So I've noticed the reviews on our site...

Are actually written pretty poorly.
KRYSTAL likes to use a lot of run on sentences.
Anyone else notice this?

No, because I dont know where to find it xD
Link?

Yeah, artiboy brought it up once...

I am pretty sure that we should get new people.
I notice grammar errors from time to time.

Oh good, it's not just me.

Link me? I'll be sure to write one long ass review.

EDIT: oh that thing. It's amazing how the person reviewing games mostly, is reviewing absolute shit, poorly at that, and is getting paid for it.

So this translates to us needing better quality control??

Link, anyone?

I thought it wouldn't matter if people wrote poor reviews. Mainly because Arti has to approve the articles.

Krystal is one of the editors that is actually hired. Arti still approves them.
Sorry Alex, but it's pretty shitty.

It's easy to complain from the sidelines when you're all doing zerrk yourselves :p

I offered to edit, but you'd rather do it yourself.

You were trying to extort me out of my hard earned cash!

Less than you are paying members to write articles, and probably less than you are paying your foreign editors.

Editing an article is 1,000x easier than writing one.

Havent seen you do either. Just sayin. I was just trying to help.
I was the one who suggested user generated content, you hadnt even thought of it.

And since then, we've had all of two submissions :p

Needs moar promotions. People dont look at the announcements much.

I guess in my own personal opinion, its hard to take those articles seriously.
I mean any of us can copy paste from wiki. What original content there is just happens to be poorly written.
I was just asking if anyone else noticed.
As far as doing zerrk goes, I wouldn't say we're doing zerrk.
I think smithono is right about more promotions. Plus didn't Thomas set up a writing team for a reason?
Albeit, I haven't seen them in a while.
I also suggest listing things as: Sony, Nintendo, PC, Microsoft, Technology, Misc.
Instead of: PC, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, Technology
Or at least something to that extent. Since we have no real section for the Nintendo DS, 3DS, or even the psp.
Though I guess I can assume the psp would fall under PlayStation.
Also keep in mind the sony vita will be coming out fourth quarter. I assume that will be a popular topic.

In four weeks I'll have a computer and some free time. I will review every game that I've played in recent memory(PSP games mostly), compile some "coming soon title" reviews and such, write a thought piece on how older games and retro gaming are appealing to more,and offer to act as an editor and I'll do it all for free cause I'm hard core like that. Plus I'll do it all with the MLA Handbook and Eat, Shoots, and Leaves sitting next to me.
I'd also say let Cl0ver tell these writers what to write about, since she seems plugged in.
Also what happen to our writing team(user based)? And by team I mean gotbrains or Manora or whatever.

Bitches don't know 'bout my planned articles.
