Hello folks. I wanted to put our little community blog on the communal chopping block. Our site is cVillain.com . We have gotten pretty popular in the last year and are finding an incredible amount of commentary on our site. We have made some major efforts to create a design that is engaging and user friendly, but we are running into limitations with what we can do with the boatloads of commentary.
A few unique things about cVillain.com:
1. We let users submit and write posts. We approve them, but there is an open invitation to be on the front page.
2. We have so much commentary, a lot of the value in comments is too deep for a casual reader.
3. We run "Free For All" posts to give people an open thread to talk about whatever they want.
We are thinking about implementing BB press and asking people to use the forums to do more topics. What do you think? How do we improve our blog to make it more community oriented? How do you support valuable commentary vs the noise?
Please be mean! Thanks!
