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).
