Happy 1st Birthday Spotgamers!
Wow seriously we never thought that we would even celebrate or even remember when we 1st started last year. To withstand till today is an achievement by itself. But this achievement was not just from our part alone but also from our beloved readers who has been following,reading,commenting and etc etc on our tiny blog. Really we are grateful for your never ending support. Thanks guys.
So without further a due,let us all reviewed back the ups and downs during our 1st year.
When we 1st started out, we have around 7 members (Rinie,Han,Gavin,Moot,Hafiz,Terence and Rei) which each of the members has a specific roles within a rigid system. We were doing great for just a new blog when we manage to generate at least 2 articles per day. Our 1st tournament coverage was ESWC followed by CEL Games and WCG. This is when we realized that though we are new we are treated as part of the media group as well. This somehow motivated us indirectly to keep on doing in what we believe in.
But after WCG somehow the momentum starts to drop. Most of the reason was because there were not much going on after WCG and therefore not much to write about. Then 1 by 1 some of the members going into inactive mode because they have to be committed to their own life. Though they are inactive but still they will contribute when ever they can which we truly appreciate the support.
And due to our commitment towards our objective to provide exposure for the gamers, it manage to inspired new members to joined in such as Tris, Kieran and TPK thus continuing the spirits that the former members has left behind. Spotgamers has also changed from a more articles community base to a more casual base such as the G-Life series and DYK series. Slowly but surely we are learning to improved ourselves to achieve our main goal and learning how to create a better articles for our readers.
One of our boldest move is when we decided to organized the 1st ever Spotgamers Gath & Award Ceremony in conjunction with Youth 09. Man it was crazy! I mean, we dont have any budget at all and we are just a new and small gaming media.But no matter what we were determine to do it. And for the love of the game, SMM,MYGO,UCPRO were kind enough to help sponsors cash & prizes for the event. The gath was hmm i would say very casual. Everyone was like chilling around and was definitely like piranhas when we served the food! In less than 5 min all gone! Though we were glad that everyone enjoyed it but deep inside we were not really satisfy with ourselves mainly for our lack of knowledge in organizing an event. We are definitely looking forward to do another 1 next year and we will definitely improved it of course!
Then, Spotgamers received its highest point when we started to write on Cyberfusion. Hundreds and hundreds of views we received in a day finding info about Cyberfusion. It was really an exciting moment for us because we know that this would be the opportunity for us to make it or break it. And thus we never missed a single chance to provide exposure for the gamers at the same time provide all the info that we can find about Cyberfusion to our readers. We also did a live broadcast from Cyberjaya as well. Proud to say, we are one of the participants who broke the World Record for the longest running LAN Party in the world.
From just a few followers, now we have approximately 26 followers with at least 50-100 hits per day. We know its not much to shout about but seriously we really do appreciate for all the supports that all of you had given to us. I still remember many were skeptical about our effort at 1st that we couldnt last. Truth to be told, it wasnt easy especially the commitment part. Not to mention we are doing this for free! But we promised that we will keep improving and will one day achieved our main objective.
Our next step would be having our own domain soon as well as increasing our exposure to the outside world. So please do spread the word around about our little blog yea ^^
Thank you Han,Gavin,Moot,Hafiz,Terence,Rei,Tris,Kieran and TPK for your contribution to the team. Thank you our followers for your never ending support. And especially thank you God for given us the strength to continue until today.
So lets celebrate! Happy 1st Birthday Spotgamers! ^^
