    hey guys
    i love this site and just wanted to see if any other members thought it would be a good idea for members to leave comments/posts about a programme after they download it so as to give more info to the next interested mj, just thought id throw it out there see how ye feel about it:)

    Comments on downloads could get outta hand, IMHO. :) Good idea, though member only comments might be helpful. Doubtful. :(

    BigBazza like to make new threads commenting about new updates or new programs s/he likes. Then others sometimes comment on them, afterwards.

    We would never allow it, of course the forums are here for you :) We debated adding ratings for years. After all, you dont know why someone rated a program poorly.

    Read any website that allows comments. You cant find a mature group anywhere :(

    Allow me to quote.... well me..

    P.S Our gaming site does allow comments and will on relaunch, though it is geared more for reviews. Majorgeeks has gotten too big for 2 guys to delete silly comment threads is another reason we dont :)

    BTW folks I'm a guy. ;) Bazza is 'strine for Barry :D

    None of this he/she PC business. :D
    I'm 6'6" and around 230 pounds.
    Never seen a lady that tall, although I once dated a 6'4" tall lady.

    A guide to 'strine (or Australian slang) can be found at http://www.abc.net.au/civics/globalcitizens/ozstrine.htm
    for you non-Aussies. :D

    As for reviews, I sometimes list programs that I find on the front page of www.majorgeeks.com that may be of interest to fellow MG'ers.
    I don't always try them myself, just list them.

    BTW, a sort of review for each MG program is the vote box (from 1-5 vote range)

    For Example http://www.majorgeeks.com/MemInfo_d5308.html

    has Rating: 2.5 (2 votes)
    1. Bad 2. Not Geeky 3. Average 4. Good 5. Geek-o-licious

    Two votes, but with a rating of 2.5.

    Don't think I'll try that one, when compared with

    FreeRamXP Pro (for all Win OS's, not just XP)

    Rating: 4.77 (362 votes)
    1. Bad 2. Not Geeky 3. Average 4. Good 5. Geek-o-licious


    A rating of 4.77 out of a possible 5, and 362 votes. I'd rate it a 5, myself
