		<description>@DRB: I thought about that and came to the conclusion to use both. Comments here for the direct stuff concerning the posting (and all the praise... ;-) ). where it is visible for the "Oh, sorry, I am just looking..." people.  And it's easy to drop off a comment or a trackback. 

The forum for the in depth stuff. And that will be a small crowd I think. But with threads and search tools in the forum the discussion can go way deeper than in the comments here. And perhaps it becomes a good source of information. 

I put the bar high for getting in with the "I agree" screen, the captcha and the mail confirmation to keep the spammers out. So only really interested people will come in. 

I take some pride in the subscriber numbers, just now they are about 100 below the "Pod feed Top 100" list - and creeping slowly up. But I don't "need" high forum traffic for my ego. 

For me it's a tool for planning the shows with a chance of getting input before I make a blunder ;-) , keeping track of ideas and skimming your brains for ideas. You wouldn't gues how much traffic (and subcribers? :-) ) a posting like the "Compile 2.5.2" generates.</description>

		<description>From an organizational point of view I would not allow comments here (at the episode posting) but rather have a link to a forum thread; one for each episode and/or posting. 

The advantage is that all comments/conversations are in one location and can easily be searched using a search tool as well.

The disadvantage is that (presumably) one would need an account to comment whereas now anyone can comment. Along the same lines I would imagine fewer people would comment feeling it too much trouble to head over to the forums (despite a link in each episode to the relevant forum thread.

So this is not a recommendation but rather a few things to consider.

...oh yeah and congratulations : )</description>
