Default Would PTF benefit from blogging software?
The same company (Jelsoft, LTD.) that makes the software that PTF runs (vBulletin) also makes a [paid] add-on that allows users to have their own blogging pages or something...

Fast Start

vBulletin Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar vBulletin editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.

Fully Featured

It is a feature-rich blog application, with support for fully formatted WYSIWYG posts, attachments, comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall vBulletin system.

Blog Home Page

Available via a single click from any vBulletin page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected by the administrator or at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.

Syndication and Subscriptions

Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for vBulletin subscriptions enables users to join their favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.

Profile Support

Member blogs are integrated with the vBulletin profile system – profile information is displayed alongside blog posts, and existing profile pages are enhanced with information about blog activity.

Blog Control Panel

The Blog Control Panel empowers members to control every aspect of their blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.
The reason I'm asking you guys if you think PTF would benefit from it is because it is costly, and I don't want to get it if it's just taking up space. Would anyone use it?

Thanks.

AJ

No, I think that it would be a waste of space, thats what MySpace, and Facebook is for.

yeah I'm pretty sure nobody would use it. And with PTF-Space and everything we're already trying to become another facebook/myspace. So I'd say it'd be a waste of space

Who's Lunchbox? I know you're not new. You must've changed your name.

Anyway, I doubt anyone here would use it. I don't think you should stop adding features to the site, but make them free things that people will use or things to pay for that people want so badly that they may buy it (such as VIP membership...even though only one person actually bought it, it worked, didn't it?)

Thank you everyone for voicing. I have enough opinions and am able to close this thread.

Lunchbox is T_S_L.

Actually, no one bought it. All were contest winners (except Hatchet, he gave me a really good laugh).
