.com is always my first choice when I am searching for a url to buy but it is usually taken I will make sure and hold on to goldenedgegaming.com I guess I was lucky to get it. Nothing is too premature I want to put the ground work into the website in January and have an initial launch in February (our anniversary) I need to send all our ideas to the web developer I have been talking to and he is going to tell me what we can and cannot do. Some of the stuff we want will need to be added down the line (at a cost) but if we prioritise what we want I can get and idea of how much the rest would cost to add.

I have been talking to Blade Runner and something we think that is important is having an extensive drop down bar on the homepage but the good news is this comes with our theme anyway. themeforest.net/item/games-zone-gaming-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/8469833 I think the main thing we need get a web developer to add is Member profiles with a high level of customization Which will have the following: Games/systems owned Now playing Favourite game Gamertag PSN ID, steam ID Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch Image library Embed you favourite YouTube videos

You seem to have listed "Twitter" twice... I assume one is Twitch? =p

I would really like everyone's feedback on this I think I have got our new URL for the new website.
gegamer.net
(I couldn't get .com)
This is my thought process. The new website is not about the games it is about the gamer! I want this new website to be a place people can express themselves instead of somewhere to share gaming news posts! (though I am sure gaming news will be covered too) What do you all think?

I can't decide if it should be gegamer.net or gegamers.net Maybe just gamer because it is one less key to have to press Edit* .org is available for both options.... does anyone have a preference either way? What is better .net or .org?

I just found out gagamer.com is available! We would have to change our name to Golden Age Gamer... Now I don't know what to do Also geegamer.com is free but I don't really like that one.

Erm, I don't really have that many good ideas...but why not a live chat room, where members can get together and have conversations and stoof, rather than having to constantly update the forums!
(Edit)
I should go into more detail about this, rather than the shout box we currently have we could have a little chat box tab that open up and you can talk to individual members or talk to a whole group by joining a public chat session.
another note, something I've always disliked about the forums is all the little game icons around the side now I know they are a testament to all the games we've played and that but personally I find them distracting we should settle on a simple but elegant colour scheme and have themed parts of the forums otherwise the mish mash of all colours could put a few users off.

It think the live chat room is a great idea, I will look into it I think these days people like things that are instant so a chat room is a good why of having that. I am working on some new forum background ideas again it will probably be after the new homepage but thanks for the feedback. Me Blade Runner 07, Xargen and Suparwololo were talking about the URL our conclusion was ggamers .net So we are Goldenedge Gamers, GG Are there any objections?
