The forum hasn't been as successful as I had hoped (although still receives hits, it doesn't get as many cheat posts) so I am considering bringing back the blog and leaving the forum up at the same time. If I did do this, there would be some changes in the way the blog and forum are managed: - I (Slidoo) would not post very often, but I would manage the general aspects of the blog and forum.
- Because of his long-term commitment to the website, Pumaa would become head author (and would help me choose new authors.)
- Users would now earn blog author spots by showing dedication on the forum. This means that users would first have to be very active in posting cheats on the forum, and eventually would possibly be promoted to blog author.
- Most blog authors would also receive mod on the forum after they have proven to be trustworthy.
If this does happen, I want the forum to be used just as much as the blog is, with lots of posts being made. Like I said, you will have to earn author by posting cheats on the forum, so that will probably help with the post count.

You could have a good sized image link above the posts linking to the forum. I think you had something like that when Animal Jam Community first reopened. If it was well advertised as a way to become an author, I'm sure many people would join.

Wait.. But if the blog reopens, what should you do to let people know AJC opened again? I think it kind of got lost in time, and there are MILLIONS of new jammers who don't know about the wonders of AJC. Do you have a plan to get the blog up and running again? I'm sure Snowyclaw would love to help, and Pumaa could post about it, and probably Kinyonga. Hopefully if this happens, you can get people to view! OH and put a followers button up! I want to follow by Email or by Blogger!
Happy Jamming! ~Zach94

Last time AJC reopened it all happened so fast. Remember, it gets hundreds/thousands of unique viewers from google.

Hmm.. I see Pumaa. I was just considering since it has been a while and AJ has achieved 10,000,000 Jammers, that at least a bunch of them wouldn't know the blog. But with help from those unique viewers, you guys should be able to get the blog running smoothly soon.

Of the large portion of AJ users, only a small percentage actually read blogs; I've closed and reopened AJC multiple times, still managing to have success each time, and I don't think this time will be an exception.
Even when closed, the blog still gets hundreds if not thousands of hits a day, so hopefully it won't be a problem.
I'm working on getting the blog up so it should be open in a week or so.

Well its up to you then. I think Jammer Central is finally done. I would *probably* be able to help out. You know, there is a whole lot of money to be earned through a blog like that. Why not sign it up for AdSense?
