    I've seen you guys are posting announcements in chat and have to repeat them every few minutes (maybe hours?).

    Why not just have an announcement bar on home page. You could simply place announcement(s) there and everybody would see it. You could also link it to the thread about it if any.

    It's the work of habit but also still gets the word out so it's not entirely bad. Some of it isn't really big news and we post it in chat just to get the word out, the point isn't exactly to tell everyone just give it more visibility.

    That said we could stand to use the announcement system more, I agree. As for improving it, I'm not sure that is possible however the system itself is pretty visible so it might be enough to just use it more.

    Eh, that takes up more space on the page for short posts, I'd really rather not. I prefer the aesthetics of the current look.

    Indeed. It doesn't look bad, but I prefer the one we have now.

    One of top focuses going forward is becoming more mobile friendly:). If that means a redesign or a mobile app, we will try to make that happen:).

    I was watching Video Directory and there is only 1 category "General" so everything is mixed and hard to follow
    If u put more categories it will be easier to watch and ppl that are interested only for LOL, dont need to watch videos from Hearthstone or some other game.
    Also in search should be enabled to select more then one category, for ppl who wana watch LOL and Hearthstone videos or any other games.
    Small thing that is rly helpful

    I agree with many of the aforementioned redesigns in the posts above.

    I think we can surely streamline the categories more :)

    The main site (the one in the GameOgre.com root:)) should be tied together soon. It has been HTML since the beginning so am looking forward to making it easier to work on and more interactive:).

    U can use Youtube for music while chatting, i dont see any how would that help.
    Also if there arent any, u can make pools ur self for top 10 lists, if u think thats valid

    Most helpful thing for forum, by my opinion, is that u change search default state from "Search entire posts " to "Search titles only". That would reduce number of duplicate threads. Mby not for much (because i still think that many ppl dont use search) but it will

    There are plenty of lists. I'd recommend visiting the main site from time to time. For instance, Top MMORPG List
    As far as gamers, presuming you mean actual forum members, that seems kind of pointless since that depends heavily on the game and changes all the time, though you're welcome to follow the tournaments we hold.

    And yeah, if you want music in chat, you're more than welcome to use your music player of choice to play whatever music you want.
