Anyone want to start a review site?

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Remember back On BH, some guy named snarkyjohnes tried to get us to help him with a site? since that failed, Does anyone want to make a join one? Here?


So far:
Yoshilime: Reviewer
XCVG: Reviewer
DJ711: Reviewer
J.D: Reviewer

Neildo_64 :Admin
: minion

As in, recruit people here to run it, or have the hosting on the modretro domain, as in "review.modretro.com", or something?

 

[XCVG]

It would be cool to have a review site here too. We could review mainly classic consoles, games, and accessories, but there's probably other things to review too. Like dremels and screens.

I'm in for that idea.

 

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Reviews.modretro.com would be sweet. Maybe you can add that ad pay out to.

Way I'd like it:
Any forums member can submit a review for anything within certain guidelines. (No, you cannot review that new K&N Intake you got for your Jeep, thank you.)
If it meets the guidelines/rules, and is approved, it's posted on the reviews site, full credit, etc.
I think it'd be awesome if the Ad Share did carry over, but I don't think it'd be a deal breaker if it weren't.

 

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Exactly. Who would review the reviews?? Would anyone do video reviews?

 

[XCVG]

I could review some stuff.

Anyway, we should allow video games of course, and also modding-related stuff.

 

[D.J]

I'd be intrested in doing it. I could do video reviews but I can write as well.

 

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Who should be put in charge? PT, BAC, or SS?

 

[XCVG]

None, me. Just kidding. There should be a voting thread, I vote for Bacteria.

 

[jleemero]

There should be a specific person who manages it, with superiors who can override his decisions if need be.

 

[Neildo_64]

If there was a review site connected with MR, I think it should have different admins than the forums. I would be willing to post a few in depth reviews for some things if this goes anywhere.

 

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Wow, people hated me on BH, but people are nice to me here!

I agree and disagree with different admins for both. i agree because we can't have the same people, might become like a dictatorship, (no offense), but the mods and admins are good, so i disagree.

It's kinda like Mario being the wiki admin, he has powers on there, but no powers on the forums, and can be overpowered by the forums admins if needed. I vote a different person to be on the reviews (good god, not me!) so that the admins/mods don't have so much work to do.

 

[jleemero]

Yeah I can agree with that.

 

[Yoshilime M.R.]

Ok. Who Shall be Review Admin, Review mods, And writers? I shall edit post one to represent who is interested.

 

[jleemero]

How about we allow the actual administrators of the site decide

Well anybody can add a review, I'd assume. At least if you're registered on the forums, that is. And, you'd only need 2-3 people of equal rank to monitor the reviews, you wouldn't need an admin. I say: palmertech (it's his site) themadhacker, and yoshilime. That's just who I would put in charge. It's really up to the head honcho himself, and his minions

How about for writers, we each choose a game or be assigned one and write a mock review. Whoever writes the best one would be choosen for writers.

 

[Neildo_64]

What is going to be reviewed? Games? Consoles? Accessories? All of the above and then some?
