[QUOTE=kipper;20503047][*]Bloggers will be self-promoting their blogs, turning it into a commercial forum. I can see anything from, "See my blog for details on..." to, "Please visit my blog," etc. There's enough of the blogger self-promotion in signatures and such.

as a relatively new member, I value the actual experience of members; and can then find blogs with analytics elsewhere. If the TOS indicated the blogger content had to be substantially available on FT, I see a blog forum as a handy place to consolidate research. If all we get is a series of teases and redirects, this would diminish the 'community' aspect of FT.
