No i fermly oppose, and i think Kosta does too.You cannot replace those reviews, as bad as they are, and that's how the whole concept of secondary reviews was born... to find way to make better reviews for existing games WITHOUT brushing aside the ones already there... it's not fair to throw to the garbage bin the work of somebody, especially when he helped the site right from the start, when, many of you weren't here.They helped the site when we didn't even have a forum

But I know of a review that has been replaced (The Secret of Monkey Island). I've no idea who replaced it, but the current review is by Faufhulfury and not a bad one - the previous was done by someone else (don't know who) and was just about 10 lines, not giving much information...

Well reviews should not be replaced, the reviews should just be added.

I'm with Omu and IS on this - as I tried to explain many times to that einherjar guy, we shouldn't be removing other people's work or replacing it just because it doesn't fit some people's ideas about the standards we should have, and most of the lower-quality reviews are from the very beginning of the site before there was a large community to help with reviewing; for instance, almost all of the reviews written by Kosta are very short and to-the-point because they were among the earliest.

Titan = very occupied with real life
Maikel = very busy with school and slaving for Kosta
Braindead = he already stated his view, I think
Kosta = has been dead the last 3 days, and is busy getting back on track with e-mails and creating work for his slaves.

I'm still thinking about wheter I find it to be a good idea or not. Sure it can be helpful, but it's also a lot of work and time you could also use to search other great games to add on the site. Plus I know the busiest man of all has to implement it. namely Kosta.

Hey!

Even though there are some good ideas for implementing multiple topics, I will have to say that I'm against it. First of all its a lot of work to implement, and because of some other duties at the moment I can't even begin to think about it. Secondly, as you all know it, it would be very demotivating for the translator / grammar crews, and translating to more languages is more important than having a few reviews for every game. Thirdly, I think one review per game is enough as having more would be confusing for the reader, and I doubt someone would really bother to read multiple reviews for one game.

I think the only time anyone would bother to read multiple reviews is if the first one was a bit short or you thought it didn't give a very good overview of the game, and the majority of the reviews on the site do that just fine, particularly the newer ones for the reasons described above; the most recent reviews written by people like myself and wendy (off the top of my head - there are more too) have been many times longer and more detailed than the early ones, and TBH I'd be a bit upset if anyone had enough of a problem with my review to want to replace/supplement it.

In fact, I would like to change my vote to a "No".
