    I think you should put .ie in the image on the top left of the home page too to make it clear that this is not IGN.com sa I know just looking at the page, reminds me of IGN.com.

    I also don't like the logo and think it is too simplistic and red is IGN's colour for their icon. Why not go with an army green that has something to do with Ireland and differentiates it from IGN.com.

    Thanks for the suggestions, we have been looking at how we can fix up the site so it doesn't look as though where trying to work of IGN.com's success!

    I know this page is new in its infancy etc but I read the front page in about 8 seconds.. you need to be able to scroll right down the page..

    Have a look at www.esreality.com.. lots to look at..

    Get rid of the huge mailing list thing

    Maybe something like www.tehwire.com .. some player generated news..

    It should be a collaboration of international and irish gaming news, with player submitted content, actually it would be nice to know what is going on in all aspects of the irish community, quake, ut, cs, wow, etc, etc, etc.

    Without player submitted news it will just be token day old international news thrown up that everyone has seen before.

    Thanks for the feedback, i changed the logo so it has '.ie' in it and also we where working on a player submitted news, you just beat us there before we got it finished;), but its all working now, players can submit their own news and people can comment on it.

    We'll have a look at the mailing list box later.

    Thanks again.

    Hello Dan... I've merged the threads as somebody posted about IGN.ie last year, and, whatever about the main site, could you please not market other discussion forums here on boards. Thanks.

    country specific gaming website? doesn't strike me as the best idea. These things are best kept global.

    i think we shud make one irish gaming "NATION" and then make accounts for all the games we can find and spread irish influence around and then we would be like a world gaming power or somin like that just have abunch of diff irish clans join under one name

    I'm not too sure about this but is the US Company were to take legal action but if they did take action, wouldn't they have to buy the .ie domain if they wanted it simply because it's older?

    With an open email address linked to the website account, what exactly will stop anybody for accessing and posting under his user name???

    They only send an activation link to you so nobody can log into your account, they can only activate it.

    I Think
