I was just thinking of a few ideas to improve the forum, but I thought it would be better to see what everyone else thought as well.

A page with release dates could be a good idea, but i know it'd be difficult to manage, with different release dates for Japan, USA and Europe. It'd probably easier though if it could be updated by a group of members so it was kept as accurate as possible.

A weekly/fortnightly feature asking the same question but about different games/consoles/etc. , such as 'How would you improve... Resident Evil/Nintendo DS?' This could be made by 1 member - or a group of members - who chooses a topic a week/fortnight to discuss and for all the members to have their say about. I'm sure it would keep posting going and would lead to some big discussions (and hopefully not arguments).

A Top 10 games sales list. This could be for the week or the month and could show the games selling well across the world. It could a world table or regional (US,EUR,JP,etc.). I know this one is probably the most difficult to manage as it's constantly changing, but its very informative.

Also, a rating system for games? This could be where 1 forum member reviews a game and gives a game a rating (scale of 1-10), and the rest of the forum members get a vote and the reviewers' score can be seen next to a member-voted score. Members could also comment on the game as well. Its like the review system but probably needs a few more members to take off properly on the forum.

What does everyone think?

well also we could have people volunteer (of course) to report about a certain game, system, or genre to make it more active and more things to post about.

I'll have a go at 1 or 2 of them. The idea i came up with first was the 'How would you improve...?' question so i think i'll try that. I'll come up with a idea and post it within the next day/few days.

I'd help with a release date page as well, because i think that would be impossible for anyone to manage by themselves. I think the ratings could be anyone's job or suggestion, just so others can post on it.

Just a question: where would we put release dates, etc.? We might need another page for that . Also, the 'How would you improve..' could go in a few places. I was thinking either in its relevant area (handheld, etc.) or in game news?

If we know people that can (and want) to do ratings, we should get them involved. The more people, the better it will be.

i believe it is best to put release dates with its catagory and we could make a sub forum in those saying like reviews, releases, so on.
