User blog comment:Zapwire/Wikia's new "features" are bugs/@comment-8072-20091024042918

Here's what your missing:

1. You can have blogs disabled on your wiki. 2. You can set and enforce a blog policy on your wiki. Over at Redwall, the policy for blogs entails certain topics ONLY. If you write a blog about how your day went or something, it would get deleted because that's a prohibited topic.

People at Redwall use blogs for essay writing and fan fiction, and I use it for announcing Redwall-related news. I love the feature.

Also, we don't use forums. I find forums useless myself. Forums tend to degenerate into "general discussion" places.
