Meh, I dunno. I'm happy with there being a few big indie sites out there and specific (Click, Gamemaker et al) dedicated forums. And of course the super formal CT forums.
Well the site would be a site for indie developers to post there projects/demos and games on it but also to get feedback on them. This would include every developer language out there including click software but mostly it would be setup for developers who are going into the next step like selling there software. The news part of the site would focus on Indie-Development as a whole including XNA.
Be sure to follow us on the twitters for the latest and greatest: @dailyclick
Hmm, well I don't plan on doing anything major (game-wise anyway) with MMF2 so I guess if thats what the new site would focus on then I wouldn't really be contributing or anything... BUT! For the people out there that do want to move on to other other programming tools or to start selling games then for them I think it's a good idea.

Sorry, I'm just quite annoyed at the general direction the indie gaming community goes
I don't mind comparing myself to better people. That's how I improved the most and how most other people improved. I mind it when people who are no good at anything else compare people's experiments to their best work or when someone compares a fun, but sloppy game to another professional indie gamer working for a living.
There was a game called "Arena" once. It was great, a lot of fun, very simple, but allowed you to play in many different ways. But people hated it because it was sloppy, poor graphics, and lasted short (if you just play it one way). There are also a lot other great little games that many of the indie gaming "community" refused to acknowledge unless everyone else did: Gladiator, Crime Fighter, Superstar, Exile, Conquest of Elysium, Titans of Steel. CoE, ToS, Exile all 'evolved' into Dominions, ToS: Warring Suns, Avernum, and made enough money for their authors to live on. But the indie community certainly didn't help them :/
Hmm.. Gladiator, CF, and Superstar also seem to be on a lot sites, so that's OK . I'm still quite annoyed that the suckier, unoriginal games get a higher rating on those sites :/
Don't get me wrong.. I fully support the klik and indie gaming, I just don't like how biased the communities can be
