The competition starts now. Good luck!
 
Well so far everything is good on the website. I do however have problems with accessing the forum part with local cap?

But other than that this forum is very decent :)
 
Love the forum, though it might be a good idea to try and get new members into the community again somehow. They're starting to drop away like flies.
 
LOVE the forum and LOVE the articles you publish. you guys are witty and entertaining and i cant go a day without accessing the site and posting on the forums.
 
The MyGaming website has become my "one-stop-shop" for everything gaming related. I used to go to megagames, but when compared to MyG they are left wanting, so keep up the good work guys!

As for the Forum, I haven't enjoyed a forum community like this one since I modded our own one back in the college days. And since I joined, it's been hard to stay 100% productive at work :p
 
The forum is perfect for me but just wish there was a 3ds/DS section instead of it being with xbox/ps3/wii
 
I agree with bokka and Ichigo. It would be lekker to split the console section into a section for each console. That may even help with Graal's comment because it might attract more console gamers to the forum. At the moment, it's very PC oriented.
 
Like the forum so far,it's friendly and well organized.

One thing i would like is if i could track my comments in the news section from my profile (like when i press view posts to see all the posts i made)

I read the news section each day when i arrive at work and then check the BF3,Image of the day and GIF thread after that and then using the WHAT'S NEW feature to check for anything i missed.

Admin and moderators are doing a great job so far,keep up the good work guys.
 
As it stands, the website is great, however I think it could use a little TLC with regards to design. Maybe make the content divs tighter, and lose the background ads; it's rather tiresome looking at a Diablo 3 release ad on the forum background in August.
Maybe this could be a good time for reassess design for incoming 2013.

For the forum, I like the fact there are some really colourful users regularly posting here and there. We just need new ways to help encourage more posts and threads. How about a forum system of rewards for users who complete certain tasks? Such as a blogger badge, or a silver badge for Forum Hero (500 posts), and other fun badges that can be earned like achievements; it will gel well with the gaming theme.

Otherwise keep up delivering the good news, I read it all the time, and the competitions are excellent; you guys don't skimp! Awesome.
 
Haven't been active on this forum - more active over at MyBB - but this is definite incentive.

From what I've seen so far it looks good - nice vibe. I also like the clean, non-flashy approach which allows one to concentrate on the conversations.

Heading over to Diablo sections to get active. :)

Lot's of people, okay maybe just every now and then ask if there is a search feature here. Possibly make the forum search visible from the main forum view.

Other wise love the website can't stand those other huge ones overseas.
 
(jeez sounds like all entries start with "thread is awesome, BUT..." hehehehe)

The forum search could feature more prominently. There is a thread and it is easy for someone who knows where to look, but for others not so much.
 
I really like everything MyGaming is doing, it makes it so much easier for our fans to read and talk about SA relative gaming, and getting all the information we need.

If I had one criticism, it would be that you flood the social networking sites too much with every single story. Is it not possible to perhaps have a daily wrap-up of all the stories, with just the real big news and announcements getting their own posts?

Other than that though, I do love it!
 
I mainly enjoy reading the articles from the subscribed news letter which I receive via email to keep up to date with the latest in gaming news. There are also some interesting topics on the forums from time to time which I enjoy reading.

Keep up the good content.

I dread the end is nigh looking at the background :p

now that that is off my chest:

I find the site and its content actually pretty cool however at times I do feel that some articles could have been more words and less pictures. The community around and in mygaming is also good, sure there are times when quad damage is let loose, but still not nearly as bad as other places.
 
It would be awesome if there was a more active marketplace on the forum but I guess that comes down to the community. Other than that everything is perfect :).
 
The forum is great. A decent sense of community has sprouted here, and I firmly believe that the secret to success for any forum lies in that.

The website itself is decent; good articles on breaking news, good reviews, and worthwhile reads, generally. I enjoy the style employed by all the different writers, and the fact that they have their own opinions (unlike journo's at some of the large international sites). I even enjoy the drama these opinions sometimes creates... :D My only suggestion for improvement is to up the number of reviews, as these are too few and far between, especially for someone bound to a single platform, and then to note the differences between the different versions of a game on each platform. The timing of the reviews might be improved as well, to just get the review out closer to release date.

All in all, 9/10.
 
I just find it a little weird how you can comment at the bottom of an article and then there will also be a separate forum post for discussion.
