I registered, not sure how often I'll go there though. There's already a lot of well established sites to talk about games/systems like TrueAchievements, XboxAcheivements, Gamespot, IGN, etc.

I use true achievements for news but I didn't even realize you could chat/post in a forum there.

If it takes off I am sure it will get used, first have to drive in conversations and traffic for it. The goal is for it to become a true achievements or something similar. Step one is bring traffic to a forum, then start working on a front page with articles and information.

The TrueAchievements forum is focused on getting achievements in each game... they have a forum folder called Game Discussion that has 2513 sub-folders for every Xbox 360 & Xbox One game.... it's the same at XboxAchievements. People also ask how to get past certain areas, set up multiplayer game sessions, talk about glitches, etc.

I'm sure there's a similar one for PS3 & 4, but I don't own those systems so I don't look for it.

I didn't mean for my post to sound like I was crapping all over it... i meant it more like you need to find a niche that will draw people to the site. I don't know what that could be though.

Once we can build traffic and get people talking that will be possible. First we have to build traffic to the revenue is there to build everything else. Once its moving along well and has enough traffic that I can contact developers for advanced copies of games to review and etc, that's an easy draw. If you can get an advanced copy and have a review up within 10 hours, you can get lots of clicks and new members through google. I did show shaggy trueachievements as an example because microsoft has actually adapted them into the xbox one for achievement tracking. pretty cool.

Id just like to have it where everyone can congregate and game instead of nothing but angry 12 year olds all over the bored being *******s.

Yeah. I was on hiatus with my back surgery. Went back to a complete, utter mess. Ignored it since

Man I was gaming a lot and then it seemed like the 360 just died out all at once. Most of the games arent updating anymore.

Ok yes, I know, I'll quit being a cheap old man and get the One. lol It's time
