Catalyst Paintball Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey guys, something yesterday gave me the idea to create a shisha review website. So last night, I compiled around 30 reviews to start off. All of these reviews are from previous review threads where I have either taken them word for word, or changed the context to fit a standard review format:Smell:Cut:Smoke Density:Flavor:Rating:Reviewed By:It is pretty time consuming, but it could be very rewarding. Is there a interest for this? Should I keep going? I am putting my horrible skills in Dreamweaver at work to get the first 30 reviews up online.

NorthEastSmoker Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think it's a great idea. Not only would it help people in finding reviews, but it keeps them consistent, and also motivates people to write reviews as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 definately a great idea, do you have a contact e-mail for people to send you their reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavis Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 sorry for the double post, but if you need any help with getting this stuff on the web let me know, i have HTML skills and know some great web hosting sitesmy e-mail is pauldavis@turnonyourlights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 goood stuf, how are you creating the site? is it all in HTML (i assume not as you say database.) It could prove useful. you should add reviews for different things too, e.g. hookah's and hookah bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Paintball Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Used the wrong words MrGuy. It will be in HTML.I plan on bumming this site ontop of my existing paintball site for a few weeks.Pauldavis, I'm going to shoot you an email. I'd much rather have someone else setup up this site and then I can maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 what!! you can't do it in HTML!!! u want to get it in php and mysql! that way you can have alsort of fancy sorting stuff. or even better, ASP.net. lok for a tutorial, that looks p*ss easy to learn! PHP and MySQL is easy though. using a proper database language would make it a lot better because it would mean people could easily add to the reviews and sort the reviews to their own preferences.

Buford Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 PHP? Bah! REAL men code their websites in Perl! Ok, I'm biased. I've been doing Perl/MySQL website backend scripting as a job for 6 1/2 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastSmoker Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 So he's volunteering his time and effort to do something free to benefit all of us, and yet people still jump all over him for not doing it in the codes they'd want it done in. You know the saying.. if want something done right, ........

Buford Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Oh, I don't particularly care how it's done if I'm not the one doing it. I had thought about something similar a while back but I can't get off my lazy butt to actually put antthing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sorry for the double post, but I just remembered this - there is a database-driven site for pipe tobacco reviews that could be used as a model or at least for ideas:[url="http://www.tobaccoreviews.com"]tobaccoreviews.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I considered doing this until I realized that manufacturers could just submit good reviews for their products. Nice idea tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Um. Pimpy. there are ALOT of reviews out there from non manufacturers. In fact, what would one review from a person matter when you have like 10 other perspectives? It's a great idea, catalyst, you should really do that. It gets time consuming going from like 8 page thread to some other thread to some other thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Review:Tangiers TobaccoIts awesome...tastes like gold. 11/10We would have to have some means of restricting who got in with reviews to protect ourselves from unscrupulous people like Tangiers. Maybe we could have like a second layer of membership...like for reviews and such...by invitation only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
