Apart from the small fixes and features that I can do on week nights after work, I have many bigger projects that I think would be great for the site. 

- Bringing back the Prediction League. With Machina being reliable when it comes to keeping the numbers up to date, I think this would be a perfect tool to get the community involved in the numbers once again. For that to work, the HW situation would have to get better which pretty much means ioi (Brett) would have to give Machina control over the HW numbers. Worst comes to worst, the Prediction League could start off based solely on SW numbers at first.

- A mobile version of the site. That's a huge one. Both in amount of work required on my part and in the potential payoff for the site. In 2016, not having a mobile version is almost a crime. I don't have access to the site's stats but just from the comments on here, I know there's a whole lot of people navigating this site on the phones even though it's quite horrible to do so right now which tells me that a mobile version would be incredibly beneficial to the site.

- Bringing back to game DB. Before I know what I can do about this, I have some homework to do. VGC currently gets its data from GameWise but I'm not sure exactly how the transfer goes through. I think the first steps would be to bring back functionalities like the game collection having recent games and then I'd look into whether or not bringing back the adding/editing of games is possible.


Thanks for the clarification. Specifically with the Prediction League, can you delve into more detail with what that is? To me, it sounds like just a forum contest like many of the ones we already do. While I agree that it would be a perfect tool to get the community involved with numbers, isn't this something the (other) Ambassadors could do just as easily? Why does it specifically need your skills? Or am I misunderstanding what it is?

Also, what exactly is wrong with the game DB anyway, functionally?
