Default Query: Why aren't there more reviews in the "Featured Full Reviews" section?

I've always wondered why a lot of the reviews seem so few, and (some) quite outdated. I understand that they're reserved for full-length reviews, but it is a bit odd not to have more.

While this is news to absolutely no one, the various equipment threads have been kind of choked with a bunch of "This or that" and "What should I buy" threads. If there were more reviews sorted into that subcategory, do you think that people would ask these questions less? I personally don't think so... but at least we can point them to the review sections in a tone similar to that of a kindly request to use the search function before posting.

As for encouraging people to make full fledged, full-length reviews... I don't know how that could start up. Perhaps have some of the older, well-established members get sent review equipment from vendors to write such articles? I still consider myself a newbie (with bad taste in music), but I know that there are still quite a few with excellent ears and a knack for writing.

Just an idea.

Yea, I've wondered that myself a couple times. I've read a bunch of great, thorough reviews that haven't been "featured" per say, and really they should, so they don't get lost in the archives.

I was wondering about that a few years ago when I made my Stax review. I don't know why it was not stickied although it's a long review. Maybe because my opinion is not valid here?

Just PM a mod, or report your review post with a comment maybe? (to request it be featured) I'm sure they haven't been able to read every thread created on the forum.

I once wrote a really great review, and they didn't add it in.

A year later I wrote a really crappy review, and it made it in.
