Gamersband Online Gaming Community

[Voicy]

Hey guys

Check out http://www.gamersband.com to see a beta attempt and creating a gaming community.

In essence, it lists gamers by location and allows you to see who fancies which games and even challenge them at online play.

I'm a bit skeptic about the 'adding your geo location' bit, but if kept at a basic city level (instead of your street address) then I don't see the huge harm in it.

It also boasts an instant messaging interface where you can chat to your friends on there ala facebrick chat and it lists your challenges and whatnot...

So far there are only about 20 South Africans registered, but check it out. I'm still in two minds over it.

You can search for other gamers by either location or profile name. I think the location search is pretty nifty especially when there are big patches out which you'd like to get from someone staying near you. Now you can see who lives near you and if they play that game or not.

Here's my profile.

I just saw a nifty feature now...

If I click on "My Games" and then select one of the games I listed, it will bring up a screen showing who the closest people are to my location playing that game as well.

Lars? Do you mean Larch?

K, false alarm!

Site looks interesting enough, keeps bombing out for some reason though.
If it is Larch, at least you know which geographical area to avoid.
