Dota is definitely a big deal, after the million dollar prize of the international. The game isn't even out of beta and its the largest played game on steam. Now from all this there are going to be many people making their way towards dota, and DotaFire is the top hit on google when you type in "dota 2 guides." I'm making this little post to see what people think about the website.

What is good about it?
What is bad about it?
Are we missing important features?
How can we make it better?
Etc Etc

I'll start. Mine are just mostly things I think that could be better.

1. What is up with the voting system? I don't understand it much at all. I think if we made it similar to reddit, where there were upvotes and downvotes, and the best guides came to the top and the worst went to the bottom, it would be much more user friendly.
2. I think we should be able to vote to get guides removed, as there is always some ridiculous troll guide out that is just taking up space.
3. I think we should have a seperate section for builds and guides.
4. Having a guide section dedicated to beginners, I think it would be a nice thing to do for all the noobies that will be coming in wanting to play.

These are just a couple of things I came up with on the spot. I think this is a great website and will continue enjoying being a part of this community.
