Before posting I just want to thank the XenForo Staff for the help they've provided over the last couple of days. Without the help we got from these forums, this community would be nowhere near ready to open! I can't thank them enough!
A couple of notes:
-I'm not the owner of the site in question, but I run the community side of things. Not terribly relevant for this purpose, but I thought it was worth noting!
-We're dealing with a little cleanup mess after our import from vB3 (duplicate threads and post in some places), so please ignore the duplicate content. We are working to clean it up as quickly and effectively as possible.
-The style is a bit minimal, I know, but there will be alternative styles to select in the future. The work mark logo draws a lot of criticism these days because it is quite dated, but this logo has been with the site for a long time and the owner of the site does not want this to change for the default style. Any suggestions outside of that are most welcome, however! Criticisms are also welcome (only way to improve!)
-Also, please ignore the Ad placeholders -- this will be fixed once our partners have our new location.
With that said, the link: http://community.gamewinners.com
About GameWinners
GameWinners has been around since 1998, but can trace its routes all the way back to a Commodore 64 and 3DO-based BBS system from 1985. The forums were originally created in October of 2000 using UBB, though migrated to vBulletin 2.2 in late 2001. You can actually see a history of the GameWinners forums by scrolling down to the 'History' section here: http://community.gamewinners.com/index.php?threads/welcome-to-the-new-gw-community.80805/ and clicking through the spoilers. GameWinners specializes in Cheat Codes, and has an archive of hundreds of thousands of games' worth of codes. With the industry moving away from cheat codes, GameWinners is transitioning more into a game help site with a focus on competitive and co-operative games. We're also in the process of establishing a hub for members who need help with multiplayer achievements, teammates for online games or just some extra friends online.
One final point: You might also notice a disproportionately high number of high post count members compared to the 1.2 million posts showing in the forums (see: http://community.gamewinners.com/index.php?members/). This is because the forums have seen over 8.6 million posts in their time, but due to constraints with the old servers we used we had to routinely prune the forums to between 1.2 and 2.2 million posts. We kept post counts in tact, so a few members have quite large post counts.
Thanks for looking!

. Trying to modernize a site like this is a bit of an issue, but we're working on it! I do appreciate that the style for most is very empty and probably not visually appealing, but the idea behind that was to keep the aesthetics as close to what we as a community were familiar with; however, I'm not terribly fond of the final results, so I'm working on tweaking things and trying to give it a bit more character so there might be a bit more to draw the eye because it is definitely a bit on the boring side right now.
