Having observed the blogs for a while, they seem to be used for theories, fanfics, or asking general questions about the game.

Since theories can be discussed on the forum, and arguably the forum is a better venue for such discussions, there is no specific need to have blogs for this purpose. If users took fuller advantage of the specific features of the blogs (I have only seen a couple of users use any feature which would not be available in a forum post), then keeping blogs would be worthwhile. Absent that, moving it to the forums is better for discussion.

I don't know the policies regarding fanfics. If they don't belong here at all, then there is no reason to keep blogs for that purpose. If they are allowed, then presumably users can find a better place to share their fanfics.

Questions about the game are better reserved for the specific pages on the Wiki or the forum, and questions asked through user blogs are far more likely to go completely unanswered. Removing user blogs would actually be useful in this regard, as it prevents newer users from becoming confused about the usage of the Wiki. Yes, blogs are just used for fanfics and questions, it is rare to see an actual blog on how it is used on this wiki. True true...
