I do believe the site is now ready for people to use it. There are some additions or changes I will be making but nothing drastic. I am rather satisfied that most of the important bugs are worked out.
Feel free to start your own profile and be rated as a gamer.

Do you know who put I AM GAY at the end of my comments?...thats not cool...mainly because someones sexual orrientation isnt something to make fun of...I am infact not gay but I find it rude that someone would try to "make fun" of me if I were...I have a girlfriend and am not gay...but theres nothing wrong with being gay...
P.S. Sorry It just pisses me off when people try to use "gay" or "$$$" as an insult...

if so...make it so we can have 2 pics...one of our set-ups and one up us gaming...although the people that are underage prolly want have as good a set-up as those with their own homes...but you could rate on age and set-up...and maybe social status...or is that going too far?

Well I hope to add additional pics as an option. It would be cool to have gamers upload either kick ass screenshots (final bosses and such) and their game rigs. I think gamers should be rated on their geekiness factor.
Like the site says...rate the gamer! You have a choice from noob to l33t...
I also will add to the profiles favorite game and systems owned. Still got lots of work to do really but the site is totally fine for the moment. I think another couple days to get the extras done is good.

Well, no. This site has alot going on: Cheep Deals, strange/or even interesting off topic discussions, soap opera legend threads (Cloudspekk and James password goof), interesting discussions (Game Industry Crash True or False) etc. What I see in the rate the gamer is, well a chance for 16 year olds to mug for the camera (which is fine I guess for them) and to show some old pics of hot women (which is fine for all eh?). I guess, to me, your rate the gamer site just surprised me as your posts I've read, and your Videogamedeals.com site seems more thoughtful than this. I was just checking if I'm just being obtuse about it or not. I'm not gonna rag (well from here on out at least) about it or anyone who posts on it.

Anyways...I was thinking about adding a lot more to the profiles...like extra images to display your game setup. And icons to represent the system a person owns. And a spot for favorite game. This could help in the rating.
That sounds excellent.
