Your forum looks very good!  The theme works great for a gaming theme, and you avoided the pitfalls I see a lot of dark sites where it is either too hard to read or too hard to look at for a long period of time.  Nice!

I also clicked on a few posts and see that you are active in your own community, which is great.

The only suggestion I have is to try and minimize how far you have to scroll to see your whole forum.  You could combine some similar forums that are not as active such as racing and sports, or else make some of the less used ones sub-forums. Perhaps a major category of action games could have subforums of shooters, racing, sports, etc.  Just an idea. 

Congrats on such a great forum!

well we have shopmod added -- we will allow users to purchase steam games for free with the points, it wont be cheap though because it does cost me money, $10 for cs, dod, and halflife, $20 for css, dods, and half life 2.  so basically you just shop with the points later.  more than one winner and i wont give out unlimited games lol.  maybe 2 $20 worth and 3 $10 worth unless i can get more funding or sponsors for it.

we have 218 members now, 7 in the past 2 days. 

p.s. the contest will be launched sometime next week or at the start of may, im still putting things together

On May 1st i have opened the new Steam Give-A-Way contest and gave my members the chance to win a free game from steam via points on the forum.  Due to lack of time this month I wasnt able to advertise this new contest on all my regular places.  This has been a busy month for me.

This contest does cost us money so don't expect to get the game with double digit post count.  The games cost from $10-$20 and the points per game differs as price per game changes. 

This is an on going contest for a while now.  And it will only stop when I run out of funding for giving out the games.  Lets just say I can have at least 6 winners for now Big grin

Getting points are easy - you can get a max of 5 GFP (Gamers Forum Points) for each post and sometimes It is highered depending on occasion or just randomly. 

Just visit Gamers Forum and sign up and start posting today to win the games.

Check out the following topic for more information on this contest - click HERE

Thank you!
