| I don't know if this is feasible, but I have a proposal. I think it would be a good idea to have a forum dedicated to SMW hack reviews. A subforum would be the most desirable option, but I'm not sure if AcmlmBoard supports subforums. If not, then a "missing" forum could be dedicated for this purpose. A missing forum is one of the many numbered forums that doesn't appear on the main pagelist (I don't want to create clutter.) For example, this forum's number is "8", Pokemon Hacking is "15", Officers' Club is "24", etc. Since many of these values are unused (example), it wouldn't be much of an issue to dedicate one for this purpose. This forum would consist of one thread for each hack created, each thread being created by a moderator or someone designated to make a standardized format for the review thread introductions. Preferably, the forum's setting would be such that only a moderator could post threads - hence it would be orderly. Each thread would consist of a poll for a hack's rating (perhaps on a scale of 1-5) and replies could be used for individual users' comments. Having an organized knowledge base like this would help users new to the SMW hacking scene to pick out a hack that appeals to them. At the moment, my completed hacks thread is well-organized, but contains little information about hacks that would give a user good knowledge about which ones he might prefer. Designating a "missing" forum to reviews would be a good way to organize this information. It should also be mentioned that the idea of missing forums could be used for other things as well - for example, questions asking for help in a hack could get their own subforum, etc. However, I think if anything deserves its own area, it would be hack reviews. |

Those aren't unused forums. Those simple don't exist.  |

| I fail to see the distinction between a forum that doesn't exist and a forum slot that isn't being used. In any case, I doubt that this board system supports subforums, so the new forum filling that slot would be every bit as top-level as the SMW hacking forum. In any case, that's an interesting idea, hhallahh, but I'm sure the same thing would work with threads in this forum if people could stick to a unified format for information about their hacks. The moderator idea to enforce a unified format is interesting, but I don't know who you're going to find to do something so tedious . |

The moderator idea to enforce a unified format is interesting, but I don't know who you're going to find to do something so tedious The problem is that, as is, a hack review thread for hack X will eventually get lost among all the other topics and never surface. Also, there's no rating system or template that would make comparing hacks possible. (edited by hhallahh on 09-09-04 10:53 AM) |

| What of a hosted review system seperate from the board? Even I could set something up on a free HostUltra account. | |||

| It should be connected to the board. Really, a webpage would be the most preferable thing, but I don't know if anyone would put the necessary effort into that. | |||
