DragonByte Reviews is an advanced review system that allows you to get your users interacting with your forums on a new level
Uses
With a wide range of permissions, you can allow your users to create/rate reviews, and customize it to your liking. You can also setup separate instances of the review system with different rating questions, custom fields and a review front page look.
You can even tie the review system into any product system with a little custom work.
Translations available @ our forum
Support for translations handled by the translator in its respective threads only.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Major Features
Multiple Instances: You can run an unlimited number instances of the review system on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it with the help of the customizable display blocks, custom fields and custom rating questions.
AJAX integration: We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads, including adding/viewing comments and rating reviews
Images in WYSIWYG editor: We added the vB WYSIWYG editor with the ability to add inline images into the review text so that you can create reviews that pop.
Front End and ACP Approval: Review approval and editing can be done quickly through either the front end by moderators or in the ACP by adminstrators.

I have a forum full of reviews as threads. Is there a way to import those?
Would the first post be the review and the following posts comments? I looked at your forum and it looks like all the info is within the post, no custom fields on there? I could build an importer for it but there would have to be a lot of clean up done after if you wanted it setup right.

Yep, that's right - mainly. That data has been through a few imports and at least 3 review systems (a custom one, GARS, another I don't recall the name of) over the last 13 years before being archived as a forum after the upgrade to vB4, so it's a bit messy.
