So, I think my website's roots are almost planted firmly. Just a few more things to brush up on before it can explode.
I need some advice from you guys. Basically, my site is running off the vBulletin engine. I have the vBulletin license and the blog license. My site is about reviewing video games, and general video game discussion. However, I do not believe I have a very good system going for submitting reviews.
What I have now is a reviews subforum. Sort of like this:
General
-New Members, Contests, Site News, etc
Reviews
-Game Reviews
-Hardware Reviews
Industry News
-Software News
-Hardware News
-Other Industry News
Off-Topic
-OT Discussion
That's not the exact wording of my subforums, but you get the idea. So, as you can imagine, someone just posts a review in the Game Reviews section. The only way for someone to find what they want is to use the search function. So, I made it a rule that reviews must have their titles like this: [SYSTEM] - Title of Review
System would be PS3, Wii, 360, etc... Title of the review MUST include the game's title somewhere.
Even if I had separate boards for each system, it would still mean you have to use the search function to find a particular game.
Is there a better way to do this? Something a little more organized? What suggestions do you guys have?
