Well that makes it even more perplexing that they are not growing as fast as GB considering they are seasoned veterans.

I have a paper to turn in after spring break and it's more or less on what it takes to start and run a successful website, 
And the first site that came to mind for me was GB, If we define susses as 100k or more visitors per-month, An active community and has a user base outside the website's country or origin. Have you guys seen the Quancast.com stats for GB / Whiskey or have read the Whiskey Blog on the six figures funding they have raised?  It would leads me to think and I would argue many other people to think that the KEY to a successful website is a Large Budget, But this seems to conflict with the rise of GB, which some might consider meteoric, lets consider GB started in 2008, and sites such as 1up.com, gamespot.com, did not grow as fast within the same time frame just look at the stats at the Compete.com Stats. GB is up 111% in the past year When VS the other two. While the other two are not even close. So the idea that Money =  Successes is flawed I don't have the latest financial data on the other two but last I saw six figures numbers are something they are both familiar with. So in closing If its not the Money, Is is the community, Is it the content, Is it the websites layout, or is it attracting and  maintaining  the right user community and if so what's the formula for accomplishing that?  Or maybe they are all needed who knows.
 
someone suggest to me That  Jeff Gerstmann  has "a cult like following and they would follow him anywhere"

This being only my second post ever on the Bomb forum, I was astonished how quickly my first post had replies. In all the forums I've used around the Internet never have I seen a post by myself or anyone else get a response that fast. So
 I'm wondering do you guys only interact with the site in general because of the points and the recognition they bring? or is there anything that makes the Bomb community some how  unique verses that of, gamtrailers, ign, gamespot which are all sites I frequent.

I discovered the bomb a few months ago, registered yesterday and only now noticed I can display this site in a white & red version. The default black & red version is far too morbid at least that's the way I see it, so I'm sticking with the pure white and red, how about you guys which version of the bomb do you prefer?
