Asper Sarnoff Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 On Arwing Landing, they have for several years had something they call "Member boxes".This sorts of works like a blog where each member have their own thread where to post things they experience from day to day and talk about things they are interested in. As it seems the "Your life" threads won't cut it, I'm wondering if we could swallow our pride and make something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 What if you already have a blog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 What if you already have a blog?It would naturally not be obligatory, but only if one wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 We'll see. I'm not sure I want something like that yet.That said, I am wanting to look into social media type things, so I am not going to say it's a definite "no" at this point, but rather a "not right now."

Guest FoXXX Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 "Do a barrel roll!" would be every post in my little thread ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I believe this will be "your life thread" times the amount of members doing the blogs. And seriously, if we can't keep one topic going on, do you think we can keep dozens? Like sabre said, people interested in this kind of stuff already have blogs, and there's a subforum specially designed to promote your site.

Like sabre said, people interested in this kind of stuff already have blogs, and there's a subforum specially designed to promote your site.No offence, but I think the staff overreacted slightly when it came to the "your life" thread(s). That the minor sparks of flame wars that came, but almost immediatly died out again was far outweighted by having a thread which to share and discuss everyday experiences and opinions. My 0.02 $.I'm of course well aware that many here, me included, have our own blog or something similar. But it simply isn't the same as I had in mind.A system which allows every member here to immediatly see whenever a new entry, or visitor reply, is posted in a box would spark many interesting and giving discussions, which is what a forum is all about after all.

Vy'drach Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 that would be cool...We never would've lost that second "Your Life" thread if StarFoxIII hadn't started that flamewar.That just reminded me of this video there, Julius.WARNING: don't watch it if you're easily offended, about everything that can offend someone is in that video, except for nudity (though the video is suggestive in one part), hardcore racial slurs, and shock images. Its from Collegehumour though, so its not "AHHHHHH" badAnd I think it would be cool to have a personal update board for this site, but I could see it being easily abused, and if it could potentially be problematic to the site, best not to risk it, I say.

Fox-Shot Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 that would be cool...We never would've lost that second "Your Life" thread if StarFoxIII hadn't started that flamewar.I'd like to note that he is banned now, which takes away the threat of him, so why not reopen it, to be honest, I have a small plan if they don't...
