I have always wondered, what’s the reason for two separate communities? While merging both of them would work equally as well.

Nonetheless, great forums! I need to sign up sometime next week. Be sure to add them to our Forum Toplist.

Nonetheless, great forums! I need to sign up sometime next week. Be sure to add them to our Forum Toplist.

I would love to see you there!

Overall, the core concept of the sites is content-driven items. The Gaming site is focused on expanding its guides, resources, and esports sections into a full-blown website for those topics. The Addciton website is a bit more general, but still has an expanding selection of guides and resources to lead the way.

The forums are a core part of both sites as I fully believe in user-generated and supportive content and forums are still the best medium for encouraging thoughtful and informative information sharing IMO, so they are part of the site and are there to stay. Although they are a secondary feature in terms of the direction and goals of the site.
