Game Discussion Board

As a RF Gen FNG, I'm not sure if this idea has been looked at before, but some comments in the "Progress Tracker" thread had me thinking that it would be awesome to have a discussion thread linked to each game in the Collector's Tools.

For example, if I looked up a game in the database and was looking at the page that shows its info, collection stats, photos, etc.; it would be awesome if there was a discussion threat at the bottom where members could write their comments on that specific game.

I'm thinking things like mini-reviews, historical info, specifics on how to identify why it's a variant, or just what you liked/disliked about the game.

Now I'm not very technically inclined so I have no idea how hard that would be or if its even feasible...but RF Gen has some smart mofos, and this would be a good place for them to share what they know and for dummies like me to soak up that knowledge

this  isn't exactly what you mean, but there is a bunch of extra sections for entries that are rarely submitted for, like trivia. some of what you mentioned could fit into one of those boxes. as for an actual discussion tied to an entry, i'm not sure...it's a neat idea though.

That would add almost 80,000 extra child boards to the forum, and be extremely difficult for the staff to moderate.

Go check out x360a.org every game has its own board and many of them get ignored or have a dozen topics like
"is it good?"
"this game sucks"
"glitch on level 1 LOST SAVE FILE"
"glitch on level one save file erased"
"save file erased in level glitch am i screwed?"
"did anyone buy this game?"

Obviously some of them have some useful information.
But really i would find it extremely excessive and unnecessary when you can talk about any game(s) right here on the forums or in your personal blog, or submit things like trivia and reviews to the game/hardware pages.

Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at first, but between the drain on resources and already available forum options, my idea seems a liitle unnecessary...thanks for the feedback!

I like the idea though, and it piggybacks off the feedback from driph about having personalized information for each game... seems there may be some interest in it after all.
