GP is slowly becoming just another site IMO the main reason for it is the bland and impersonal articles.

Whoever the head editor is he/she/it should on every one post personal commentary on the article.

I do realize you guys are using a pool of editors to to do most articles thus each article needs to have a list of editors,ect that worked on it.

Its not hard to do and if you lose an editor ot 2 thats better than losing traffic,ect.

Another thing you can do is take the time once or twice a week and read or skim through comments of the articles done that week and comment on the comments.

Dennis managed to do this by himself surely you guys can do it with 5 or 10 times as many people!

Lastly it would help if you kept to political related items(means less work for the GP staff and the GC staff can handle more social things or just merge GP and GC that would make better sense IMO, give it the the title
Game politics, and culture news) if you merge the sites give them a picture header one is GP for political stuff one is GC for culture stuff, then add a selector thing so you can chose to show only one or the other.
