Thats a good idea, we should be talkingabout that.

How about a "Get to know the mods" section?

You are too good to us ioi.

Hey, everyone loves mods! We're so sexy in our nice red font...

Blog away my friend :)

I agree that community blogs might be a little bit too much. It would probably detract from the forums.

There is a place for editorial content, though. But you've got people for that; they just seem to not be writing anything. Or maybe I just don't notice it mixed in with the news. It would be nice to have news and editorials CLEARLY seperated, something most gaming sites don't begin to bother doing.

I think that considering that many threads are kind of like mini blogs (at least the first post) that it would be nice if there was a way to look at a member's account and see what threads they have created. I understand that there is a thread history, but this would be a focused search just for the threads created by that user. That in itself would be kind of like a blog, wouldn't it?

 That does actually bring up the I would like a better way to see a persons post history.  Sometimes I want to go back and find previous posts that I made but it can be a little difficult if I can't remember the title of the thread.

You don't have enough moderators for a community blog.

I say no. It effectively competes with posts on the main forum - and instead of people having to properly think about issues, and respond to others - everyone runs off to their own little corner, to blab about whatever they want.

People can effectively do this at the moment through the forum (off-topic, or other) - its just more open, and more accountable.

I also personally think the focus has already shifted away from the "main forum threads" a little too much (maybe this is the intention?), and that blogs will extend this further?
