Another Resource Center Suggestion!, ...website reviews Options

I think that it'd be interesting and helpful to have a subforum or section for website reviews. It can be it's own subforum or even within showcase. I know that this sounds like what the showcase forum's purpose is, but website reviews are helpful because people can get feedback about more than just their design. It can be separated into different subforums such as blogs, portfolios, forums, etc. Each thread can be in a form of a poll with ratings (1-5 stars) and viewer feedback can include comments about content, design, professionalism, etc. People will submit their website for review once, instead of showcasing it every single time there's a new layout.

Kind of like this: http://www.yoursite.nu/websites/5666

I personally think it'd be a good addition because people always want more hits on their website and the more reviews, the better, so it'll possibly bring more people and traffic to cB, which is a plus. It'll also bring more views to the individual sites being reviewed, so it's a plus for them as well. It's... basically a win-win situation, no?

I think that if we put too many subforums in the showcase booth it's just going to confuse some people. The Showcase booth doesn't get a ton of traffic as it is, and if we have a lot of subforums there it might become a hassle. although it would be nice and more organized... but right now we don't have a problem with being able to tell if the person is showcasing a website or a graphic or whatever.

I like the idea of having them with affilates. Just throwing it out there, but it would be nice if the showcase booth stayed as it is and someone who didn't want their website reviewed on here but there layout could still post their layout in the showcase booth...
