That would work perfectly.Nuka, get back to that damn shop and make these shirts! I'll chip in for the monies, get an estimate.I can get shirts $3-5 bucks a pop from a wholesale store in my city, but like I said I don't have access until next January. I've sold the shirts I made at conventions before and they were pretty successful. I love doing it.

I think we should stick with them for a bit, absorb the better members and just become an independent gaming site.Well yeah...that'd be great. The problem is actually doing it.I can manage the site and troubleshoot the forum errors like a boss, and I'd like to think I'm a decent community manager, but we're going to need some extra hands if we want this place to keep getting awesome.The YouTube thing for one. I hate making videos. I'm more the photoshop/illustrator type. We should start putting together some kind of video something to draw interest to the site.Our reviews that we have are awesome and I can see that growing.I can't really think of anything else we need to branch out to, but I'm sure there are other places and things to do to bring in traffic.Heck yes, let's do it. Go on a recruiting spree! Go to your college class and find some trusted fellows who know their way around a computer. I could make that video/be the youtube guy. I would then send the videos to a more capable member to edit it and make it more pretty. LHm..Let's get an AD in gameinformer. I'd be willing to chip in to the cost.I think we have a YouTube channel that someone made, but we need someone that can edit video, yeah.I mean...I have a degree in graphic design, so I could do it, but I'd rather pull teeth than deal with video editing software (also not a fan of flash for this reason).T-shirts were also a thing I was turning around in my mind, and that is something that would be awesome if we ever decide to go out into the real world to an event of some kind (or just wear it to Walmart or something; whatever).Why not a Machinima on Halo? I'm very good friends with the owner of Machinima Union and we could either get him to help or even help with the Halo Archive's Machinima stuff once the scripting finishes. Also, should we make a new thread for this?Yeah, I'll split the topic and move it to Septagon.Machinima would be great. I know we have some writers here (you, yourself, if I'm not mistaken).

I'm all for the Youtube Idea, reviewing games and doing walkthroughs etc.We need someone with video editing skills, someone who's good at speaking and anyone with capture cards prepared to upload footage on a regular basis.

Just throwing it out there I can speak pretty well, but I only really play Halo, Fable, Diablo and Zelda. Other than that I'm not much of a gamer.

If we get too large, we'll need a VPS or a dedicated server. That would cost more money and if that were to happen, and we had that many people, yeah...Anarchy would have to say goodbye.The plus side is that the rest of the forums would be populated out of our ass.
