Hi All,

Question for all you seasoned forum/website owners.

I am almost done building my website/forums/cms, however i am still on the fence about one thing.

Should I leave the blog enabled or should I disable it? So basically, what advantage would this feature bring to the website and its members?

Unless I am missing something, what can a member post on a blog that he can't do in the forums?

It's just an extra feature that you could offer to your members if they want their own personal blog but don't want to install their own wordpress/etc on their own domain or sign up for a free blogging site.

It's completely up to you if you think it's useful or not.

It gives me a place to list the changes I make to the forum - upgrades, mods, etc. We tell users to take personal ramblings to their blog - the forum is for discussion.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
