...of course, I disagree with this majority, and the majority's been wrong plenty of times in the past. I really see no point in keeping them as they fill no purpose or need that is not already filled by the forums. Anything good that can be done with blogs can be done there and anything not-so-good is just getting done in the blogs. The problem I see there is that in the forum things go off and get stupid. Fast.

Plus blogs are there, they're easy to access, easy to reference. In the case of the many how-to blogs by IGBTG I feel like it'd be a lot harder of a situation to reference that material if it werent in the blog format.

Are all those how-tos topical to Creepypastas? If so, how many "how-tos" are there, really? "How to write an original story," "How to write a spin-off story," "How to proofread"... ? And if not, why do they need to be on this site?

Also keep in mind that this is but one example (and a rather specific instance of one) of many. Are there many other situations where this argument rings true and something, one, needs to be posted at all, and two, would not be suited to the forums?
