@Beep21: Let me tell you a story...

Essentially I am the founder of Wikianswers Xbox [link], which means I play Xbox, and I do. A little time ago I was in a Call of Duty game of Demolition and was doing fairly well. As I was playing through Xbox Live, obviously there were other people on my team. One player during the latter half of the game had asked the rest of our team about some glitch, and somebody had told him to google it. He did. As he pulled up the page, he began reading the contents of the page which thoroughly explained the glitch and he was quite please about it.

Interested about what site he found this on, I asked him what it said in the top left corner. He said "the Xbox logo and Wikianswers — Wikianswers with a lowercase a" It was the site I helped build.

If you spend some time on your own Wikianswers project and get help form other users, wonderful things can happen, it's just like creating your own wiki. Why make a wiki on Wikia when you can use Wikipedia? Why create a topic-based Wikianswers when you can use Wikianswers? If you can answer the first question the second one will come easily. It was obviously apparent Xbox Wikianswers was ahead of the original Wikianswers in terms of gaming.

If you give the wiki time, you'll be surprised how great things can go.
