Personally i would like to see some sections added to the forums. Maybe something like an entertainment one that could include movies, tv, sports, and video games. Most of what is on here now is very specific and blog related, which alienates a lot of people.

EDIT: btw here is an example of a very active forum i know of www.frihost.com

Yea i looked at that once

Are we doing better now with the forums?

I think the steeple has improved tremendously over the past month. The whole blog skin has made it more atractive while still keeping its easy to manuever basic feel, I dislike clutered sites. I like the new blog set up. My only thing is, i still feel the forums have room for growth, not very active but we are a newer site. If any one has an ideas to help traffic/ return visits, I would be interested in hearing them.

i'm liking the look of the forums.  A little color, and grid.  It's looking good
