Forums Or Blogs?

[jacktheking]

So which do you like more? Forums or Blogs? I like Forums than Blogs because members can lot more thing than on blogs. Members can make topics and discuss with others members there.

If a Blog is set-up for others to post then members can create their own blogs and therefore the same as making their own topics. Blogs aren't necessarily restricted to the blog owner making all the blogs.

I personally hate most blogs.

Also, I love forums, so forums win.

I think that most people don't even know what a forum is, though.

i've actually noticed that as well, I've seen people refer to the comments section on a blog or a news article as a forum..

It is kind of annoying, but I guess that technically, the usage is accurate when you consider the traditional definition of the word.

Anyway, I prefer forums mainly because I like talking to people and with the way that the topics are laid out, they are similar to the way a conversation would be had if you were face to face.

I think that blogs are useful if you are posting information that will more or less have some comments but no real dialogue.

I like blogs, but it really depends on the software used since it might become boring

I'm more of a forum person. I feel that they are more interactive and user friendly. They also give you more expandability.

Admins can also allow members to make their own blogs within the forum itself. I've seen forums utilize a hidden forum for that purpose as well as add ons to the forum's software to allow blogs.. I think IPS at one point charged $75 - $100 for this feature.

Forums are more interactive and can pose the same features as a blog would. Also with forums; you can meet new people, learn new things, etc.

 

[Drac Morbis]

Yes forums rock.  I've always liked them and have run one since at least 1999.

I generally prefer forums because they are community based. Blogs 'can' be as well (Tumblr works off that model), and I do like the site for that, but the conversations are deeper on forums.

 

[J-RAY]

uhhh, It's hard for me to compare them. They are completely different.

I think I prefer to own a blog because the responsibility involved with a forum is nuts!

 

[Black Angel]

I have heard that quite often and I dunno, I never found it to be that big of a deal..

No so much.  Even when my forum was very active I was the only admin/moderator.  I found it quite fun and still do!

 

[Enigma]

Never had much interest in blogs, was always more of a forum person where I would usually be linked to blogs and such for information.

 

[Sardonic Pickle]

I used to be a part of a forum which had a section for blogs, so the both

But yeah, forums for me.

 

[Drac Morbis]

I like blogs so I just installed one on my forum.   Good stuff!

 

[Scarface]

I like forums more, it gives me the opportunity to engage in conversation with members and I find it easy to reply and create threads in forums.
