Yes, oh God, yes. And obviously it's working, so huge success.
So basically, my thought was to have this be used as a forum so that the non-blogger community members of 8Asians.com can interact with each other and talk about stuff and have debates that everyone else does on a forum. Maybe if people want to plug their indie bands (I'm looking to you, Goh/Burt) or web sites or something, or if they want to bring something up that isn't necessarily blog or Asian related.
Open to suggestions on how to make this thing better, though.
