Pros

Pro
Great for networking with other indie devs and reviewers

Spontaneous endorsements from bloggers, reviewers and other developers can generate as much or more interest as any direct effort on your part. TIGSource is positioned as a community for indie developers, making it one of the best places to catch the eye of your peers.

Pro
TIGSource staff might take interest and feature your game

The contributing editors of TIGSource are free to indulge their personal gaming interests, and frequently promote titles that they feel stand out in some way.

Pro
You can engage the community

The TIGSource forums have a lively community of indie game fans and other developers with over 20,000 members. The best way to build support for your game and company is to embrace the community and hear their input.

Cons

Con
Limited control over presentation

TIGSource Forums are designed to support a community of developers, not as an ideal marketing platform. Like most forums, you can start new topics and have limited control over the formatting of your own posts only.
