are blogs HONESTLY needed? the last post was from like a week ago. there's no new blogs, and there's very few who use the blogs. why don't we have a chatroom thing there? i know someones going to say "BUT GRAAL IS ALREADY A CHAT ROOM", but i mean like how on the other graal forum's there's one. i'm sure that it would be used much more than the blogs.

I don't think we need blogs but why can't they just be there to be there?

If anyone wants to chat just PM me.

Nothing wrong with offering blogs. They won't do chats because they're harder to moderate, and we all know moderation is their #1 concern.

Complaining about blogs not being used often? You should go complain about projects instead

Anyways, why do you want the chat box so much? On every forum I've seen a chat box, they are either full of spam or clean because the forum have a decent amount of (quality) moderators.

A place to spam? Then they should just make a forum section where post count doesn't raise.
But, the problem with that is that spam still have to be moderated.

So, if you want a place to spam, make a social group called "I want to spam" and use the 'chat box' in there.

yes, because im sure that a LOT of people would join a group called "i want to spam" with the thought of their talking is spam.

It was just an example. I didn't tell you directly to do it though.

Spam needs moderation. It's easier to create and post spam, thus more to moderate.

I like the blogs.
I do not wish to moderate a chat room with Graal members, thank you..
I used to have to do that when I managed a server.

There's about 9 pages of this exact question in the main forums. General consensus: it's a useful addition. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean other people don't. I actually use mine for development updates. Granted, I have only made 1 post, but that is because there's only been 1 post worthy of development updates, in which I'm the person developing.

I am hoping that more people will use the blogs for their playerworlds, like making albums and such, and give good info
