    Howdy,
    So my son went to summer computer camp and was learning some coding and designing flash games, and was getting very enthusiastic so I decided to do a summer project with him to teach him some things about web publishing that he wouldn't get through traditional means. I got him a domain and a vBulletin license and set up this new game forum for him. I've run successful forums before, but never had any luck with ones about gaming. I know we need a new logo, and the forum structure we set up was based on his own personal interest. So far he's just asked a few friends to visit. If any of you have a moment, please have a look and comment on what we might do to enhance the site, get it going a bit, or just sign on and say hi to him he'd be thrilled to have someone join his site. But, generally, those of you with successful gaming forums, what you would recommend doing to give it some life?
    Thanks!

    Looks like a good new site :)

    I would recommend creating a favicon and playing around with the forum categories a bit. Maybe the consoles should all be under one "parent" category?
