Blog section?

[CapnAwesome]

I don't understand why you have a problem starting blog threads in off topic but are fine if they are in a separate subforum.

Blog thread should be 1 per user right? Or were you going to create a new blog thread for every "blog post"?

Well people are already basically blogging in the off topic section. Like I said it's probably 15-20% of what goes on there, blogs and stories, they just aren't called that. So there is tons of blogging going on on this site. Poke around off topic and consider how much of it is more or less blogging.

Yeah, one thread person is I assume how people would do it, like the 'ask a....' sub forum. Which people love.

Honestly I almost never start threads in off topic, because they get buried quickly and get lost in the clutter. I certainly wouldn't want to put the effort of writing up a fairly long story on a smart phone, only to have it get barely brushed over and buried quickly. That's why it's probably the worst place for something like sharing a personal story, even though people do that lots anyway. A separate subsection makes so much more sense, because you can go there to easily check on "Tiberius Blog" or "Diedre's blog" and see which ones have been updated by the fact they have risen to the top. Rather than subscribing to some off topic thread. It would be neat and organized, intimate and personal.

It would be so much better a format than the way personal stories are handled here now, which is randomly grouped in off topic, with butt jokes and cat memes.
