The only other one I've ever found was the linuX-clan.net, but it's all in German.
There are others, sure, but only as subforums.
So maybe you could get more users here by pointing out to them that this is (unless I'm wrong) the only english speaking forum purely dedicated to general gaming discussions on all Linux distros.
It's what attracted me here at least...
The problem I am having is other Linux websites don't want to feature any of our content, omgubuntu never reply, webupd8 replied with our content isn't fit for his website...then 2 days later posted gaming news which annoyed me a bit.
Lxer accept most of what i submit to them as does reddit.
Need to find other places to get the word out to grow the website, give me a hand folks and spread the good word. I want to be able to keep bringing you the news!
A Facebook contest seems to be the method of the day to get a lot of followers. Someone likes your contest, sharing it on their FB page, which begins a trickle-down situation as the exposure grows exponentially. I would suggest giving away a Steam credit, game pack or particular linux game and have the contests on a regular schedule. A contest that can be counted on will have much better success than something that happens every couple of months or so. Also, your core users will often be happy to make a small PP donation to help gather the money needed for the prizes.
I don't have an FB account so I can't help you on that end, but I will donate some money to buy the first prize :D
Maybe you guys can host a free server with blurb about the site. Most know what I'm about and will mention games for me to post during the game night and it's a good way to get to know ppl in your community.
