Hi there

I'm looking to poll the community on whether we should keep blogs. These are basically like wiki pages but can only be created and edited by the user who made the blog, as well as sysops on the wiki.

Generally, these can be problematic. The main issue I have with blogs is that they turn the wiki from an information outlet into a single social network. This becomes a problem, because people join the wiki only to contribute in the blogs, which can get heated and are regularly mismanaged on most wiki's as a result. While I have no issue with people who do that, this is a major issue when the wiki is so small and has few editors.

Let me know your thoughts on this! I'll decide the final outcome after about 3-5 days of discussion.

PS: Due to the fact I am unable to enable any JS scripts on the wiki, I won't include the voting templates here. Plus, I'd like to do this via discussion, rather than a poll. :P
