What do NOT see in gaming forums that you WOULD like to see?
 
Re: What are Gaming Forums missing? [FP$]

Something I do not see much in gaming forums is a podcast or gaming tournaments within the community. Which I think would be pretty cool.

I rarely see decent admins.

I am going to agree. Most gaming sites I've contributed to have closed within the week or within the two weeks of it's launch. Some use default themes. Some don't even have any really good gaming forums.

You need to make the gaming forum stand out from the rest.

Thanks for the suggestions. I know what you mean too! A lot of gaming forums just don't look good and lack a solid admin!

I plan on streaming games as well!

Experienced owners who know what they're doing without needing to ask people the brutally obvious. This is what differentiates those who are successful, with those who ultimately fail.

All the same categories. Such as "Xbox 360" or "PS3".

I hope you were not referring to me.

I was just asking for things people are looking for in gaming forums 🙂<br /><br />-- 06 Jul 2011, 22:23 --<br /><br />

I was, if you're looking for things people are looking for in a forum, then you fit my criteria.

I would like to see lighter themes(darker themes usually don't attract me) and for the forums, I want kinda like different names. For example, on my forum, another it's for "General Discussion" is "The Lounge".

Well I do not ultimately fail..so..please stay out of this topic, I didn't ask for put-downs or negative criticism.

@Younmoney - I am confused what you mean by forums here.

Criticism isn't criticism if it isn't sometimes negative.

You want some feedback, here. Using an overused theme, generic forums and generic rules that are used by hundreds of other gaming forums.

Simple straight forward explanations for newbie gamers. As an example I'm not familiar with RPG, when I go to an RPG forum I'd like to see a section that explains what's going on and how to use the forum, in a way that a complete newbie (like me) can understand.

Dummy guides to using controls such as PS2/PS3. What each button does and what not.
