    Get brewmaster to head this idea and we'll call the thread the 'Brew Review'

    On a serious note teccam makes a good point. And looking back I figure it would be better if peopl just posted their reviews in the build itself to generate more activity. Why take valuable bumps and comments away from the builds themselves

    Why not include reviews for the HGS then?  Seems like a review would fit in there really well.

    Could you incorporate it into the Bloodworks purging? Where you select a few of the BW builds, playtest them then feedback? You can offer the more promising builds some perspective, and put the final nail in the coffin of those beyond redemption?

    Hm you know that's a good idea. That might be the best way to incorporate reviews into the group.

    Well we don't plan to purge blood works. Reason being is we wouldn't have any fodder left for death matches. In fact that's half the reason we haven't done a death match in a while. We want the rank to fill up a bit more.

    It means more work for the writer, but the HGS posts seem to occur far enough part that it wouldn't be much of a problem.  And if it is, I don't see why it couldn't be a team effort between a reviewer and the HGS writer.  It's a 2-for-1.  Spotlight a build that deserves it and review it all at the same time.

    Part of me thinks it'd be better to transition into full on build reviews. A while back we used to have something called 'build of the week'. I think with the rank discussions featuring 2 or 3 worthy builds from their respective ranks at a time, hgs could be repurposed into a weekly review.

    That's a good point - so many builds are featured already.  Well then for the record, I support the transition from HGS to build reviews.

    Just to check in, has this gained any traction in the mean time? Because I think it's a real missed opportunity if it doesn't get picked up.

    I don't know about the general state of it but the HGS won't be changing. At the moment it is basically a review and a feature but I don't see any point in turning them into a review as long as interest in the HGS stays as it it (In general the response to them is fairly low. Occasionally  a build will get a good 10 likes or so but rarely.)

    If the HGS does pick up and this isn't filtered into the Rank Pages (which really seem like a better fit to me...The CB Hosts are listened to a tiny bit more than I am, Reviews written by them seems like it'd work better)
