Just a couple things that would be cool and bring more people IMO...
Obviously, the #'s & data are most important...the forum & news the second....the forum creates a foundation of dedicated people for the website...a community of sorts.
1. Somehow monitor your game voting system...it's a joke. Boot out the outlier votes or SOMETHING...when a game hasn't even been released yet and it has a vote of 1, there is a problem. Maybe require people have it in their "games I own" list in order to vote, etc. People get sick of seeing certain wonderful games with a score of 3.47 when they are actually 8+ games! Fanboys are ruining the voting system completely.
2. Sometimes point/reward/rep systems are really neat, fun, & addicting. Over at ps3forums.com they have a +rep you can give people to add to their reputatioin based on intelligent posts, how long they've been members, how many posts they've made, etc. You also earn points that you can buy "icons" at the shop, etc. based on the # of posts you make (imagine Soriku!). To "showoff" that you're an elder, important member, etc. Neat idea.
Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.
Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)
