Xbox forum (XboxExtreme??)

svosen · 03-15-2005, 01:48 PM

I voted "Don't really care" in the pole on the home page.

However, if you did decide to start up such a site, you could link this forum to that site as well, which would almost certainly increase the traffic here.

But I'm sure you've thought of that already...

i see no reason why you guys couldn't expand to do all 3 companies. i'm sure people in the forum would gladly help out

I was thinking that you could have 2 main pages with independant reviews/previews etc sections but both the X Box and PSX sites link to this one forum (meaning you'd probably have to make the forum name something more general). This way individuals drawn to the respective sites would be joining one forum. A good way to boost member numbers and encourage a few interesting debates.

Good idea Gabe!

:P

I voted 'good idea'
I say that because, if you wanted to get a head start on the next microsoft system (Xbox 2, nextbox, whatever the hell it will be) it would be good to have a home ready for it, as an extension to the preexisting Xbox site.

Svosen, I wasn't sure if I interpreted your idea as being the same as mine. I thought you meant to just have a link between the two independant forums whereas I think the two sites should share a forum.

dillonthebunny · 03-17-2005, 09:38 AM

do we need a separate forum?

I mean.. look at the topics we have.... most of them are just general subjects, and we discuss Xbox stuff in an adult way anyway.

There are times when people slag off the Xbox and we have had some very heated discussions (Mr Sunny

) but if we say that Xbox is shite, we get flamed (just the way it should be). Because were all here for the same reason whether you have console A or console B.

Anyway, we openly discuss Xbox, most of you guys have one... so why go to all the effort? So if its properly moderated, do we really need a separate forum?

I can understand about the main site, where you could have an Xbox bit separate for reviews and previews etc.....

Or have I missed the point completely?

I don't think there's been a heated stupid Xbox vs PS2 since Xbox4Eva posted here before the system's lauch.

dillonthebunny · 03-17-2005, 10:35 AM

there you go!

I reckon it would be cool, then we can all live together like hippies....

ps... (not on subject.. wheres Jumbo these days?)

I said I think an Xbox site should share this forum:

There is no sense in having separate forums, especially considering how low traffic is here. I don't mind letting Xbox users drink out of the same water fountain as I do...
