The site needs to turn all the viewers it has steadily has into actual members of the community. For example, right now it has over 7000 viewers and only 50 actually registered users. The reality of it is the sites lacking something to make peope want to become a member. Not sure what SEO the site uses but im sure you'll find the average user spends less then 2-3 minutes.

Once the game actually comes out officially you will see ore of the same and just a slight influx of registered.

Might want to find some people to really go above and beyond to get even a fraction of the daily users to get involved.

Would be nice to see some premium options available for the site as well.

When it comes down to it, this is a guide site. Most of the people coming in are just checking on a hero they have never played before. Maybe they randomed him/her and just need a quick build, or they thought the hero looked cool and needed a quick build so they get to know that hero better. That's where almost all our viewers come from.

Getting actual members comes down to the community. We've got some big things planned for the future of the site that should really boost the community here, but if we want people to start coming here for more than just a quick build, it's going to be in the forums. With a productive community, there would be discussions that bring people in even if they aren't playing the game, they simply take part in the discussion because it's interesting in some way. It's up to the community to build itself.
