Fun Stuff > CHATTER

I pretty much only read 3 threads on this forum

Which are worth roughly 1000 words each.

Sorry, but I still don't see how the arbitrary locking of the blog thread was justified except that some people were never cool with it. It wasn't eating up potentially cool threads, it was just people venting. It was nice to be able to hear about people's day-to-day lives sometimes. People shouldn't just start threads about "man my day sucked," because if everyone did that, that would be all this forum is. The blog thread served a useful purpose in giving people a place to do that.

I really don't think there was any good reason for it. Except that some people have a problem with threads that are popular enough to continue living more than a month.

If we cast our minds back you'll remember that the Blog Thread was created because people were bitching about the direction the forum was going in, much like this thread.

ITT people are never happy with anything ever

I was as annoyed by the shuttering of the blog thread as anybody, especially given that there are long threads with consistently worse content (the fashion thread) but I accept that it's gone and that it's not going to be restored. It's been my experience that when changes are made in a forum they're always permanent (unless the change is persistently and obviously disruptive to the rest of the forum) I don't doubt that the decision to lock the thread was largely arbitrary - if the problem was length there would've been a new thread started in the wake of the locking, ala the mediaf!re thread. But est doesn't really have to explain himself, he doesn't serve us. It's his decision as to what constitutes an appropriate thread for the forum, and the blog thread for whatever reason was deemed inappropriate. The reason doesn't matter. If you really want to, start another iteration of the thread. I don't imagine it'll get locked, at least not right away. The last one did go on for quite awhile. Don't bother trying to convince people who never saw the utility of the thread to agree with you. They feel as strongly about whatever it is they think as you do. Just don't keep going on about it here.

To reiterate, if you feel that strongly about it, just start the thread again. It's that easy. Are you afraid people are going to bitch? People are bitching plenty already. People are still bitching about a thread that they successfully shut down almost a week ago. You might as well start it just so that, if nothing else, this thread will start making sense.
