Well it makes sense to me if you want to see journals for people from different communities that there be a place on the RPC which makes that possible. As a hub for the RP community and the various linkshell groups and such it makes sense to me that if people wish to share their journals (whether by adding a link to a stickied post or by creating a thread here somewhere), an option be available here at the RPC to view journals across multiple forum networks or what-have-you.
The more I think about it the more I favor the sticky-with-links idea, but I know there are a handful of freelance/errant RPers who would need a place to post and perhaps the RPC could create a forum for that as well (and perhaps even an internal link to it on the aforementioned sticky). You're still having to forum hop a bit, but it does give some exposure to the linkshells and it does prevent people from having to copy/paste entire journals and double-up entries each time.
I'm also not sure I understand your last line:

Quote:*I should add that I don't like the format of simply 'creating a thread' for a journal, which is what is currently on the RPC.As I understand it, there is no current system on the RPC for journaling. But creating a thread seems most logical to me. I mean, the lodestone blogs were essentially a forum thread in and of themselves, though I suppose their system afforded subthreads in the sense that posts could be commented on in a way that didn't exactly break the flow of progression from one entry to the next. Did you have something specific in mind? Maybe Kylin can find a way of implementing something like that or setting up a section of the RPC (similar to the wiki) tailored specifically for blogging.
