I currently own www.GamersCommunity.net . I am not sure what to do with it. I was thinking of making it into a Playstation community rather than a gaming community in general. But I was also thinking about using CustomCMS and creating a full playstation sites but though that I should start off with a forums first and once I get a few thousand members I can make it into a full site with downloads, gallery, reviews, cheat codes, arcade, etc. Any tips or ideas for the site's future will be appreciated. Thank You.
In my opinion, if you are doing a gaming forum, I think you should make it a console specific forum. Reason? Game console fans are major fanboys, at least most of them. Having a multi-console forum would probably just cause a bunch of flaming and arguments, causing a community that isn't very desirable. However, your domain name makes you think it is for ALL gamers, so if you weren't going to do a forum, then you should do all consoles and PC. There are many sites out there already that try to list all kinds of news about video games, so a "gaming news" site may not be the best of ideas. Try to think of something unique, and just think of it this way..."Go big, or go home".
Instead of a specific console such as the "PlayStation 3" what if I aim it at PlayStation in general such as the PS2, PS3, PSP, etc?
Make it anything relating to gaming, if it was ps3community, then okay, but since it's gaming then anything relating to gaming should work.
I would move the general discussions section to below the community news & info. In a site with multiple draws (xbox, playstation, and PC) like this likely a general place with some off topic ranting and a mix of users from all sections will get the most posts. Also the ad for hosting in your header is ok, but blend it. Put the background there to match or at least center it or something. Makes the page looked chopped up.
