesday evening.

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. I say we try it for a month, and then if it is a waste of time, we get rid of it. Mind you, in my opinion, blog just sounds like Useless namespace to me -10:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 16:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC) I was talking to other users from the #FFWiki IRC and they think of it as a way for Wikia to slowly make Wikia into another one of those social networking places ;} Basically it's a huge userblog that people can comment on. Used when people have something to say, or want to rant on about their fanboi dreams and other things.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 17:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC) D8 Soon they'll ask us to upload personal images and hunt us down like ebil kidnappers!!!! *panic* Errr I don't realy see it all that useful... that's what userspace is for ne? To rant and to add walkthoughs and to say how much we all love Sephiroth certain characters... >.> If that's all there is to this new feature I agree with Ultima, try and then discard decide...

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 19:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC) I think that Wikis should not be turned into blogspots... and it seems kind of useless here... and if this is intended to increase the wikis social-side, it's definitely a waste of time, since we are (by my standards) super-social already! But I agree with you there, Yer Mom, that these blogs are most likely just what you'd put on your userspace, but with a comment section! I also agree with Ultima, that it should be tested before declined. and who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be good for the wiki (or something...)
