Tribal Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello Gang, I think its time for a Comparsion Area Rep To Gen.... So we have all Brands in one Area and Members can Put there comparsion Reviews in this section This makes it a lot easier for all.... What do you all think?

AmStaFF Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think this is a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 We already have that kind of area. And just like many of such obscure forum sections, nobody rarely posts there, and nobody rarely reads it. Kinda proves my point that you didn't even know it exists, huh? http://www.rwg.cc/members/Rep-vs-Genuine-f6.html We don't want to create more useless sections (even sections that are nice ideas in principle). Au contrary, we want to get rid of these sections which are equal to ghost towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Upps sorry..... But never browsed the Photograph Area.... Maybe thats the reason why not a lot members post there.... I think to rename it is much better ? I don't think its a useless Area but hard to find... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to rename it is much better ? We are in process of making things simpler here... and considering carefully what we really need and what not. You're right... the whole photography section is virtually a ghost town. It's one of the subsections that members wanted. Not a great success story. Members often suggest all kinds of subforums... thinking that they'd increase traffic... but the end result is just the opposite. These areas just divide the members, make gathering information more difficult... and it's a fact that they get used very seldomly. Why would you have to post it to a sub-subsection "Genuine vs. Replica"? If it's a good review, it'll get archived to posts like "Supporter review database" and "immortalized" that way. Let me ask you a question: If you have a gen and rep Rolex Submariner, why couldn't you post it to the Rolex section where it automatically creates a big following and gets a lot of attention (due to large number of regular readers)? Maybe you would post to the gen vs. replica section once, but after you'll notice that it won't create much interest/catch replies, you'll post to the Rolex forum next time. Some people even refuse to post their collections to "My Collection" because they don't get any replies... and insist that we keep them in the General Discussion. What purpose does the "My Collection" subsection have then... if nobody even notices the whole damn forum? Common sense doesn't have much to do with it, but that's how things are... and that's how the psychology in these forums work. Don't make simple things more complicated, that's what I've always said.

Sometimes I find this comparsions for different Brands only by hitting the new post button.... ..and there are really great posts about it.... Only my two cents ;9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes I agree. It's a good idea. We have to think about "highlighting" it and dividing it from the Photography section in the next forum update. Other option is that someone gathers all these gen vs. rep comparisons in one link guide (just like "Supporter review database") and keeps maintaining it.
