Recently, blogs have begun to be used for topics that would better be discussed on our Internet Relay Chat channel, not on our wiki.

Two things that I keep thinking;

What is the purpose of having blogs on a wiki like ours? We have fourms, which some newer users, think blogs replace, when they don't.
Why not just dump blogs completely? They simply fill up Special:RecentChanges with useless edits, that I'm sure nobody cares about, and they have no real point on a wiki like ours, but thats a thing for point #1.

Opinions below plox.

I would prefer to see the blog feature be removed from Halo Fanon altogether so we wouldn't have to enforce the proposed blog guidelines that I just recently posted. Though if people decide it would be better to keep it, i'm more than happy to enforce the standards.

However, most significant canon and off-topic discussions take place on Halopedia (thanks Dragonclaws) and on the IRC, respectively.

They flood the fucking recent changes. it's soooooooo annoying. I say we take this to wiki staff and get it removed somehow for our site.--SPARTAN-08BLAM! ^Talk

I am fine with them. With CT's proposal, I feel that they will be under control anyhow. Plus the fact that we really only count MAIN space edits and not the whole edit count.--H*bad ^(talk) 02:38, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

As per CT, and, users simply use the blogs as a more forum-ish tread. The thing is that blogs have little to no use on the wiki.

I am actually starting to use blogs for Halo Fanon related topics.--H*bad ^(talk) 03:07, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
