Perhaps a project/demo gallery, or a review system.

Generally a couple of times every day.

4. Do you feel the forum is currently "moving in the right direction", or are there some actions or changes you are unhappy with?
Definitely moving in the right direction, though it could crawl along a little faster.

5. Do you feel happier about HBGames in general than you have in the past?
I like the userbase and staff, though I feel it's grown smaller since our latest loved ones have left. The site itself is improving, though.

6. Imagine you are a newcomer to the community: how do you think you would feel?
Interested in support and resource-nabbing, but I suppose I'd eventually get sucked into joining by the ever-so-welcoming folks here.

7. Do you find the boards in their current state easily viewable and navigable? (Forum look and layout)
Forums, yes. Resources, not so much. More organizational means would be helpful (i.e. by creator/author, alphabetical, date) and better searching.

8. How often do you use the non-forum features HBGames has to offer?
Rarely.

9. Have you ever considered becoming a sponsor, if so, what stopped you from doing so? (Non-sponsors only)

1. Is HBGames the main game making site you visit? If not, what other site(s) do you visit more?
Not really, its more of a place that i check when i have spare time or nothing else to do. I vist RpgRevolution more often, i also vist RMVXP. but thats about it.

2. Are there any features you feel HBGames is lacking compared to other websites?
Hmm, i kinda miss the old download section from RMXP.net (a long time ago haha) but other than that nothing really.

3. How often do you visit HBGames? When you do, how long do you generally stay?
i guess i vist about 4-5 times a day, i stay for about 1-2 hours after checking new topics.

4. Do you feel the forum is currently "moving in the right direction", or are there some actions or changes you are unhappy with?
sure i guess it is, theres not exactly anything to complain about :grin:

5. Do you feel happier about HBGames in general than you have in the past?
personaly, im not sure what it is, but i prefered how HBgames was a few months back. No reall reason its just the way i feel.

6. Imagine you are a newcomer to the community: how do you think you would feel?
i would feel that this is a good community to be apart of, with a lot of resources and a hell of a lot of scripts to start off.

7. Do you find the boards in their current state easily viewable and navigable? (Forum look and layout)
yeah, nothing bad about it, its crisp and easy going on the eyes.

8. How often do you use the non-forum features HBGames has to offer?
not very often, and sometimes not at all. if i use anything its only the resource part.

10. In general, do you feel HBGames is a "good website"?
yeah i feel its a good site in general, the members and staff are nice and you can always find support on just about anything.

1. Is HBGames the main game making site you visit? If not, what other site(s) do you visit more?
I visit here the most still, but I'm frequenting other sites more often now.

2. Are there any features you feel HBGames is lacking compared to other websites?
I think the features are pretty decent the resources section needs a little cleaning though.

3. How often do you visit HBGames? When you do, how long do you generally stay?
4-5 times a day on a busy day. None on a slow day.

4. Do you feel the forum is currently "moving in the right direction", or are there some actions or changes you are unhappy with?
As Wyatt put it before there's a lot of twats on HBGames but otherwise it's good. It's got a good Admin at the moment.

5. Do you feel happier about HBGames in general than you have in the past?
As I said before, there's a fair amount of twats and that number is increasing. A lot of people flame and troll, I haven't been here for about five months, at least not regularly. Honestly I think I preferred it a few years ago, but I'm an old .net vet so I'm bound to think of the glory days of Lord Gradient never paying the bill.

6. Imagine you are a newcomer to the community: how do you think you would feel?
As far as resources and help goes, there's no comparison. No other site offers newbies the same things. On the other hand there are people who will tear you down and eat you for breakfast if you act newbish, which is unfair. I think that's the last I'll say on the fair amount of negativity when it comes to the people but you get my point. We're all geeks and nerds here but we don't have to be douchey dorks.

7. Do you find the boards in their current state easily viewable and navigable? (Forum look and layout)
Easy to look at but I do get confused occasionally when go on a LOA, and come back to find all the boards in different places with different names. I think also it was simpler when it was "Projects" "General Help" "Resources" "Scripts" with sub-boards. Although I am glad Completed Games is one of the main ones now.

8. How often do you use the non-forum features HBGames has to offer?
I use IRC occasionally and the resources section v. rarely.

9. In general, do you feel HBGames is a "good website"?
It's pretty decent. I would have left if I didn't enjoy myself here, in spite of what I've said earlier there's still a decent bunch of people here.
