Gamer News Daily is your Daily Dosage for gaming news.

Hey my name is Reaper and GND has been in the works now for a couple of years. As of right now the forums are on the main site but i am waiting on getting my custom made CMS for my site in which i have a unique matching skin.

We have a select few features which or members like which is the tournaments. We have so far given away Gears Of War 2: Limited Edition when its out of course and right now we are giving away COD 5 for the 360 in an exclusive tournament.

Right now I'm working on pulling in more members which is allot harder then you think lol.

Thanks For Reading.

Review: I found your site adequate. While I didn't find anything technically wrong with the site. It's just another forum to me. Like everyone here we are all attempting to get more users on the forums we run.

I personally run 3 vbulletin sites. 1 is just about to open, 1 is massive with over 25K registered users, and the other is medium sized by comparison. I have found that to get user you have to offer something that other sites are not. What do I mean with regard to your site? Well gamers are fickle, they want information, tactics, and to be honest, they are demanding a wow experience when they use a website. Site's like IGN, Gametrailers.com, and others.. are heavy on the graphics. I found that lacking on your site.

My suggestion to you on how to improve your site would be to add graphic elements that entice your members to explore the site. I'm not telling you to plaster graphics all over and make the site heavy with regard to page loading times. I'm talking about adding some custom graphic tiles on your forum homepage that are linked to your most popular areas on the forums, hot threads they contain information, etc. Sell yourself to your users. They will love you for it.
