I've just read this thread through from start to finish, and from what I've seen and experienced in my first 24 hours on here is entirely positive. There is a wide ranging knowledge base, opinions get bantered about with very little hostility, and the place is well organised.
As for it dying, then all I have to say is that if this place is dying, then it must have been surreally busy at some point.
As for the frontpage blog idea, I can see the value of it, but I would imagine that the sheer volume of potential reviews would make it unreadable, and I'm sure the admin have better things to do with their free time than to read and critique endless reviews from amateur writers? I know that most fans of particular bands would love to see their views on their heroes aired in public, it's only human nature to want your voice to be heard, but if that resulted in it getting drowned out by the crowd then surely it's not going to work well.
