so what about it admins? why not streamline some of the sections to give the forums a jump? Most in this thread has been constructive criticism, it would be nice if FM retooled the forum topics a bit.

also, a good way to get new traffic and new users interested in FM and FM products is to run a few contests and giveaways, where all you have to do is register and post 5 posts in the forums. (old FMr's would be eligable too by posting in contest threads) FM/yougamers has enough contacts where they could get a graphics card or two donated in exchange for free advertising. Benchmark contests with prizes could also help. I'm looking at a banner ad right now where Gigabyte is a bench contest with 3dmark06.

anyways, I think condensing some of the forums (like the examples desolater gave) would give the place an immediate boost.


I think FM was wise to create Yougamers, I don't think that has anything to do with FM's slowing down. I also think they see the righting on the wall as far as non-gaming benchmarks. I think they're wise to branch out to game development as well. I'm looking foward to seeing what they come up with, and will definately support it with my $$
