Question Do blogs take away from forums

I was checking out http://www.mtbr.com today. A Mt biking site with a very large forum. It looks like they just added some blog software to their VB forum. I saw alot of people blogging about stuff that would usually be posted in their "passion" forum. Kind of like a general forum.

What do you think about user Blogs attached to forums. Does it take away from the forum?

I don't know if it takes away from the forum. I think you can use blogs in a "right" manner, where it doesn't take away from the forum. Remember there are a lot of forums that have a large amount of members and post also have a chat room. In a way it is kinda of the same thing.

I like blogs to be a part of a forum, even if it's just a seperate board liek I've got. It separates personal day to day ramblings from the other conversation. It's not a huge deal if these things make it into community chat really, but it gives the place a bit more focus that way.

It also depends on the size and activity of your board I guess. Splitting it up to much can make smaller forums look bare

I'm not entirely sure the script on that site is vblogetin

it has a blog.php if you see vblogetin on my site, it's a blog/ folder

but ya, vblogetin is 50, and then another 50 for branding, i think
