Sup. Pardon the mess and all, just got the forums up - so work will be happening on it later.
So - I wanted to get some feedback from the users of said forums - on how the forums should be!
My goals -
Not to try and replace places like soulcalibur.com and shoryuken.com and so forth - but to provide a central place with the theme of - whatever we play, we all play it in OK. To promote more cross-gaming platforms so that our tournaments can be bigger, and our players happier, and drawing more from different area's. To promote general communication in the gaming arena.
To have sections to allow for gamers to come in, chat about whatever, find local competition, and find local tournaments. Also - I want to have a area especially for sponsors / people that help out with the tournaments, like Game Crazy is currently doing. That way - they can show off their current specials, things like that.
My concerns -
Of course, creating too many forums - too easy to do heh. Gotta keep em focused down to just what is needed.
Really serving the users. I come to the point where I'd make 'touraments' - but should it be just one big mash? Or should it focus down to cities? Or - should it focus on game types? Same thing with competition searches. Area based? City based? Game based? What is going to be best?
That's really where I'm struggling right now, and would like to know your thoughts. What would you think is better / what have you perhaps seen work?
I WANT fo focus on bringing info into one place where it's easy to use. I want to be able to serve the fighting game types, and the halo types, so on so forth. So - how does one format that?
