Blogs on Forums

[Magicboyd25]

Hello, So I know other forums have a blogging capability. I know this is a forum for game discussion so if It is the wrong place please tell me. But I do think it would be nice to have a blogging capability for these forums. It might add a nice aspect and possibly bring more to the forums who may want to do that. It is one thing to do it in a main forum such as orbis central but a blog part of the forums would be nice. I dont know the logistics or if it is a plug-in, but I do know it can be done somehow lol.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

The IPB forums do have a blog plugin, but it's a paid add-on.

Ah ok so then it would be completely up to sheepy to decide if it was worth it. 

 

I shall make a poll. See who would use such a function.

Any idea just how much of a cost we're talking, here?

I am pretty sure we get enough donations to support that right? But then again I am not sure on amounts people donate lol

Honestly I can think of many things that this would be awesome for. Like I love doing blogs in communities like this.

Blogging Capabilities? What exactly is that?

It's the ability to create a separate blog that pops up on the side. It's a plugin. So you can make a blog and it will allow for a separate discussion and that blog will hold your smaller blogs you post. Its awesome, really.

I really like this idea. It would be super awesome for Noir to use, and I imagine various others.

I personally don't really use blog features (I gave the poll a "maybe"), but I am very interested to see what others might put together!

Truthfully, I'd be willing to donate that amount to Sheepy if I had assurances it'd be added. I'm a forum whore as it is.

I'd split it with you.

 

Paging Sheepy.

I've already donated the maximum allowable this month. He should be able to afford it, tbh.

I'd probably use something like this. It's time to let the world know how I REALLY feeL, because I've been holding back... clearly.

Same.

 

Sheepy, we demand shiny new things!

[Magicboyd25]

Sheepy has passed on to me previously that he is going to be doing some research first into how to properly set them up etc. So I know he will be getting around to it when he has gotten that figured out
