Hi Dark, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take those under advisement as I happen to agree with you those are some areas where we can improve upon the site and help out newbies to the community etc. Definitely far more helpful than just another database of games.
Plus since Audyssey was intended to be a news site it only follows we should do more in the way of news rather than just handle it here on list. We could easily post news to the site the way you do on the Audiogames.net forum announcing latest releases and so on. I have for lack of a better word been rather lazy about doing much with the site since taking it over and I certainly could do more in the way of news. Cheers!
