Yeah, I'm sure there are good points to them for some communities, but since we're a pretty verbose bunch already, the need for it would have to be relatively specific.You make a good point there... Blogs are a lot like forums in a way, anyway. I just considered this because the new DBZF forum has blogs now.
The new articles feature in XenForo might be great for that. Literally a forum post that is formatted to look like an article/blog.I have considered having a blog at the front end of the forum but it would need to be more populated and there would need to be writers for content. Not something that is possible right now.
