Tell us, what do you think Valentrinne should focus on? Should we just keep on going with game review stuff and whatnot which can prove to be pretty boring, or should we go with some community driven content? Unless you guys are willing to do some stuff for us, it won't work, though.
I hate to say it... but I just may give it up and be willing to go for a blog-like style like what 4Colorrebellion has. But instead of just focusing on a few people, all of you guys could contribute. psyduck;
Community driven crap caterpie;
I actually was looking to write something once... but I couldn't figure out how to sign up.
Also, the site is boring as hell

Well not a blog style, but just.. nevermind let's just stay how we are.
Let's just keep it about technology with more emphasis on gaming. We also need a new CMS, so let's do Drupal.
Possibly having more online gaming tournaments.
Could attract a few people to join the site.
Homepage is good. Keep the stories coming.
Yeah, I still like the idea of everyone contributing stuff, but we've tried it a couple times, and we just don't have a large enough serious userbase.
No.

Will you fucking stop already?
I don't understand the thread. We don't need to change much if we get some assigned members with a large knowledge of a certain area.
I could right a rock band impressions article
The video game crap is overused and boring. I can't see that working here. I'm sure some people could come up with more...exciting content. There are already loads of video game blogs out there, who wants another?
Try to find enough serious dedicated writers. Let their terrifying imaginations flow freely. You could actually bring some activity here that way, though I'm not sure it would be what you want. psyduck;
Oh, if it's just about what to write where, then surely I could help. I don't do hidden messages, though.

I tried to break away from the game reviews and do other stuff.

...Ice cream?
I don't really think it's worth reading a review about ice cream. How were you even able to come up with four paragraphs?

It was a joke review.
The other two were serious.

We could have more of that and not be bad, though... it's all about the actual quality of the writing. If it's well written, slightly witty, and entertaining, it doesn't matter if it's about a dog or ice cream or some shitty NES game Lawlz (dis)likes.

lol saw
Good idea though. I doubt he'd do it.
More videos provided by users who can make them would be appreciated though.

If he could make some silly little movies like James Rolfe, or if anyone would, it'd be great.

Yes. It would be excellent content for the home page.
Really though, we need more random content in general. Videos of almost any sort, reviews on things that wouldn't normally be reviewed (I say look to SA for inspiration, but let's not copy them)...just anything that makes us unique.
That's why I haven't submitted anything. I started a review on a shitty game but stopped because you already do that, as do so many other countless people on the interbutt.

If I could ever get Flash, I'd love to carry out my plan and I highly doubt anyone else has ever done it... but I can't get Flash running under Leopard. :'(
If you have to, draw some sort of crazy monster sex and put it up.

This review about ice cream is most definitely worth reading.

I AM INSPIRED.
The site also needs a design overhaul. I don't think people take its cute little HTML layout very seriously... I kind of just slammed myself there, but it was a bad layout from the start.
I'll make a mini-CMS sometime.
Edit: Oh land, I mixed up "it's" and "its". That's got to be the first time in years. /me flagellates self

I'd be willing to actively report on poop if we changed it up to blog style.
hell I'd liek that a lot more actually.
