But it was not until a year before the Wii U released that people really got into mega threads. We have to rethink how the site is going and what members want. I am sure that despite having these mega threads, people would still like to post articles. User reviews, etc. |
I'm not saying we should do away with any of that. No matter how many news articles are written, there will never be a better place to discuss the news than in the forums. But I do think that we'd be turning a bling eye to a lot of the site's potential if we didn't steer that passion and focus that into something that could drive more viewership. I don't think that user submitted news articles would take away from the mega threads, threads posting news articles, user review threads, etc., at all.
Since you feel that the site is different now, do you also think that the as it once was Game DB wouldn't work anymore because of that difference, or is it a different situation there?
