I think that all of the things, like chatrooms, distract people from your blog. That's a bad thing, because that's where your ads are, unless you can put some ads in the chatroom..

Would a chat room really get enough traffic to make it worth while?

I think what he is referring to here is a poll...

There are already lots of blogs like that, which is the reason why I think a forum would not work.

Why don't you do a question and answer thing? Most of the pro bloggers seem to do that when they're feeling lazy and have run out of ideas. Might be fun.

Newsletters are better than chat anyways

I am also eagerly waiting for the new theme. I hope it is no way similar to JohnChow.com

I am also against chat room. Because the problem is that some of the people will use the chatroom instead of the comments section. Comments are always available for others to read, whereas chat logs are not.

It's all about experimenting, I am sure Mr. Cow knows well about how projects can truly be time consuming so therefore I think he should at least try everything once. If it doesn't work out, keeping as it is now won't really do anything else to this blog.

Newsletter would be an interesting idea to try out.

That is a great point, maybe Cow should do that first, and then maybe a forum, maybe.

Yes, a forum seems the way to go. To keep it separated from the blog, we would get it on a new domain and not a subdomain. Who's any good with forum software? And what's recommended guys? Vbulletin? phpBB? SMF?

We'd be looking for moderators too obviously so all that are interested say Moo!

A forum would be really cool and a great way for others to share in their money making on their blogs in one place, besides the comments.

OK, 50/50.

"Computer, take away two wrong answers."

Removed - Chat room - Pretty universal opinion here.

Removed - Leaving things the same - That just wouldn't be the Cow way would it?

It sounds as if you were to start a forum with out changing the blog and publish a wrap-up/newsletter everyone will be happy.

Of course, you can still call Sly ;)

No need for a chatroom, as for a forum, moderators will do the trick. I am on here enough to be one ^_~

Haha. Call me! :)

Hah great, everyone has a different opinion! How are we gonna pick now? We used our audience help. Perhaps it's time to call someone now or do the 50/50.

Can't help but agree here too, forums would be cool, but I like JohnCow as is...
