CLGaming evolving [gonna block em'all!]

Hey Summoners!

As you may or may not have noticed CLGaming.net grew a lot in the last couple of months. The site/stream is so huge that we're not a little side page anymore. Some days ago our stream broke the 5k viewers mark, while that may not sound much compared to day9 having 12k viewers, hes streaming 1 hour while we're having a ~12 hour uptime. Given these facts its pretty save to say CLG is most viewed gaming stream (besides GOMtv) on the interwebz right now.

So why am I writing this to you guys? Well we have several changes coming in the next weeks and I want you to know about those changes.

Bad news, everyone!
We're getting ads. We want atleast to get the running costs back.
Good news, everyone!
Nope we're not going to bomb you with 2 popups, a flash video, 4.73 banners, an advertising background and an overlay so your computer overheats while adblock+ trys to block em'all. As far as I can tell now, its going to be one banner at the top and it's not going to be some random viagra ads. We're searching for ad partners you may be interested in.

Good news, everyone!
The site gets an overhaul again to fit the current needs. The new theme will be A LOT brighter and will look a lot more modern. But don't worry I'm creating a second 'fancy' layout that should look like this one.


That concludes all I had to say. Please give us your feedback!

Thank goodness for the fancy option. I use the site as my homepage and I don't like bright homepages!

When can we expect the changes to come? Are we talking days, weeks or months?

I think you should be thinking of ways to involve the community more into the forums. Considering that we regularly have several thousands of viewers, only seeing a few post per day in the forum section seems, hm, improvable.
An obvious way to increase the number would be guides and discussions by the clg-members, provided they are willing to do that.

You might want to contact the staff of TeamLiquid.net (another gaming website) as their adds are both small and usually pretty relevant to my interests (nerdstuff)
