Journals

[Blake]

Here's something to think about. PS3 Forums Journals. Here we can post our day to day, week to week personal accounts. No one can reply to our posts but us. It would be a forum just like anyother but again only our acounts are readable, not replyable. It has been very sucessful at a couple of other sites...this is something to consider.

Hmmm interesting idea. Can you direct me to any existing examples where this has worked well?

[Blake]

I'll pm you...

[gaming ultima]

cant u just post a link, i want to see this on other sites as well because im curious

[Blake]

I'll pm you also, sorry...Im a bit shady about posting the link.

Dont worry about the link Blake, its vital in this thread in order to continue discussion of the topic.

Sorry gaming ultima...I er kinda forgot. Rebon took things into his own hands though.

You'll see there are many many journals if you just set everything back to the beggining. Look at the bottom of the forums and you should see what I mean.

Meh not sure about the idea really. I dont think anyone wants to read about the trivialities of my day to day life to be honest. Especially if I kept posting for months and months...

k
how come you didn’t want to post the link in the first place anyway?
i had a look on that site and i am starting to like the idea allot, as I’m not the kind of person that opens up much, not 2 my very best friends that I have known for like 8 years, not to my sister not 2 my parents not 2 anyone at all, at least not totally anyway and the anonymity that this site offers might let me do that, and as they say its good to get things off your chest. I don’t know though i spose it depends on how things turn out
so what does the staff members think?
maybe you could give it a trial period of a month or something?

[Blake]

Well you dont even have to include trivial issues. Say maybe you went to the auto parts store and picked up stuff for your car, you went golfing...you did absolutely nothing. Read some of the stuff in those peoples journals...they dont often include the embarassing or flat out depressing. And Morph believe it or not people do read those journals...I mean look at the collum where it tells you how many reads a specific journal has. When members become well known on a message board, they're day to day activities interest people.

As for not wanting to put the link up...it was a PS2 site so I wasnt sure about it.

Hey, um, what happened to this thread? I know its kinda late cuz it was may and all, but i think that would be a great idea. Problem is it can induce spam...not everybody knows that their is a large "edit" button on top of your post.

So anyway, i think it could be like only 1 post. It should all be edited onder that post for one week. Then make a new post, at least thats what ill do if this goes through.

There can also be some eligible Hall Of Shame posts in there

Then again, a moron could come on the boards and talk about how he had s** with his wife or somthin....thats somthing i dont wanna know about, nor, im sure, do any of you...


Thats a drawback .

I dont think anyone wants to read about the trivialities of my day to day life

Err, morph, thats cuz you have no life :P
lol, jk. Take no offence.

Err, morph, thats cuz you have no life :P

I had to post that lol

[Blake]

I still think it would be a good idea. Concerning spam and out of control posts, Im sure me and the admins could handle it.

[Dragonlance]

Yeah, lol, i read the thread about deleting posts for the heck of it .
Yeah, forgot about the lock and the kill off ability you guys have. What do morph and rebon think? Maybe i should PM them...

[Rebon]

April payments will be sent out when I get back! =)
