I've tried it out at my forums on sheepownage.com and its working quite well. Not as active as I hoped, but the users seem to be quite happy about the format thus far.

I've made it so that only the Blog Owner can post threads, but anyone even unregistered users can post comments/replies into the thread.

IMO its a fine temporary solution for the blog integration into vBulletin.

Sure, it doesn't have customization that some people's definition of a blog has, but for the people on my site, they don't really care to have all that. They just want a place to spill their guts, so to speak.

Agreed my users aren't that interested in advanced features, most just wanted a place ot rant and rave their thoughts.
