Not a fan of a private board by the way, because we would be creating a VGPress in a VGPress. It's like Xzibit dawg, we know you like reading videogame news while you reading videogame news, so we made you a VGPress in your VGPress.

LOL


Yeah. I like knowing everyone. I'll all for more users, but I dont want A-holes spoiling the place. I advertise on GAF all the time.

Best thing is advertising if you really want new members. Put a tag in all your sigs for other places, make blogs, PM invite people to a site tour page. That is essential.

Oh and maybe call GGWeekly this instead:

Knights of the Newstable

Where the just discuss weekly news

I'd prefer to ditch the "newspaper" thing. I mean as I've said before it doesn't look that well that the site take inspiration from a dying medium.

One of the site's forefathers.

Play fighting games!

there was also a time when "we" were accused of being Nintendocentric but i think that has to have been put to rest by know as it's clear that there is no one company afiliated agenda.  every bit of news is reported and linked to regardless of company, and everyone can and does discuss any game that interests them.  also as it was said then, if we don't talk about what people want to be talking, they should simply join and initiate conversation themselves and we would partake happily.

Well when it comes to news gathering we were never Nintendocentric, we did ignore the PSP and PC news, but that is now fixed. Now the question remains, what do we do with the iPhone?

Gran Torino is well worth a thread! On a serious note, this is not a moneygrab; we are not a business.  Given that, if anything goes awry as a result of increased traffic, it's not hard to scale back.

I was more thinking, we get larger more people get over. The are are some fight, so we implement rules and become mods. Then we start modding people and killing all discussions. So we become, what we ran away from. That should never happen!

Simple solution would be to have both.  i.e. include a feature for private boards; it filters out crap and avoids needless oversight.  The rest of the site remains open for better or worse.

It's speculation at this point, anyway.

Yeah, kinda acedemic. Seeing as we are not growing fast and probably never will be. Slow grow is better for our community either way.

Not a fan of a private board by the way, because we would be creating a VGPress in a VGPress. It's like Xzibit dawg, we know you like reading videogame news while you reading videogame news, so we made you a VGPress in your VGPress.

I read that in your voice.

I can't get it out of my head.

You know what we need, when joining the rules should be  shown and they should have to tick a box to confirm.

THE RULES

There is only one rule of Fat Club: Don't be an asshole

Break this and a 2/3 majority vote by members will have you banned.

THE END

Just for the record my vote for stuff like this is always for sale, but don't try to cheap your way out of it or I'll vote "no" twice.

Iga's vote accounts for a third of a regular vote. He's just that inane.

 Inane

1 : empty , insubstantial 
2 : lacking significance, meaning, or point : silly <inane comments>

I don't get it, if I am so insubstantial, why do I get 1/3 or the votes?

He's saying that your vote is only one third of a normal vote.

One person one vote. With you, one person, one third of a vote.

Iga's abuse of the Haptic Master for his anal pleasure has induced severe mental disability. LOL

Yeah that makes more sense. I do not need a vote, if someone is annoying I will just grab them through the interwebz and snap their neck like a twig. Take that! OnLive! I trained for 10 years in secret to be able to do that!

LOL Be sure to tell us whenever you do.  

BTW I invited some more GAF guys in the animal crossing thread. You can't be evil and like animal crossing so I think they are good guys.

Have we reached any consensus or thought about taking any action or inviting any more people in this thread?
