New title and subforum (to boost activity)

[Kody]

Not to be a downer or anything, but I agree with Xnite about no one wanting to read reviews of flash games. The main reason that I read any type of review is to see if the product is worth spending my money on. Since flash games are free and most don't take more than a couple of hours at the most, I don't see this idea being effective at all.

How about we hunt everyone down who left and get them back on this forum to increase activity, so I have a message board I can chill on lol.

Smart idea, nice to see you and Kody back again.

I was just kidding lol... it's a little farfetched. The community died a long time ago, I bet everyone's too busy with their own lives to come back.

Sadly true.

i just wish we had a time machine! D:

At the moment Capitano, I consider you to be the only one who could qualify as a Reviewer. For now atleast.

Well thank you asd. But why just me?

[asd123]

Well, you are the only reviewer I have seen with enough competency to make a review that won't scare away potenial forum members. You got a good head on your shoulders, to say the least.

This would probably help to boost the forum activity a bit. In theory.
I had this idea while reading this thread: http://www.arcadeprehacks.com/forum/...ke-Games/page2


How about introducing a new official title of "Reviewer" or something.
Add a new subforum called "Arcade Prehacks Game Reviews" or whatever.
Inside that subforum, create one subforum per reviewer, which only the reviewer, with the official reviewer title, has permission to start threads in, but everyone else can comment on those threads.

So the forum tree would look like this: Forum > Community Forum > Arcade Prehacks Game Reviews > John Doe's Reviews


There will obviously need to be set requirements that someone must achieve before they are given the title of "Reviewer". I'd suggest that the reviewers should have clear English (since it's the APH default language), not known to insult others, able to take criticism well and has good writing skills (ie doesn't use text speak).



Additional idea: When a game is reviewed, a link to the review can be placed below the game, directing clickers to the forum to see the review. Hence bringing in more activity.

Yeah, there are tons of senor members who have played a lot of games, so that would be good. also, additional Idea should be included.
but, there would be the problem of finding the game in all of the reviews, and, should non-reviewers be allowed to post on them?
