Product reviews

[Jackolantern]

What would everyone think about having a "Product Reviews" forum? We could post our reviews of programming books, IDEs, websites, and even movies, music, etc. Everyone loves making their opinion known (I do), and it would be an organized way to chime in on all kinds of things.

That would be a great idea! I love to give movie reviews, especially right after I see them...

[ZeroComp]

Yes I would love to see that! I could help because I have 6 programming and game development books so I could submit reviews for them

[hallsofvallhalla]

that sounds awesome. Do you mean a section here on these forums or a brand new forums?

[Jackolantern]

Just a section on these forums

[hallsofvallhalla]

kewl then you can be in charge of that area let me know the best way to set it up, one singe topic or a break down like the mmo tutorial section, ect...

[Jackolantern]

Cool, thanks! Maybe the best way would be to have one major folder, and then two sub-folders: "Development Related Reviews" and "Other Reviews". Or if anyone else has any better ideas. Probably filling it up with all different genres of sub-folders would spread it out too thin.

agreed I will set it up and we can change it later if need need be.

You could always have:

I. Product Reviews
A. Games
B. Consoles
C. Computers
D. Movies
E. TV Shows
F. Books
G. Music

etc...that way they have their own section...or something similar... Just a thought

My worry with that is that each section would only have 1 or 2 threads for a long time. Maybe everyone could just put what kind of thing they are reviewing in parenthesis, like:

"Where the Buffalo Roam (movie)"
"Bayonetta (XBox 360)"
"PHP Game Programming (book)"

...etc. If it gets confusing this way, we could try it a different way
