    Have you thought about putting Game covers on the description page.
    Or putting on better gameplay screenshots.
    Or using the rating or forum thread section of the description which are in place but just not used??

    No to covers, no to description. Better screenshots = up to users as they're user submitted.

    Rating and forum thread has obviously been "thought about". But I have no time to make it work.

    Seph... maybe you could find a little widget to put in by all the game pictures that has a rating and you can rate it 1-5.... one rate per user.

    You can't *find* widgets that magically work, you have to create them. I do know how I want to do the rating, I just don't have the time or energy to spend programming it right now.

    Well... FreeWebs serves a good code, it has rating and commenting in one code, here it is (HTML code):
    Code:
    <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="300" 
src="http://link.members.freewebs.com/Members/Feedback/inlineRatingBox.jsp?ownerID=50695345&listID=16440604&limit=5&duration=40&showRatings=true&s
howComments=true&startHidden=false&inline=1"></iframe>

    Code:
    <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="510"
 src="http://link.members.freewebs.com/Members/Feedback/inlineRatingBox.jsp?
ownerID=50695345&listID=16440604&limit=10&duration=40&showRatings=true&s
howComments=true&startHidden=false&inline=1"></iframe>

    Code:
    <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="100%" height="510" 
src="http://link.members.freewebs.com/Members/Feedback/inlineRatingBox.jsp?
ownerID=50695345&listID=16440604&limit=20&duration=40&showRatings=true&s
howComments=true&startHidden=false&inline=1"></iframe>

    There is absolutely no way in hell I am ever going to include freewebs remote code on RomUlation. That'd be insanely unprofessional. The ratings would be remotely hosted and would be nearly useless because it'd be just ratings. So we'd have the same problems as before.

    Well... You could create the same file on your site... Or you can (of course) create your own ratings code.

    Seph, I'm also sure you have other admins who would be willing to help.

    Not any who has the time or skill to code, no.

    Wait a second... The comments are already included. If I'm correct the rating also has been included... Not sure.

    Comments exist in a rather basic form, and ratings are disabled due to fail.

    OK. So lets say ratings doesn't exist.
    The users can create topics, I don't know if Simple Machines is capable of auto-creating threads...?
