product reviews forum

I'm excited about this new feature!! Great suggestion!

It's easy to do a search, but a forum just for that would be good, too.

We thought of that; but our moderators are volunteers and we do think that would require too much time to organize. So a separate area (with a button at the top of the message board page) might be the easist way to do it.

Thanks again,

I am a moderator for a beauty-related EZboard and we have separate discussion forums for product reviews. Each topic is one product review and people can reply to that topic with their own review. It's worked out pretty well. The reviews also have a formalized structure so each one is laid out similarly. It's also intended to minimize the "me too!" type of unhelpful review. For example, the structure is like this:

Product Name
Manufacturer
Rating (1-5)
Recommend to others?
Price
Comments

Each topic can be "rated" by users (from 1 to 5 stars) so that people who don't want to write a formal review can just "vote" for their favorite products.

Here's the site, so you can see what I am talking about:
