The only way I can see developers actually coming to a forum and joining is becoming a site such as The Daily Click, which actually encourages new content from developers by having a Game of the Week prize each week. Exclusive content for a site can command great respect for a site. For example take...

My personal opinion would actually be to steer away from OGs style, where users get download credits. All competitors let casual users (non-members) download without restraint so I think a system like this would turn a lot of people off. This system was more understandable with OG just because of th...

I don't think making the pages Google friendly is short sighted at all. Everything that is done for the site goes hand in hand and there is no specific order things have to be done in. Making the front page clear is all fine and good but you can have the best looking front page on the internet and w...

3. Some keywords are probs better than others.. I assume google keeps track of keywords people use when searching. Then it probs gives 'higher importance' to some words than some others... I think that is actually more to do with your metatags. For example if you make the metatag for your page 'qual...

Google seems confusing at first. Having links from other pages to your page helps your google pagerank more than anything else but it can also help you get indexed faster, depending on the site linking in. Indexing each individual page on your website is a different story altogether though (and this...

Making money off the internet has always fascinated me so I have actually tried many offers and know which ones pay out and which ones don't. For example there is a large network which will distribute ads in your e-mail to click on and you get 4 or 5 centre per click (with a pay threshold of somethi...

On a barebones level you're right.. the difference between the characters is almost zilch. The difference is really in the intent of the writing. My opinion of Beverly Hills Cop is that it isn't anything special as an action movie and doesn't really stand out as a comedy either - the script just isn...

Buddy films are a proven formula. Buddy films, in which two complete opposites mix is an even surer formula, providing the opposites actually make the film funny. I'm personally not a huge fan of buddy films because they tend to be a little too formulaic (sortof like pop music) but films like 48 hou...

My suggestion to your concerns would be the following: 1. Create a sub-forum (if there was enough interest), regarding interviews. 2. Ask all members to participate. Threads could be created by members, regarding which developers they are interested in knowing about (one developer per thread). 3. On...

Getting developers to sign up here would be no easy task. The best way to get developers to tell you about their games is to as as I do and request an interview. Few developers even have the time to join up to other forums and join in on discussions (and by asking may see it as advertising). However...

Just thought I would offer a suggestion, regarding the ranking system. I came across this at a site called LinkFilter.
