Look... Make a MW2 site just like this...


^^ That would be a waste of time and money. However making iam branching into other games and not focusing on ut as much has a shot.

I'm pretty sure it will become a lot more than 3 threads if Danjel has any say in it.. and there is no new site made for CoD and MAG.  I can imagine CoD and MAG fans potentially being invited over here and so on (in a similar fashion to how I was invited/ told to join here via RTO)  After all, I think F.U.K. was talking about recruiting people on CoD.  We could easily just start with their new recruits joining.  If they join and find the site appealing, then they might tell others and the others will tell more and.. with more and more CoD/ MAG people, there will surely be more just than 3 threads.

though it might make the site less appealing to new members and everyone in general.  Sites that take longer to scroll through are generally not well liked.

Have a button that makes the particular gameforums pop up or in.

Possible solution: Make a debate sub-forum to Fists of Fury.  Also, I'd like to see Fists of Fury taken out of the UT3 area, since could also be a place for feuding in other games and general discussion.  Anyways, I'd love to debate about what I support and not support.

Silver J-17 those sound like good ideas.  But come to think of it, are there really enough people that visit this site to make it worth changing everything?  How many people who are members of this site came initially only because of UT3....I would say everyone.  The only way you are ever going to get people who play other games (and who know nothing of UT3) is to support tournaments, like Gamebattles does, otherwise where is the incentive to leave an active site like Gamebattles to come to a site like this one to talk about their game?

how about a seperate forum to discuss shoes? me and drokes would be in heaven! Big smile

okay.. in all seriousness i like the forums just the way they are, but as more people are branching out into other games it makes sense to tailor the site to the members interests.

i like the review section idea, but not just for games, how about  books, albums and movies too? and if you want to take it further from the original gaming concept maybe even a debate section where were we can argue about important stuff (i.e should abortion be legal, the death penalty etc) rather than the usual UT3 bull****. it'd be nice to have debate on here about something meaningful and the one thing everyone on the site has in common is the fact they love a good argument!


Some people are alive simply because it’s against the law to kill them.

My idea is..

Step 1: Post a Thread in "General Video Games"

Step 2: If it gets enough support, make a forum for it in "Other Video Games."

Step 3 (which might of not been thought of before): If it garners extraordinary support and/ or the forum maintains a steady activity for one to two months, make a section for said game.

All we'd have to do then is define "enough support" and "extraordinary support."

hopefully you can change the look , have sections for FPS , fighting, racing , rpgay, just have a moderator for each section, UT3 is only one game with a small community. either that or make a really fancy flash intro for the site

It either could be like General Form and below would be clan bases or a General form and a clan base forum.  Of course, this might seem a bit unfair, so maybe UT3's forums should all be merged to.  After all, I don't really see a point for PS3, 360, and PC forums, especially when the latter two aren't so active anymore.  The clans in the 360 Clan Base would be moved into the PS3 clan base forum.

How about this: A section on the site where people could write up reviews for games (Anyone could write them, but obviously they'd have to be as unbiased as possible), and/or a section for tips/cheats/strategies for those games.

Obviously they won't get as many subforums as UT3 until there's at least some activity going on in there.

Tried it already... just think its time for the site to have a major rethink even if it means it being down for a few days..

EDIT: Clans are playing more than UT3.

Amen, good idea!! We already have a positive base to start from why not get more people on here!

kali of course he can... if I'm asking for them. However I'm giving WOPR suggestions... like he asked.

I don't really give two sh1ts about what Drokun needs to complain about or write off today.

And Drokun the dead games forum is quite a good idea, it might take forever but at least you would have committed players who want it to work. But yes it would take forever and therefore as it sounds like WOPR wants something new to do, why not take a chance on covering a new game? 

Its just a waste of time trying to promote dead games at least if he makes a popular forum for a popular game he could sell it on (possibly)

I signed up for the fragged nation and that was one of the final straws for me... which is why I think his efforts would be far more rewarded from doing something else. I really don't understand why its so hard to see what I'm saying.

Any new game will automatically be added to ConsoleGaming and GameBattles as well. Clans who were already on that site will just sign their team up on the new ladder on the same site, and they won't have to make a new account and it's an easy transition. Besides that they already know what to expect and with the blind match finder it's easy to get a match without too much notice.

If you can't pick up new games what's left, dead games? I suppose you could build up the community from unpopular games, although that will take forever.

Just look at how many signed up for the UT3 FraggedNation ladders, even signing up on that site is too hard for our community. Even with a guide. People signed up on a ladder site just had to register once and from there can join any game they like, with 100+ clans ranked on the most popular ones.


What is the point anyway of dividing up several games over several sites if you can just all the games on 1 site.

If UT3 had just 5% of the COD community aware that it was a good game then you might see more than 16 players online at peak times. 

So to conclude (in my conversation with WOPR) I think your time would be well spent putting your efforts into a project with more interest and something you enjoy playing. I'm not saying it has to be COD but the MAG game might be an idea. You have already shown you can network well with fragged nation... you might be able to make yourself some proper money if you put your efforts into a project that has potential to expand rather than just decrease slowly until only Drokun is online playing with himself.

danjel8 clearly suggests here that WOPR should do a project 'he' (not drokun) enjoys.

Are you actually medically cla**es as a retard?

In my other posts I've said clearly that it doesn't have to be for COD. Something that WOPR enjoys is my suggestion. I don't know why you felt the need to stick your nose in but thanks for your input, its truly positive as ever!

Seriously Drokun I don't advise people to ever take drugs but it sound like you really need something to lighten your life up.

If I'd make a site with about 20 CoD players, would you get excited for it if I told you it may have 16(!!) team tournaments if we're really lucky, while established sites have tried and tested systems, a huge clanbase, 64 team tournaments etc.. There's just no reason for players to come here, only way they might come is if friends told them to sign up.

Also iAMgaming is supposed to be a multi-gaming site, it'd be easier to just make the subforums like the UT3 section is right now rather than make an entire new site and pay for hosting there.
