The main thing you need for good visitor numbers is either a never seen idea (rare these days) or actually much time ... take NGEmu ... we started with 4-5 visitors a day up to around 30.000 daily now - but it took time, the growth was with a good rate.

Additionally, you'll have to be willing to invest some money to get started ... you'll need a .com domain, possibly a commercial message board solution (see the one you're using right now), a good webhost for your site (you *may* find free ones for gaming sites, can't guarantee you that though as the banner market is difficult right now).

Your ideas sound interresting, though I don't know if many other sites like that exist - but what it will certainly require is much time (as any other site does BTW (by the way)).

Much luck,
