I joined Ag quite awhile ago, and didn't know there even was a forum until pretty recently, because the Community button is stuffed up in the corner, and the word Community next to Store and Blog and Submit made me think it wasn't even part of AG. I'm sure we'd get more people in Forums if we changed the name to Forums, and maybe made it easier to spot.

Well, most sites I go to are changing it to community instead of forums. I do believe it should be shown off more. Maybe make that bar up top a little bigger so it is more noticeable.

Maybe we could have ads for it also? Like I remember there was an AG ad on AG.. well maybe a AG Community ad lol. Also I like community better than forum, feels more at home!

I have a simple solution. Call it Forum Community. Sweet and to the point.

Forum Community is a long name, I just think community would be better.

When I was looking for the forums I knew right away its the community button so I disagree.

I think that we just should getrid of the community and post it as forums, there is not anything else here but forums anyway. If we had a chat or IM or something here, than it would be different.

I wasn't saying Forum Community, just Forums. And it should be a big, noticeable button, like the genre buttons at the top. Or take all the things on that bar and make a nice big sidebar for them. And ads would be a good idea.

I don't think we have to change the name, just make the button more prominent. If I just played on the site, i would almost never hit those links, because they aren't neccesary if you are just playing games

Yeah, and even if someone knew it was a Forum, they probably wouldn't go to it, because most people on AG care most about AP, and they wouldn't know you get 1 AP per post.

we should have a suggestion box when we log on.like

"have you tried the community?" and then a short simple writing telling you what it is.

True I guess it is confusing that way but i found out quickly where it was so doesn't seem like a problem to me.
