First things first. We never go to shoot episode 28. Ben was only down for one night and we didn't get a chance to get it done. So there will be a longer delay on the next episode. Which means we are going to seriously sit down and discuss how to make the episodes that we do shoot bigger, better and more exciting.
However the main part of this blog is to talk about the website. I wanted to open up a discussion on what we can do to make this site live on it's own if neither Ben and I can find too much time to work on it.
The forums are already doing pretty good. But I think we are going to need more help in the way of additional moderators to help keep things going smooth.
But aside from the forums what other steps do you think we can do to help keep the site current, fresh and keep people wanting to come back?
I have started a forum thread for everyone to discuss this matter.
Here are some of my ideas
- Current up to date Wii news feeds from different websites
- More moderators for the forums
- Area to post when you'll be online playing a game and allow others to sign up to say they will join you
- Volunteers to organize larger online meetups and events
- A REAL game review submission procedure so users can submit reviews and the best ones get posted (I know I said I would do this before, but this time it'll actually get done)
These are some of the bigger ideas I have. So let me know what you think and if you have any ideas of your own. I'm sad I can't spend as much time on this project as I would like these days, and don't want what we built to fall apart. Let's keep this community going and growing!
