    Blog or not?

    Hi ...

    I've being tempted to by the Blog addon, but I notice by visiting other forums bigger than mine, that members do no use them a lot.

    What are the benefits of having this?

    It totally depends on your member base and site niche. I have 2 blog license. One is busy and members love to use it. On the other one there is totaly 2 blog entries so it is an actual waste

    IMO, the only people use it are n00bs who get lost and think it's a forum.

    I wish i never installed it.

    I like the blogs on vbsetup and would install it again if I hadn't yet.

    I think the blogs would be better restricted to a user group of staff only or selected writers. A lot of spam and low quality content ends up in there that would be better positioned within the forum (except for the spam part of course).

    That's what I think ... and the same with profile messages.
    I had them turn on, then turn off, now they're on again!
    Lets see how it goes!
