Default Re: Create a sub-forum for blogs

Jelsoft, the developers of vBulletin have an integrated blog system in development as we speak.
That's good to know. It's probably best then to wait until that has been released rather than expending the effort to try and create a pseudo blog.

I'd vote for something like "My Multiple Orgasm Trigger Adventure". It gets Search Engine - meaningful key phrase indexed and imho journey may seem like a bit of a trudge, whereas adventure it seems to me has more zing. What do you think?
The word Adventure, to me, implies something that is exciting, fast paced, high energy, and full of danger. Perhaps I've seen too many action-adventure movies! I also don't think it's a term that is commmonly used by other members when describing their progress with the protocol. I may be wrong though, you would be a better judge of that. Yes, Adventure certainly sounds more exciting, but it may be interpreted as a form of hype. For me, my KSMO progress is slow, but I'm still experiencing new and exciting things from time to time. So, to me, this is a journey.

??? I don't understand what you mean by this. What's difficult about it? Please give a link reference and details about where and why you get stuck.
The link I would provide is just to the main page of the wiki, so that won't help much. When you go to the main page of the Wiki, how can you view all of the content that has been entered? There is a link to a page about what's been written so far, but the links to other user's blogs in that document are hardcoded. As entries are added by new users, this page must be manually updated. The Recent Changes link can be used but if there hasn't been any posts for a while, nothing displays.

In the forum, everything is exposed: you see the sub-forums, you see new and old threads. It's easy to browse around. The Wiki is not a forum by design, it's used to manage and link documents. When using Wikipedia after a Google search, it shows me the document that I'm looking for, but I don't see an A-Z pane or some other sort of navigation where I can quickly jump to any of the other topics, related or not, that it contains. All I see are related links to other documents.

Since all of that content DID successfully migrate into the way cool vBulletin software we're now running, vB provides VERY easy to use ability to move and merge posts and threads. It still requires some effort though on the part of a volunterr moderator/editor to get it done though.

I wouldn't necessarily call it simple but it's a heck of a lot easier than danged-nigh impossible as it was in Akiva WebBoard!
Yes, moving a thread is probably very easy. Finding it is another story! To save on the effort involved an existing user could probably make a request providing the forum links involved.

Hope this helps!
