CloseI am also strongly against allowing you to rate games without leaving a review. It makes games extremely susceptible to temporary waves of drama. For instance, you can guarantee that any time a polarizing game wins a spotlight or the Misaos that it'll get a wave of negative scores.
For that reason, I'm also against "this review is helpful Y/N" as a feature because it tends to be used as "I agree with this" instead, which basically amounts to the above happening.

@ kentona & ankylo: Thanks, that explains a lot. Out of curiosity, what if we try this option Firefox FAQ links to? From what I understand, it'll last us three years, and we can see what happens afterwards.
And about SEO: all I know is that alexa.com currently lists us as 81,298th website globally. Decent enough given the inherent limitations, I suppose, but it could probably be better, which is why I was interested in that stuff in the first place. I suppose it's now back to the old-fashioned way of integrating our best & brightest onto TVTropes and hoping for the best.
@ Sailerius: Like I said before, I strongly agree with you on the first count. However, what if we decide to break new ground and provide both "This review is helpful Y/N" and "I agree with this review Y/N"? If anything, it would make for a great social psychology experiment, exploring how many people are honest/unbiased enough to admit that a review they disagree with was still helpful/well-written, etc.

The site is already fairly SEO friendly, due to the fact it has actual content and not any kind of lame meta tag stuffing nonsense. I wouldn't worry about it.
However, the HTTPS thing is definitely something you should take a look at. Chrome is going to follow a similar battle plan as Firefox. A secure web is the best web.
Also please throwaway my freshmen code.

Haha, touche! I'm actually in favor of doing "secure HTTP" with the same prefix. Unfortunately it's just a proposal right now.

Wait, so the argument is that when a website switches from HTTP to HTTPS, the old links still written with HTTP become invalid? I'm not sure what's like on other browsers, but mine automatically converts them even if I deliberately remove the "s" from link. (i.e. here) Or is there something else at play we should be concerned about?
That's not your browser doing it but their server returns a 301 Redirect HTTP code (Moved Permanently) to the https location which your browser then automatically navigates to. Here's the response for a GET / on their http server:
e: Without the url tags obviously. Our bbcode engine stinks.

That's because the server is detecting you trying to connect with HTTP and redirecting. The browser doesn't do it automatically. Not every site will do it.

@GreatRedSpirit: Thanks. Very illuminating.
Is it just because some webmasters are lazy, or is there some difference in underlying infrastructure that makes certain websites incapable of making such redirects? Thanks in advance.

if you changed a color of the theme by 1 rgb value per week how long until someone notices
Thanks so much for the changes!
One thing, and I hope this will be slightly simple to implement... can we make it so that if you click "Subscribe!" again, it will unsubscribe?

what do you think about different colored stars for reviews of incomplete games? Makes it easier to tell at a glance that a review is for an incomplete game, and if a game doesn't have a review thats up to date by seeing their star rating in a different color.

I agree with Rhyme on the different colored star ratings. It'll be easier to tell if a review is outdated. :)
Could I ask for two things please? ^.^
A search feature for Achievements (going through the pages can be a bit of a hassle) and putting the username input at the top of the page? That way, with long lists, we don't need to scroll to the bottom each time. It'd be appreciated! ^.^)b

I think I'm the only one raising a hue and cry for Indexed Images, but I'll do it again anyway.
