Thinking of Expanding

Hey everyone,

That's a very specific domain name. I'm not sure adding information for other games would be a good idea.

I suppose a General Gaming forum, or something along those lines, wouldn't hurt though.

I agree here, I wouldn't add any other specific games, but a general gaming section could help. You don't want to try to cater for everybody, theres a lot of forums like that out there already.

I agree with whats been said, the domain is pretty specific, probably too specific to add other game info.

I think you should have put more thought/research into this before starting the site. Either stick with the game and find people who play the game to join and develop your site, or start a new site with a more general focus. Decision making time!

I agree with what's already been said (many times). The domain name is very, very specific, and adding more games is probably not the best idea, seeing as they would not be related to the domain itself. It's like opening a bag of M&M's, and finding Sour Patch Kids inside.

If you would like to expand, my advice is to create a few sister websites.

Chris
