Chewing the Fat..? 25/02/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Friendly place, good debate
Disadvantages some may take debate personally, difficulty in maintaining fairness

Despite having been a regular Review writer for a few large sites for almost six years, I never really got into the off-site community aspects. Over the years there have been quite a few different offshoots in their various guises, where regular review writers would gather over a virtual coffee and generally put the review writing world to rights, as well as solve world hunger and other matters. I first joined www.reviewwritersforum.co.uk about 11 months ago now. The site is run by our very own Rachel (thingywhatsit) who has given up a lot of time and commitment to keep the site running for us ... more

My Review on the review writers forum! 24/06/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages a good place to hang out and meet new people
Disadvantages needs more participation, site is a little plain

The review writer's forum is a forum started by quite a popular member of both review sites, ciao and dooyoo. Thingywhatsit - or Rachel, as she is also known- set up the forum in the hope to bring members together to have a laugh, make new friends and basically just create a happy, easy going web space for members of all review sites. But can a forum ever be completely happy? And does the website provide harmless fun or is it just another boring site that people sign up to and never take part? Well, as someone who frequents the site daily, here is my view on Thingywhatsit's online forum. *** ... more

Tis An Art To A Good Wee Forum Doncha Think 10/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Tis Good Fun
Disadvantages Takes Up More of my Time

Tis An Art To A Good Forum. I have been a member of this forum for over a year now but it's only after I started a forum of my own that I realised how hard it is to keep one going and the effort one has to put into it. ….. Anyway as most of you will know the Reviewwriters Forum is run by Rachael (Thingywhatsit) and is mainly a writer's site. Most people are usually put of a site by the signing up process but here you just pick a user name (which is usually best being your site name) and give your email address and as soon as you get an email back you are ready to go………. On logging onto the ... more

Dooyoo wanna chat or say Ciao!?! 14/05/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Meet and make friends with members of Ciao you read all the time.
Disadvantages Not everyone has joined yet!!!

Reviewwritersforum.co.uk was created in 2005 for review writers from primarily Dooyoo and Ciao as a meeting place where members can talk about their use of both sites. The intention was to make a place that was accessible for members of these sites, other review writers and fans of the written word to come and chat, discuss, debate, enter competitions and above all have fun. ##THE MAIN PAGE## When you first log onto the site you are faced with a kind of block effect front page. This shows you all the different areas you can access. The first section is for "All site information" and this is ... more

Advantages Well constructed, easy to navigate with a large membership and a variety of topics
Disadvantages Moderation and editing of postings. Strict no-naming policy.

As a member of a consumer review site sometimes you feel an urge to converse with people online without the constraints attached to your membership. You do not necessarily want to read and rate, you just want to chew the fat with people you have come to know be it opinion site related, or matters of the everyday. This is were sites such as "The Review Writers Forum" come in to play. I have been using "The Review Writers Forum" as a stopgap to wile away the time when my enthusiasm for reading consumer reviews wanes. "The Review Writers Forum" is essentially a forum for members of opinion sites ... more
