The only service we can offer is akin to hiring a prostitute just to talk.
We can trade intellect, but that's about it. Still, it's enough to keep some forums alive.
Expand eh? I tend to think we could offer something... Perhaps symbiosis is exactly what we need to pursue? If not that, parasitism may be the way to go :D. I really do not think we are capable of actually standing on our own as a "go to" for news or anything. I'm really not all for looking at an overcrowded market and saying "me too". Rather, I see a flawed market we could offer our services to on a part-part-part-very-part time basis. We could drift like some sort of crazy sea creature from review site to review site offering to review a game FOR them, and then move on. Outside contracting? And, the forums would be where peoples show up and talks to us.
Thing is, we'd need an "in". How about one of our very old members who left to work for IGN?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
