Every month here at Camp Sonic, we take a brief moment to reflect upon all of the important happenings here, and in the greater Sonic Community. We do this in part to keep our readers updated with anything important they have missed over the course of the month, but also to share the love with the rest of the Sonic Community out there!

nice roundup and all..
and once again 2 updates a day.
are you cursed or something?
Apparently
But hey, that’s kind of a good thing for everyone when you think about it, right?
Maybe it’s just a way to get prepared for when the REAL updates start rolling in around November. I just know there are going to be some seriously busy days come later this year (heck, even E3 will hopefully bring some more updates)!
What are your future plans for the site actually?
For example, expanding the site editors to make coverage less of a job.
This is tough doing alone.
And you are playing with the idea to get forums once the game comes out,right?
This is a good place to dicuss the site,now all the game related comments are posted in the above news post.
@dragonite: It will probably be more suitable to make a formal announcement about the future direction for Camp Sonic at a later time, but in response to your questions:
- More editors is something I can certainly see happening in the NEAR future. Actually finding people who are committed enough, and well spoken to write for Camp Sonic is the difficult part.
- Forums are still a possibility, and yes, it’s very possible that we’ll see them after Sonic Unleashed is released. However, to this day, I still haven’t had a problem navigating our discussions. If there is a way to simply improve upon THIS system, it is also possible that we discover a better solution than a “forum” in the more traditional sense.
Last month sure did go by fast…
Here’s to July! Come on, E3!
just a few days to 15th july
just a lil longer till E3
