"Building your identity within your community", yes of course I'm all for, but where is the "community" part if the forumers can't talk about it with you? I really don't understand, writing a blog is a self-centered action, I don't say it in a negative way at all, but it is.
For me, each function, each thread, each upload on aarin is motivated by the relation to the other. You upload because someone will download, you download because someone uploaded, you write and read threads that will be read and are written by other forumers. Why do you want to write your blog? For a cathartic purpose? You can do that in a real blog. To let people know who you really are? The chit chat section can be used this way, and if you want to let people know, then you must accept the receiving part, not only the giving part, at least in a forum.
