Shiny Media, who recently launched the football (soccer to you non-believers) blog Who Ate All the Pies, recently opened up their fashion forums. The forums are an addendum to all the Shiny women’s sites, according to the launch post at girly gadget blog Shiny Shiny.
It’s always interesting to see what happens when you add a discussion forum to a comment-enabled blog. Usually I’d say it’s a pretty bad idea, but since Shiny Media seems to use the forums to link their women’s sites together it might just work.

I know I find it a little odd too. But we were geting so many requests from readers that we caved in and have given it a go. It is already driving traffic to the blogs so it appears to be working in that capacity.
Cheers for the plug

It’ll be interesting to follow the activities on the forum. Generally I think forums are a great idea, but as I wrote in the post it’s always a gamble when it comes to blogs.
Good luck to you!
