What would everyone think about having a "Product Reviews" forum? We could post our reviews of programming books, IDEs, websites, and even movies, music, etc. Everyone loves making their opinion known (I do), and it would be an organized way to chime in on all kinds of things.

That would be a great idea! I love to give movie reviews, especially right after I see them...

Yes I would love to see that! I could help because I have 6 programming and game development books so I could submit reviews for them

that sounds awesome. Do you mean a section here on these forums or a brand new forums?

Cool, thanks!

Maybe the best way would be to have one major folder, and then two sub-folders: "Development Related Reviews" and "Other Reviews". Or if anyone else has any better ideas. Probably filling it up with all different genres of sub-folders would spread it out too thin.

You could always have:
I. Product Reviews
A. Games
B. Consoles
C. Computers
D. Movies
E. TV Shows
F. Books
G. Music
etc...that way they have their own section...or something similar...

Just a thought

My worry with that is that each section would only have 1 or 2 threads for a long time. Maybe everyone could just put what kind of thing they are reviewing in parenthesis, like:
"Where the Buffalo Roam (movie)"
"Bayonetta (XBox 360)"
"PHP Game Programming (book)"
...etc. If it gets confusing this way, we could try it a different way
