What Should I do for my Review?

BlackBlade · 02-05-2008, 03:03 AM

I am posting this to ask the community what they want to see. I have been in the process of reviewing all of the major anti-virus, anti-malware, firewalls, and security tools out there, as some of you may know. I have completed all of my testing and scoring, but the official typed review is not finished.

So, what I am wondering is, do you, the community, want me to post the entire review at once, or release it in "installments" in a locked sticky post in the Tech section? I know that some of you have been patient for my review (which is so long right now that AnimeA won't even let me paste it all in one post!), so I want to hear your opinion.

For those who don't know, I was awarded AnimeA's "Biggest Techie" award and I recently became a mod of the Computer Related section. I want to keep up with my new responsibilities on this forum and retain my title.

Please post your comments/questions/suggestions below and vote as to what you want me to do! Thanks everyone.

I think it would be best viewed in the tech section

First voter!!!

Anyways I voted for it to be in a stickie. . .

But if you post it all at once it would be nicer for ppl to see and compare and get an idea of what they want. . .

And opening another "question and answer" thread for the review is also nice, so pll wont open new thread every so and then to ask question. . . that'd be very . . well . . you get the idea. . . .

It will be posted in the tech section, mate. I am just wondering if the community wants the review "all-at-once" (and wait for me to complete it all), or if you want it in chunks (like the anti-virus review first, then in two weeks, the firewall review, etc.). This review is the largest I have ever done and each product was tested to an extreme detail, so it will take a while to get all of the numbers and notes on a proper paper. Do you understand, mate?

Edit: You guys post fast! Thanks for the info so far everyone. ;-)

Installments are usually easier to follow so I would go with that. :)

I agree with the installments plan.

alex1_phang3 · 02-05-2008, 10:40 AM

Hmm installments seems reasonable. . .

so its installments ++ a thread to ask questions then . .

better to have it in installments and then stickied so that even months later, other newbies can still read them ... and I kinda have a short attention span when it comes to tech stuff so better make them short reads in installments ... maybe post a little everyday ... hehehehehe ... I can't wait for your review BlackBlade :D
