If I understood it correctly, the blogs may be replaced by forum posts? If so, I would recommend to leave the blogs the way they are because some of them are pretty long (not only may own) and soon the forum will be flooded with threads and posts about almost everything so that people hardly read longer posts. Moreover, discussions and moderating in forums get out of hand very often whereas the blog of a member is seemingly kind of a "private" and own thing, if you know what I mean. Of course, not private and admins can interfere anytime, but I have the feeling that blogs are much more respected than forum posts. And am I correct that in a forum there are different rules concerning the length and subjects?

I think that an own blog is an attractive option for users on sites, so I think it would be a good idea to keep them because it's easier to express oneself on a blog rather than in a forum in which people will complain about the wrong posts in the wrong threads, the length, typos, content and whatnot.

The other changes sound interesting.
