I've thought about bringing the forum back. Because I still have it. Database is in tact etc.... but it wasn't a super active forum - and now I have commenting open on my blog - which to me is just like a forum in many ways.
I feel like I am damned if I do and damned if I don't regarding the forum.
In my niche... I am seeing one site dominate the first 10 results - or more.
And it's just stupid, thin, visitor posted pages -- just seems weird to me. Seems sucky, fishy.... and impossible to rank.
I don't know what's going on with all this Panda, Penguin, ATF and all these other updates.... I just know that is seems sites with BIG money and deep marketing pockets rank and even if you ranked well for years before.... if you don't have the cash to burn - forget it.
