Like politicians... like unfortunately pretty much every government in the world! Indeed.

At least, politicians have to get elected and can only serve for a few years. Writing reviews should be fun, and not a stressful situation.

Yeah I remember them too. RyanAn was another one. Cool to see GFox in particular still popping up in the community from time to time. True; eternal role models there.

There are been some great reviewers back in the day, there were also great review mods. Sadly, things are not like that anymore.

There are not as many reviewers these days. Between stricter rules and reviews vanishing, it can really turn users off from reviewing.

Mainly in that if one gets review responses or not depended on how reviews were written and if an author felt like responding among other things. I can imagine a user or two had harassed authors at some point to respond which was probably an eye rolling kind of day. :o

Ah right, yeah, that makes sense. Didn't think there any particular reason for it, just that activity waned with time and less and less lists kept enough interest for someone to maintain them... but if that is indeed the case maybe it wouldn't be that great to bring it back. I felt like the overall number of responses was a pretty good reflection of how good a reviewer you were, though, so being at the top of a list like that would be like the ultimate recognition. :)

I recall running the club for almost a full year despite not really being active in it myself before I just stopped running it altogether and let a fellow club member take over running it. I know once I reach review rank #7 the gaps between you and the other 5 is going to be incredibly long and probably take months if not a year or so to reach up and over. >.<

Mmm I need to stop by a bit more, don't even know who's running the show right now... yeah, closing in on those top spots felt a bit disillusioning at first. :) But before you know it you´ve climbed past that barrier! The more people on the top the less big a gap it´ll be too.

Probably. :) Hope to see a new Golden Age for the reviewing craft some day too! The amounts on most of this list are still surprisingly low/similar... should make for easy gains and motivations if people do start jumping aboard.

I remember when this all started it was very active and the lists made it that much better. And have seen all the phases of reviewers come and go. Somany memories and late nights reviewing. Would be nice to see that again

Sometimes it was more like no nights at all. XD Just reviewing 24/7. The pace back then was crazy sometimes, but that was part of the fun too. A real race for reviews.

I will have to say Kwaz and hammyJammy Ryanan were my biggest battle racers but there was a few others cant think of there names, one or two of these people only wrote one line crap because that's how they kept up, but it was still some good memories.

Yeah I remember when KWAS was closing in there. :) For a while it seemed like he might really take over... until he just stopped. I seem to remember something about a permaban? After that one race the gaps between you two and the rest of us was just insane.

Also did find that icon, note in newspost.

What we really need is a new review movement, something to open up the floodgates again like in the good old days! :D Ah, I thought I recalled it being a ban that kept him away, though wasn't sure if it was a permanent one or no. Good knowing.

Reviews have always been left to a small select group. It can be tough for a newcomer to break into the established ranks.

I keep popping in thread expecting another notification from @Auz with the next update. We're due in a couple days or so, I imagine... right?! Unless I forgot what month it was again or something.

Also, @CyberDevil, a new review movement sounds like a plan. But what to review is the question.

But it has to be better than the Review Request Club. Or the review for review thread. Those have fallen into disuse, probably because not everyone has things that need reviewed. Who knows, maybe we could make it like some kind of book club... but for NG submissions.

I really like the idea behind the Review Request Club though. I feel like I would have been/would be much more active there if only your stats didn't get purged after a certain period of inactivity. I'm always away a couple months each summer, and having to start over every time I get back... not all that motivating. Curious if that's something that keeps more people away, or if it really has just grown old and outdated. The main idea's good. People still want reviews more than ever. Maybe just too much rule work, and too little marketing these days...

As for the review for review thread I didn't know about that one! :O In Audio huh, explains my lack of awareness (not that I don't like audio I'm just rarely ever in that forum)... seems to still be pretty active too...

Hmm book club, thoughts on how that'd work? Like the RRC with a certain selection of special review picks each week/month?

Could be. Although Ectisity... I swear if that's the right name. Not gonna try to @ because #socialanxiety... Ectisity ran the RRC for ages and then it gradually got more and more sporadic, to the point the crew has basically just fallen apart, and no one has taken up the reins since because it just feels really impolite and none of us wants to be a butt. That, or we're lazy.

Fairly. I'd pop in more often if it didn't require self-promoing every post. But I keep forgetting to go over there for that reason, haha.

I don't see why not. Although how to go about them, I dunno. I like the way the Reading Challenge threads @Jackho has been managing usually go. We eyeball something or wrap our lugnuts around it and leave a short review. Maybe could do something like that, set goals to review content, vote on our favorites for the month through some kind of google form. Who knows. The possibilities are endless.

Yepp you're right. A Norwegian dude, too! Our friendly neighbors! Nice. That does sounds pretty dystopian though. :/ I should check in more often there... just too... hmm... lazy/busy?

Yeaaah that sounds nice! Not all that similar to the RRC either. Like an evolved version of it. Much more of a community effort than a weekly todo list.
