		<description>Exactly right, I was thinking about having a forum on my site but I dont want to distract people from the content, it&#039;s already a community with the comments on the blog. 

Ultimately its personal preference dont you think?

		<description>Great post....you have covered all the points. I was thinking of attaching a forum to my aviation website, and I knew it would do well. But then, due to a paucity of time, I sold the website and for 9 times my investment. And it would have been even more if i had a forum.....but now I can&#039;t do anything but repent :p</description>

		<description>I agree with Ryan, because most of the time RSS Subscribers don&#039;t even visit the site, unless to read comments and such. So, many people mistake the number of your subscribers to be a reflection on the site&#039;s activity - that may be somewhat true but it&#039;s not very accurate.

The last thing you need, is for a new visitor to view your website, enjoy it but get &#039;thrown off&#039; when they see an inactive forum!

Still, i think even if the most noobiest of forum managers (like myself) follow Alex&#039;s steps, even we can do wonders ;)</description>
