How many times do they have to tell you? Either your being dense intentionally to stir things up, or you're actually a moron. I'm rooting for the latter.

Radek would be this sites developer.

He does have a sense of purpose, he's not trying to recreate an MTBR review database, more of a PRODUCT SPEC database. Sure it happens to have a recommendation part to it, and if there's flaming in a rcomment it will get removed. We want a clean site.

Feel free to exercise your fashion. Just realize it isn't designed to be a copycat of mtbr.

no it hasn't, besides trying to separate PB from mtbr then no

Well that is one reason by design of the system.

lets try this from another vantage point. what are you trying to achive by having the recommendation part, because i want to know the good the bad and the ugly before buying a part, now if you're not trying to promote sales why have recommendations in the first place

I already explained this. People give more fake bad reviews than good reviews. If you want to read a bunch of crap user reviews, go to mtbr and try to figure it our from there. This is not that system.

i'm not buying something just cuz a couple extra guys talk praise of something

I do and most people too. That's how I buy things. Because most of the time (most, not always) the most popular stuff is good. At least this cuts things down to less products and I can research them in more detail.
I do this all the time. I walk into a server store and find out what the most popular motherboard is and it's (usually) the best bang for your buck. This saves me time and effort.

giantgl0ryh0le wrote:
recommendations seem pointless at this time
Recommendations don't need to have text in them. The text is optional. You don't need to read the text. It's there just so maybe some additional info can be given. Maybe a place to buy it cheap, or some other option that someone got, etc.

To summarize what this section is about.

1. Allow you to access data about products in one place, and not have to scour the internet, and company sites, and fish for the info. It's here, and in one place, and in the same format.

2. Allow you to quickly compare things. You don't need a bunch of windows open, you just look at the differences side by side.

3. Allow you to quickly see all the products of a specific type in one place. So quickly see all the DH bikes, possibly making you aware of one model/brand you didn't know about.

4. See what's popular. Yes. What people recommend. If I ride the same way as another user that has some products recommended, chances are those products would work for me too.

i think you guys should add like a "recently added product" bar at the bottom so people know what the newest stuff is. like how the photo section used to have a recent photo bar.

im pretty sure theyre contacting the companies so that the specs and MSRP's are 100% accurate. clearly, blk mrkt has responded with their info, and im assuming dobermann hasn't.

Good exposure like that is not FREE Wink

We are working something out to be on that list. But it might take some time.

it doesn't any more i liked that, i think instead of "a recent" maybe like "most recommended" or something like that.

could a minimum letter count be imposed for the recomendations?
its rather useless to simple have a recomendation but no comment
i think i 20 word limit or something?
also stops people just saying "sweet ride, buy it"

correct me if im wrong, but i think this wont happen because thats kind of turning it into a review section, and thats not what this is. the product section is for some where to look at specs and compare different parts. the recommendations part is just to see how popular the product is, since usually the better parts are used more.
