View Full Version : Store info threads - perhaps more regional subforums

I was thinking about having threads that "review" stores. It would be useful for CAGs to keep tabs on stores in their regions, specifically for sales and whatnot - it seems like it could be a useful time saver if you knew if you would be able to get in on a deal (or at least know the probablility). I was thinking within a region, the threads would be titled something like "Best Buy - Niles, OH" and then any CAG that has shopped at that store can put in input - Employees to look for, employees to avoid, trade-in deals, any games of interest, what they do with penny guides, if they give out promo stuff, etc.

The issue I see is that I think the best way to do it is to have more subforums under regional. Some places may need more than 1 - I don't think South Dakota would need to split up, but a place like Ohio would need to be split up Northeast, etc., and I don't know if that would make the forums too unwieldly.

Anyways, just a thought (and not articulated very well due to last nights activities), but I think it would be a useful asset when big sales or price drops come around.

We've had something like that...and i have no clue where it went. Anyways, it bombed as far as i can remember.

Also, just posting in a states thread can get the point accross.

Well, I thought about it, but then realized I've been to well over 50 game stores the past 2 weeks, and that would be a pretty huge post to manage. It'd also be hard to update during sales and whatnot.

Yeah, we have the makings of a store review database, but it never officialy launched.
Unfortunately, the guy who created it is so busy, I'm having trouble getting him to fix stuff thats been broken since the server move.

One day...
