sites would also be merged into GamesRadar+. On 4 February 2016, Daniel Dawkins was announced to have been promoted GamesRadar+ Global Editor-in-Chief. In 2019 he became Future's Content Director of Games and Film, and was replaced in the role of editor by Sam Loveridge. In May 2019, Rachel Weber was appointed as Managing Editor. In 2020, the comics website Newsarama became part of GamesRadar+. Community GamesRadar has hosted numerous online message boards and forums from as early as 1998 in its original Future Gamer (and then Daily Radar) incarnation, including international versions such as GamesRadar.it. Future Publishing's enthusiast video and computer games magazines such as N64 Magazine often featured prevalent advertising for GamesRadar+ to encourage participation from readers. In 2008, the site moved towards a single login functionality for reader comments on articles and posting on forums, for which the newer US forums were chosen due to Future's strategic shift to garner US readership and compete with sites such as IGN. On 14 August 2008, it was announced that the UK forum would be closed down and merged with the US forums. Moderators of the original UK forums instead launched GRcade, occasionally noted for its own breaking news.
