Encyclopedia SpongeBobia

Ahoy-er-er, it's PlanKrab, and I know this is a different kind of blog than what I usually make, but I realized recently that I haven't been editing all that much on ESB because I haven't been trying to do things I am really interested in. I kept wanting to give episode ratings and make in depth reviews of episodes. Sure, some people might like to see that, but honestly who is going to read my wall of text reviews? I'm not even sure if I would read them. I used to think that I was just losing interest in SpongeBob and ESB, but that's not really true. I haven't even scratched the surface of what I can really do here. For the past few months, I have also had problems with choosing a rating scale. Then, yesterday, it hit me. It was after I watched No Free Rides during my rewatch of the whole SpongeBob series, and I hadn't rated an episode in around a week or so. I thought to myself, "that was a great episode." But I have THREE ratings on my current rating scale that mean "great"! And I had no idea which one it would be. Why was I trying to decide if an episode was high, mid, or low great? Why couldn't I just say it was a great episode and leave it at that? That's when I realized I don't need a super complicated rating scale. I don't need to have ratings that mean "amazing", or "bad" when I can flat out say that they are that rating. I don't need to be a critic. I love SpongeBob too much to be one. I can just say what I think of an episode without thinking about it if I have a simpler scale. To everyone who got annoyed with me switching my rating scale, you can be glad that I am not going to use them anymore. Complicated scales just aren't for me. I was just trying to imitate other people on the wiki, and I don't need to do that when I can do my own thing.

From now on, my rating scale will be:
Amazing
Great
Good
Meh
Bad
Terrible

Simple I know, but this is what I think will work for me. I don't ever want to switch from this scale. If I ever think about switching again I will need to give my brain a huge lecture.


But will I still share my opinions? Heck yeah! It's not the only thing I'm going to be doing here though. I'm going to try to be more active and friendly with the ESB community, as well as edit more in general. That will include talking on message walls more, going to chat more often, participating more in games, and also doing more article edits. I used to do these things more when I was still new to ESB, but now I feel like I have lost touch with my older self, and I need to get more involved on ESB to return to how I used to be. So yes, I will finally try to be more active, and there is no better time to do so then during these tough times that the real world is going through right now. And by the way, I am still reviewing, just in a different way more suited for me, and in a way that is NOT AS LONG AND BORING TO READ AND WRITE. Look forward to a season 1 review blog soon!
