Ballreviews Needs Your Suggestions For Updating The Site
« on: April 22, 2008, 03:49:24 AM »
Hello Everyone-

      We are looking to update the site with new features, and a better forum to keep Ballreviews as the best ball review site out there.  We are looking to add reviews for shoes, bags, and accessories.   Also we are going to implement video and picture uploads.  We are looking to you guys for any suggestions you have for the following categories - Layout, Content, Navigation of the site, and Forum Tools.  Please feel free to post any suggestions you have for these categories, but try to keep it short and sweet.  

Example post:  Forum Tool - I would like to have a better way of searching the forum.

      We thank you for your suggestions, and help in making Ballreviews the best it can be.

I like the star system to rate how good  or how bad the reviews are on the products. 1 to 5 stars.Makes it a lot easier to know how good it is.

I second the suggestion of keeping the non bowling related topics/replies off the homepage. I frequent that section often and it annoys me to see those debates continually plastered on the home page. I can simply go to the forum to see what is being discussed.

I would like to see a subsection for each ball company where technical aspects can be discussed. Hopefully BR can extend an invite to each company to have an insider join us to set the record straight and generally provide insight.

Thanks for staying ahead of the curve,
Joe.

I would like to see a  tutorial section set up specifically on  ball drilling, layouts and techniques as well as surface adjustments by hand and with a ball spinner.I think these sections could help out the fellow bowler who can't afford to run to the pro shop all the time just for minor adjustments that he can do himself.

what about a template that comes up when you go to review a ball.this might weed out the "hits like a truck" reviews.

Well, it might not prevent the truck thing, but it could make orientation easier - at least concerning specs of the specific ball, player, layout, etc. Some standardized format would not be a bad idea, though.

A direct link to the ball companies website so that any info that this sitr might not have can be found on their site plus when new stuff goes up on their website we can go directly from here to there to see it.

Is it possible to set up a technical talk session for the latest bowling technology?

Or set up a hooking ratio for the latest bowling ball?

pretty sure there is not a gun to your head forcing you to look at it..  Oh it is nice to have an off topic thread in ANY forum, for general talk about things not bowling related among this forums members..

What the hell are you talking about anyways?  That topic has almost as many hits as this one

I think you should have an IQ test. Most of the users here are dumber than a  box of rocks.
