After trying to expand the possibilities, I think I'm gonna go his way. In my opinion, there is harm in both ways, because those who post questions on blogs don't receive much attention, but those who want a personal playground would get too much attention on Discussion feature, or would receive even less attention putting it as a subpage (kinda like too hot and too cold porridge). And I get that; who knows if I want to post blogs that are sometimes fairly for personal playground, but would rather received small attention and feedback, even just voluntary attention.

Supporting of disabling the blogs would give us more convenience from the staff team, as sometimes we might not have to worry much about faulty technical problems or even some explicit informations. Furthermore, there's plenty of ways you can get around. We have theory board on forums, we have discussion features for personal playground that needs more attention, we have subpages for personal playgrounds that asks for nearly no volunatry attention unless needed. Message wall is there for the attention between two people or more. Fanon blogs should go to the fanon wiki. Even off-topic or meme stuffs can be put on Discord chat or even Discussions and we'll roll with it anyway. So technically, disabling blog post would not bring any immediate consequences.

I still fully believe that blogs can be a playground for certain people, for those who love such function even when it's outdated, and as far as I can consider, blog can be a place where the author can have any degree of attention. However, I think the high-security level of the wiki and a wide variety of alternatives, plus the potential limited topic of Undertale has heavily hampered the use of blogs at this point. That's mostly why blogs has to be considered this way IMO. Had the wiki been more liberal, I'd abstain from supporting this idea (for sure). However, as far as it sits, with everyhing already in a very good order, disabling blog posts would be a way to simplify things a lot. And I'll be honest, it pains me to support the idea.

P.S: I kid you not I considered this three times and my first two consideration was neutral
