VGG 2012 Goals

Wow, roughly a year and half old now and we've still so much growing to do. If you're new to VGG: Welcome! If you're not: Welcome back! With our goal of becoming a worthy successor to BGG and RPGG, and to provide a single global community and resource for gaming news in all forms, we grew a lot through 2011. And of course we don't want that to stop! With that in mind, find below some goals we want to achieve over 2012. We rely on user submissions, and it's only with your help that the site can become both an informative and welcoming port of call for serious and casual videogamer alike. Come on in and help us make things even better!
