After having read all 7 pages of this thread....

Any type of "rating" or "comment" system would be a horrible, horrible, horrible idea. Just do a search for phrases like "portal suggestion" or "gallery suggestion", both here and at vb.com, and you can see what starts out innocently enough turns into a ugly mess. Not to mention that fact that it would introduce a factor of liability for Jelsoft if somebody was to leave false and/or libelous feedback about a product or service.

- Having a 3rd party directory of products & service providers is a good idea.

- Having either a Jelsoft certification process or a Jelsoft program that charges a fee (kind of like a "Jelsoft Partners Program") to prevent obvious spamming of links is a good idea.

- Having the directory on one of the existing vB.xxx sites is a good idea.

- Having any type of rating or comment system is a very bad idea. aranoid:

Somebody mentioned a product like vBa Links would serve the job... I agree, as long as the rating and comments options were turned off. :ermm:
