I think a sense of community is really important in terms of getting people involved and coming back for more. High-traffic sites often have most of their traffic coming from repeat visitors who keep coming back, and community is usually what draws them back. I agree strongly with Mike’s comment.

They are not only fun and entertaining to read, but they are often product testimonials which help other members make buying decisions.. which are probably critical these days for converting sales.
