So, I am currently a part of a small gaming community that is currently going through some important changes, such as a renaming/rebranding, general facelift, and overall expansion of the games we focus on.

Whereas we do want to grow this community to the point that its name is recognizable to a certain population, to get there, however, there are several challenges in front of us, with the biggest being that there are already several communities out there that have already made a name for themselves (such as MOBAfire).

I made this thread to hopefully learn some of MOBAfire's past, the challenges it had to go through, and exactly how it grew to the community it is today. I do understand that the guides is MOBAfire's main selling point. Millions of guides to browse through on any champion of LoL is obviously a great marketing tool.

But, in order to get those millions of guides, MOBA had to start somewhere.
Thank You Emoriam!

Reason why I think mobafire is popular:
1. It is related to league of legends
2. It has guides that are able to made by anyone, for anyone.
3. It pops up on top when you search for guides on google (which is both a result of popularity as a cause of popularity I think)

Other than that, I dunno, might wanna contact Matt or FlashJ via PM. They're the mobafire lords :3
Change is gooooood

Also I think MobaFire was there pretty soon after League of Legends became even a little bit more recognized.
