[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6984460, member: 12731"] I would love it if ENWorld set up a subforum where each new DMsG product triggered the automatic creation of a new thread (polling that site can't be hard), essentially bringing discussion away from the isolated comments system over there. It would then make it easy to start discussion about a particular product - just ask your question in its thread, and that thread would pop back up to page one. You wouldn't have to visit each individual product page to find any discussion. There would be one single place where you could easily find ALL discussion. Leading, I hope, to much more actual discussion... This would also be much more valuable customer feedback, at least for me, than the sales platform's grading and comments system. Simply sort this subforum on number of replies, and you would instantly see the most interesting products (the ones that garnered actual discussion). As it is now, I have next to no way to get an actual overview. The DMsG site certainly doesn't allow you to collate comments, and if a product is discussed it can be anywhere. The only way to get an overview would be to google each and every single product individually - a hopeless endeavor. Sorting that site on grade feels like Amazon. I'm just far too aware how relatively worthless simple grades are to me. If you can even trust them; far too many sales platforms simply make up or inflate grades. Compare to IMDB or BGG - even though they attempt to make grades more useful (by weighing grades made up of few or biased graders), I still end up getting much more useful info from actual reviews or actual discussion.
