So, some of you know that we have a weekly news blog that gets published on Thursday. This weekly news schedule went smoothly for over a year. Recently, we've been starting to miss these weekly deadlines. This is no one's fault in particular - everyone has busy lives and sometimes, even if you're available, you don't feel like putting the effort into writing a blog. But nevertheless it is happening, and I'd like to see if we can do something to remedy this.

I don't have any particular proposals, but I would be very interested in any ideas people may have. Also, I'd like to encourage anyone - administrator or not - to consider helping us write the weekly news. With some exceptions, the news tends to be written by either Lost Labyrinth or myself; having one or two more users to write it would take a lot of pressure off of the two of us and would ensure that we don't miss weeks.

Ultimately, I think the weekly news blog is a good idea and we should try to keep it going strong. - LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 20:06, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

I'll admit, I rushed out a late news blog today primarily for the sake of having one. Writing a news blog is not an easy task, even if one was to put minimal effort into it, and more users to assist writing would certainly ease the recent lull. Maybe we can start a recruitment drive to get more users onto the news team or something. I don't know how we should go about this nor should we force it on anybody but that's all I got. So right now, my only contribution to this forum is basically me begging for somebody, admin or not, to join up and write news blogs. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 20:14, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
