So is this gonna become a reality for Neowin Members? Maybe those who subscribe to a premium account? I'd be willing to pay for it :D

The message board is 2.0.3 and the Blogging add-on is finished soooooo....

:cool:

Imo it would probably place more stress on the server over time, considering the number of hits most blogs tend to get, your just adding to the server load. Granted.. most blogs arent going to be massive hits and your not going to have a thousand hits per day, but more people will come to see that blog, people that may have never come to neowin otherwise.

(mind you that could be a positive or a negative)

Limiting it to subscribers might be an option, however I still forsee some problems.

this is my rational, flawed or not. *drops 2c into the jar*

I don't think it would be that more stressful than someone looking at a thread in the forum. I mean I don't know the blog architecture but I woulo assume that its basically the same way a post is stored in the dB.

My post isnt so much about the fact that people would view the blog post, but more to do with the increase in traffic that would come with such a feature.

You cannot tell me it wouldnt attract traffic that would normally not visit neowin (and some traffic that probably never would, except for the existance of the blog system), so why add to the server load when you dont need to?

(there may be ways to compensate for this, you might get more ad clicks and you might make people pay a little more to use the system. but this would be up to the admins)

But it would be pretty cool with a neowin blog, thats for sure =)
