Hi! My name is Mitchell and I come from Australia. I have started a forum based around gaming. This is a very large niche with fierce competition, but there is something that sets us apart. We are a community, we have clans, we have fun, we know each other, and we do what our members want us to do. We retain our community feeling, and that is why we are special. The big forums no longer feel like a place to make friends.
This means so much to me, because we are humans, we are a social species, and we should be able to socialize through the internet, but these large forums become less and less friendly, and I wanted to make that difference. Here at CommGaming.com we are using phpbb for our forum and wordpress for our homepage. We have got similar themes and we are going for a sleek modern style with less on the page to confuse a user, with a light style. If we get support, we can go so much further! We can move to professional software, and upgrade our server! We would love to achieve this, but we just cannot afford it.
This can be completely redone and be made so much better! It can be such a fun experience for everyone
We need $500, but more can allow us to go beyond our plans. We would like to purchase InvisionPower products to make our forum more professional. We would also like to upgrade our servers. And we feel $500 can set us on track.
If we don’t reach $500, the money will still go towards doing as much as we can for our community! Whether it is $5 or $500, we will try our hardest to make the community so much better!
And to those who do contribute, you will get special contributors only forum access, access to our developers personally. Contact details, and you will be public known on the forum as someone who has contributed, and someone who is respected.
You may still wonder how we are different from the leaders, they don’t care about all the members enough to want to get to know them, we already have a post up to find users favorite ice cream!
What other gaming forum, gets to know there members and build a forum relationship like us? But on the side we also do reviews and tips and tricks and gaming discussions! It really is a lot of fun! Why?
This could eventually impact the gaming niche, the ability to talk about gaming, get the professionalism of the big forums, but also have the community feeling of a small forum. It really is an all in one package, and if we get some funding, we can take it to a whole new level!
Every 5 dollars we receive goes towards a complete overhaul or a server upgrade, or our overheads, and if we don’t get this initial funding, we may never be able to move up to a leading level!
