I want to say a few things I've noticed about the Website Review and Critic forum is that most people just post there asking for a review and don't give any reviews.......I personally give a lot more reviews then I post sites for review. I would just like to see more activity there, but maybe it's just me........

Anywho, had to vent

Well, personally, I'm not much of a designer, I like things simple...... I dont generally have much to add to the more constructive stuff... Most of the sites i've seen are well beyond my scope of coding, so i just look.

I just joined this forum, I plan on reviewing a lot of sites for fun. I'm not a professional, but I know a lot about nothing, and very little about everything. Haha. :)

I don't post all the time either and I'm not saying that everyone should post their. What I'm saying is that if you want a review, you should give some others a review!! Give and take.

hey get posting in there guys/gals.
dont you all take joy out of telling people the right royally cocked the site up?

I mean, if ive got time to throw a jpg together for someone and post it in there as an example of how to do a little better then you people can throw a couple of lines together as a demeaning comment?

The very core point of this topic explains why the majority of webmaster forums out there moderate their Reviews forum so that everyone must do x amount of reviews before being allowed to post their own request (a concept which I previously hadn't understood :blush: ).

I really have no intention of doing it here, so I encourage everyone to drop in and help each other out with constructive reviews whenever possible :D

I think the moderators should do the same thing as on Sitepoint.com

allow to post a site to review, only after the user reviews 3 sites himself.

nah, dont like that idea personally.

we should all simply use common sense, please dont prove the previous thread right that common sense is dead and burried !!

I always look at the websites, but don't reply that much. There are a couple of reasons for that...

1. I really don't have any opinion about the website.
2. I'm very picky and demanding, and therefor might think the website is not good enough.. But then I think not everyone is a designer/developer, and I don't want to post a negative reply.

It would be nice to have poll for a website review maybe.. So you can grade it 1 - 10.

that would be nice. I sometimes see some "painful" sites (not mentioning any..........) and I can't respond to them for fear of scaring them for life, but there are some great designs there and help is nice!!!!
