So, last night IGN banned me for using a four letter word in thier forums. In all fiariness, they will UN-ban me tonight at the same time i was banned last night, but regardless, this ban over something as trivial as a curse word got me thinking... What do most gamers want in a website? What if someone made a site explicitly for gamers, cutting out the idea of paid reviews (which some people suspect a site like ign actually does. What if someone made a community that was for gamers to speak their minds and discuss reviews that were written like thier friends would review a game (namely truthfully and with more passion than ign.)... What sort of features would the best site have, in your opinion. just curious to see how close the all mightly ign actually comes to getting what we all want :-) --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
