User blog:H*bad/IRC=Involved in the Community

Read the title carefully....now read it again. Just for good measure I want you to read it one more time. Okay? Got it? Good, guess what...WRONG. That's totally WRONG. Just because you get on the IRC doesn't mean that you are involved in the wiki. Guess what guys, that's the subject of this blog. Which means, it's blog time. This is H*bad with your newest update in my ever growing rant list.

It's hard to decide if you are involved with the community or not sometimes. What's the line between involved and just following the crowd? In my last blog post I talked about how everyone should try to get more involved. A subject that I was asked about, on the IRC, was does involvement include the IRC. Maybe. My answer is maybe. There are users on there who aren't very active on the site. Just because you are online doesn't mean anything. We need activity, not campers. There is a reason why we have the rule about no camping, whether you agree or not(I don't, but that's on a different matter entirely).

One last tidbit before I sign off from the blog for...until next time, one of the best ways to show that you are active is to be on the IRC. But again, the statement: "IRC=Involved with the community" is still wrong. It's just one of the best ways to get involved. The best ways to be involved are the following: A) Make Fanon(DUH!), B)Vote in stuff on forums, C)Create Proposals in forums, D) Use user talk pages, E) Use the forum, F) Get on the IRC(optional), and G) Use the talk pages on Fanon articles to give a review or something.
