Well, I originally came to OTS because Gerb told me that there was a console gaming forum. For a while, it was real cool. There would be regular posts and interesting topics to read.

But it appears as though the forum has hit a dry spell. Not much is is being posted and therefore I am giving a few sugestions on how to improve.

I think it would be cool if threre were some game reviews. I have been tempted to write some, but I just get lazy. Anyone can write them for any game, new or old. I just think it would be cool to hear what others think about certain games and then be able to respond to it. Also, I think it would be cool if more people posted questions about games. Tips and strategy, or just general questions about certain games (old, new, and up-comming releases). And finally, this one may be tough to do, but I think a release list for new big games would be cool. Not all games, but just the few big games that will be coming out- sorta like a preview section that updates all the release dates.

Now I know all this is alot. And I know this would kind of turn OTS into some kind of console site (god forbid!;)), but those were just some of the suggestions that I was thinkin of. Im just trying to get some interest in the console section that I like to read. Any response/help would be really cool.

We'd like the console aspect of the site to thrive, but unfortunately, we don't have a hardcore console guy in the staff ... most of us here are PC scum ... unless you know a guy/guys who can give regular console gaming updates, reviews and articles for this site ;)

I haven't had a console since Sega Genesis. Before that it was a Commodore 64.

Nintendo was barely a thought back then, I think.

I must say I am quite pleased at all the attention the console forum is getting :D I hope it keeps up.

anyways, I was gonna post a poll in that forum, but I am not sure how it works (polls). Could someone give me a little help?
thanks :)

Check the "views" column and you'll see how many times the topic has been viewed ;) ... and the fact that it gets seen in the front page after it's posted surely guarantees that it gets read by people visiting the site (although they're not logged as views)...

And yes, I myself read each one of them everyday :)
