We're contemplating throwing a stone at two birds for the site rebuild which will use vB5, I thought I'd throw the idea out there to get your feedback:
1. Shifting the editorial focus to something narrower than games generally, as casting a wide net in recent years didn't lead to any real success. We just can't compete with the big news sources. The focus would become what has me more excited than my Voodoo 2 8MB graphics card did: VR gaming. We could even put emphasis on launching and specifically supporting servers for games that are "VR ready".
2. Doing so would enable us to pickup a short URL relevant to that, which would be better for generally accessing the site, fit into more places conveniently (advertising, game server names). The domain would be guvr.com - I've been in contact with the seller and he's willing to sell it for a reasonable price.
Ultimately not much will change, apart from us potentially attracting new members specifically interested in VR gaming/discussion, and having a tiny web address.
