ioi said: rendo, that is basically what I am describing. Each minisite would be run by seperate people in a vgchartz style and linked back to the main site, that way offering more content but not messing too much with what we have here.

Alright, was just making sure that's what you meant. By going with other sites, like IGN/Gamespot/Whatever, that leaves you with very little control on what happens. But if you have other people who constantly update a site that you, in the end, have creative control over, that's much better for keeping VGC as VGC and not some mixture of whatever the other sites basically demand as they're much bigger.
The only issue I really see with starting "new" sites, ran by "people" is that they really have to have the dedication to do it. A preview/review site would be the most challenging, as you actually need to get a hold of so many games and actually spend time playing them, and give honest, unbiased reviews.
I'm all for adding additional sites, as long as it's done properly, isn't too ad invasive, and has a simple, but professional appearance. A community forum for all is what I'd recommend though, so it's not 3 communities, it's 1 giant one.
